Debian Security Advisory DSA-1271-1                security@xxxxxxxxxx

Package        : openafs
Vulnerability  : design error
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-1507

A design error has been identified in the OpenAFS, a cross-platform
distributed filesystem included with Debian.

OpenAFS historically has enabled setuid filesystem support for the local
cell.  However, with its existing protocol, OpenAFS can only use
encryption, and therefore integrity protection, if the user is
authenticated.  Unauthenticated access doesn't do integrity protection.
The practical result is that it's possible for an attacker with
knowledge of AFS to forge an AFS FetchStatus call and make an arbitrary
binary file appear to an AFS client host to be setuid.  If they can then
arrange for that binary to be executed, they will be able to achieve
privilege escalation.

OpenAFS 1.3.81-3sarge2 changes the default behavior to disable setuid
files globally, including the local cell.  It is important to note that
this change will not take effect until the AFS kernel module, built from
the openafs-modules-source package, is rebuilt and loaded into your
kernel.  As a temporary workaround until the kernel module can be
reloaded, setuid support can be manually disabled for the local cell by
running the following command as root

      fs setcell -cell <localcell> -nosuid

Following the application of this update, if you are certain there is
no security risk of an attacker forging AFS fileserver responses, you
can re-enable setuid status selectively with the following command,
however this should not be done on sites that are visible to the
Internet

      fs setcell -cell <localcell> -suid

For the stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3.81-3sarge2.  For the unstable distribution (sid) and the
upcoming stable distribution (etch), this problem will be fixed in
version 1.4.2-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your openafs package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Debian 3.1 (stable)
- -------------------

Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, 
mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
