Title: Trojan horse version of TCP Wrappers
Released by: CERT

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hash: SHA1



This message is a re-issue of CERT Advisory CA-99.01, originally

issued on Thursday, January 21, 1999. We are re-issuing this advisory

for several reasons: 



        - The original advisory contained an error. Specifically, we 

        incorrectly said that intruders could gain root access by 

        connecting TO port 421. That is incorrect. The way the Trojan 

        horse is designed, intruders can gain root access by connecting 

        FROM port 421. Our thanks to Jochen Bauer of the Institute for 

        Theoretical Physics at the University of Stuttgart for first 

        identifying this error, 



        - The author and maintainer of the program, Wietse Venema, 

        has moved the official distribution site for TCP Wrappers to a 

        different location,



        - We have provided checksums for individual files to aid sites

        in determining if they have authentic copies. 



CERT Advisory CA-99-01-Trojan-TCP-Wrappers



   Original issue date: January 21, 1999

   Last Revised: January 22, 1998

     _________________________________________________________________

   

   The original release of this advisory contained an error. Please take

   note of the changes mentioned in the revision history section at the

   end of this file.

Topic: Trojan horse version of TCP Wrappers

     _________________________________________________________________

   

   The CERT Coordination Center has received confirmation that some

   copies of the source code for the TCP Wrappers tool (tcpd) were

   modified by an intruder and contain a Trojan horse.

   

   We strongly encourage sites running the TCP Wrappers tool to

   immediately verify the integrity of their distribution.

     _________________________________________________________________

   

I. Description



   TCP Wrappers is a tool commonly used on Unix systems to monitor and

   filter connections to network services.

   

   The CERT Coordination Center has received confirmation that some

   copies of the file tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz have been modified by an

   intruder and contain a Trojan horse. This file contains the source

   code for TCP Wrappers version 7.6. This Trojan horse appears to have

   been made available on a number of FTP servers since Thursday, January

   21, 1999 at 06:16:00 GMT. Copies downloaded prior to this time are not

   affected by this particular trojan horse.

   

   The Trojan horse version of TCP Wrappers provides root access to

   intruders initiating connections which have a source port of 421.

   Additionally, upon compilation, this Trojan horse version sends email

   to an external address. This email includes information identifying

   the site and the account that compiled the program. Specifically, the

   program sends information obtained from running the commands 'whoami'

   and 'uname -a'.

   

II. Impact



   An intruder can gain unauthorized root access to any host running this

   Trojan horse version of TCP Wrappers.

   

   Note: If you have already installed a Trojan horse version of TCP

   Wrappers, intruders can identify your site using information contained

   in this advisory. Please read the "Solution" section and take

   appropriate action to protect your site as soon as possible.

   

III. Solution



   We encourage sites who downloaded a copy of the TCP Wrapper after

   Thursday, January 21, 1999 at 06:16:00 GMT to verify the authenticity

   of their TCP Wrapper distribution, regardless of where it was

   obtained.

   

   You can use the following MD5 checksums to verify the integrity of

   your TCP Wrappers distribution:

Correct version:

    tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz

        MD5  = e6fa25f71226d090f34de3f6b122fb5a

        size = 99438

    tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar

        MD5  = 5da85a422a30045a62da165404575d8e

        size = 360448



Trojan Horse version:

    tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz

        MD5  = af7f76fb9960a95a1341c1777b48f1df

        size = 99186



   Appendix A provides checksums for the individual files within the

   distribution. It is not sufficient to rely on the timestamps of the

   file when trying to determine whether or not you have a copy of the

   Trojan horse version.

   

   Additionally, the file tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz is distributed with the

   detached PGP signature tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz.sig.

   

   Wietse Venema is the author and maintainer of the TCP Wrappers

   distribution.You can verify the integrity and authenticity of your

   distribution with Wietse Venema's PGP public key. We have included a

   copy of his PGP public key below. Note that the Trojan horse version

   was not signed, and that Wietse Venema's PGP key was not compromised

   in any way.

   

   As a workaround, until you are able to verify your copies of TCP

   Wrappers, you can block inbound connections with a source port of 421

   at your network perimeter. However, it is possible that some operating

   systems or software may use port 421 in legitimate connections. Thus,

   it is possible that some legitimate connections might be blocked.

   

Where to Get TCP Wrappers



   Wietse Venema has moved the primary FTP archive for TCP Wrapper source

   to a different location. The primary archive is now located at

   

     http://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/

     

   Sites that mirror the TCP Wrapper source code are encouraged to update

   their mirroring procedures.

   

   Wietse Venema expresses his gratitude to his former employer,

   Eindhoven University, for making possible the development and

   distribution of the TCP Wrapper software, and appreciates the support

   from system administrators of the department of mathematics and

   computing science.

   

   Additionally, we have verified that the distribution of TCP Wrappers

   offered by the CERT Coordination Center at ftp.cert.org was not

   involved in this activity. TCP Wrappers is available from our FTP site

   at

   

     http://ftp.cert.org/pub/tools/tcp_wrappers/tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz

     MD5 checksum: e6fa25f71226d090f34de3f6b122fb5a

Revision History

Fri January 22, 1999   Modified to reflect that the Trojan horse

                       provides root access to intruders initiating

                       connections from source port of 421 as opposed

                       to a destination port of 421.



                       Added section indicating that the primary FTP

                       archive for TCP Wrapper source has changed.



                       Added an MD5 checksum and size for the correct

                       version of the file tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.



                       Added MD5 checksums for individual files

                       within the TCP Wrapper distribution.
