Two SCO Security Advisories:

1. SCOSA-2005.53 - UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : OpenSSH Multiple
Vulnerabilities

2. SCOSA-2005.54 - UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : uidadmin Buffer
Overflow Vulnerability


Detail
======

1. Two security issues have been reported in OpenSSH, which can be
exploited by malicious users to gain escalated privileges or
bypass certain security restrictions.

2. Local exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
uidadmin binary allows attackers to gain root privileges.

SCO Security Advisory

Subject: UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : OpenSSH Multiple Vulnerabilities
Advisory number: SCOSA-2005.53
Issue date: 2005 December 12
Cross reference: erg712933 fz532978 sr894960
CVE-2005-2797 CVE-2005-2798
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

Two security issues have been reported in OpenSSH, which can be
exploited by malicious users to gain escalated privileges or
bypass certain security restrictions.

An error in handling dynamic port forwardings when no listen
address is specified, can cause "GatewayPorts" to be incorrectly
activated.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-2797 to this issue.

An error in handling GSSAPI credential delegation can allow a
user, who did not login using GSSAPI authentication, to be
delegated with GSSAPI credentials.

Successful exploitation requires that
"GSSAPIDelegateCredentials" is enabled.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-2798 to this issue.

SCO Security Advisory

Subject: UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : uidadmin Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Advisory number: SCOSA-2005.54
Issue date: 2005 December 12
Cross reference: fz533178
CVE-2005-3903
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

Local exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
uidadmin binary allows attackers to gain root privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that user
have local access to the system. This would allow the user to
gain superuser privileges.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-3903 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

System Binaries

ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/updates/UnixWare/SCOSA-2005.54


4.2 Verification

MD5 (p533178.image) = 612805326316c16e07d632d3e0d1a82e

md5 is available for download from
ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/security/tools


4.3 Installing Fixed Binaries

Upgrade the affected binaries with the following sequence:

Download p533178.image to the /var/spool/pkg directory.

# pkgadd -d /var/spool/pkg/p533178.image

Note that UnixWare 7.1.3 Maintenance Pack 5 is required to
