IBM SECURITY ADVISORY


First Issued: Tue May 22 14:00:24 CDT 2007
| Updated: Tue Jun 12 08:09:47 CDT 2007

===========================================================================
                           VULNERABILITY SUMMARY

VULNERABILITY:      A vulnerability in the Perl interpreter may allow a
                    local user to execute arbitrary code as another
                    user.

PLATFORMS:          AIX 5.2 and AIX 5.3.

SOLUTION:           Install the interim fixes or APARs as described below.

THREAT:             A local user may execute arbitrary code as another
                    user.

CERT VU Number:     n/a
CVE Number:         n/a
===========================================================================
                           DETAILED INFORMATION


I.  Description
===============

A vulnerability exists in the AIX Perl interpreter and other related Perl
binaries that allows a local user to execute arbitrary code as another
user. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must wait for
a legitimate user to execute a binary that ships with Perl. The arbitrary
code will run with the privileges of the legitimate user.

The following table shows which filesets are affected by this issue:

AIX Release          Fileset           Lower         Upper
                                       Level         Level
=============================================================
| AIX 5.2              perl.rte          5.8.0.10      5.8.0.105
| AIX 5.3              perl.rte          5.8.2.10      5.8.2.60

| Update: AIX 5200-10 and AIX 5300-06 are also affected.

Perl binaries ship as part of the perl.rte fileset. To determine which
version of a given fileset is installed, execute the following command:

| # lslpp -L | grep perl.rte

The fileset will be listed along with its version information, state, type
and a description.


II. Impact
==========

A local user may execute arbitrary code as another user.


III.  Solutions
===============

A. Official Fix

IBM provides the following fixes:

      APAR number for AIX 5.2.0:  IY98394 (available approx. 07/25/07)
      APAR number for AIX 5.3.0:  IY98395 (available approx. 07/04/07)

NOTE: Affected customers are urged to upgrade to the latest applicable
Technology Level.

B. Interim Fix

Interim fixes are available. The interim fixes can be downloaded via ftp
from:

    ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/perl_ifix.tar.Z

This is a compressed tarball containing this advisory, interim fix packages
and cleartext PGP signatures for each package.


Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:

The checksums below were generated using the "sum" and "md5sum" commands
and are as follows:

| IY98395.060607.epkg.Z   10126 15223   542fd649aa7cac74d37ba2b4b06ecc2f

| UPDATE: New interim fixes are now available to support affected releases:

|     AIX 5200-10: IY98394.060607.epkg.Z
|     AIX 5300-06: IY98395.060607.epkg.Z

These sums should match exactly. The PGP signatures in the compressed
tarball and on this advisory can also be used to verify the integrity of
the various files they correspond to. If the sums or signatures cannot be
confirmed, double check the command results and the download site address.
If those are OK, contact IBM AIX Security at security-alert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and describe the discrepancy.

The following table shows the prerequisite fileset level for the fixes
above. These levels are for perl.rte.

IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup of the
system is created. Verify it is both bootable, and readable before
proceeding.


Interim Installation Instructions:
+---------------------------------

These packages use the new Interim Fix Management Solution to install and
manage ifixes. More information can be found at:

     http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html

To preview an epkg ifix installation execute the following command:

# emgr -e ipkg_name -p       # where ipkg_name is the name of the
                             # ifix package being previewed.

To install an epkg ifix package, execute the following command:

# emgr -e ipkg_name -X       # where ipkg_name is the name of the
                             # ifix package being installed.

The "X" flag will expand any filesystems if required.
