-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
January 22, 1999
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

_________________________________________________________________
The original release of this advisory contained an error. Please take
note of the changes mentioned in the revision history section at the

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

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.
