Quick Summary:
************************************************************************
Advisory Number : SRT2003-08-11-0729
Product : ViRobot Linux Server
Version : Ver 2.0
Vendor : http://www.hauri.net
Class : local (remote?)
Criticality : High
Operating System(s) : *nix
High Level Explanation
************************************************************************
High Level Description : Antivirus software has local security issues
What to do : chmod -s all suids in /usr/local/ViRobot/
Technical Details
************************************************************************
Proof Of Concept Status : SNO has PoC code for this issue
Low Level Description :
Alex Hernandez "Security Specialist" from Spain pointed out to us that a
new unix based antivirus solution contained a large number of suids. Based
on this information we both began beating on the suids in efforts to expose
security issues.
ViRobot Linux Server protects your file server from viruses. It can have
up-to-date definition files through scheduled update and it scans most
compressed file formats. ViRobot Linux Server is very convenient with
remote-control function via web access. A user who has the ID and password
for the server, can access ViRobot on the server from any computer via
web browser. Please have a safe server with ViRobot Linux Server... but
be sure to chmod -s everything in sight.
There are several potential suids to abuse... some have local overflows that
may or may not be exploitable I honestly only checked a few since most are
run as cgi scripts (more fun later?).
