(Small) software that needs code audit
by Hans de Goede 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi, As some of you already know I'm a computer science teacher at a Dutch university. Currently I'm giving a course about security. For my next practical lesson I want my students todo an audit of a small piece of C-code. Nothing fancy really just looking for sprintf instead of snprintf, gets instead of fgets, etc. And formatstring vulnerabilities. Does anyone know of some (small!) piece of software in Fedora (Extras) that could benefit from this? And are there any other simple checks my students could do? Any findings will of course be published. Thanks & Regards, Hans

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. Summary: multiple vulnerabilities in thttpds htpasswd utility https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191095 ------- Additional Comments From tibbs(a)math.uh.edu 2006-05-26 11:22 EST ------- I did some comparisons but the htpasswd.c in thttpd is so old that it doesn't resemble any of the code in the Apache versions I have around. There's one comment in the thttpd htpasswd.c that concerns me: /* Modified 29aug97 by Jef Poskanzer to accept new password on stdin, ** if stdin is a pipe or file. This is necessary for use from CGI. I don't know that the Apache htpasswd.c supports this; if not, it would have to be hacked back in. I'll attach the current Apache htpasswd.c. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Form of submitted security issues
by Jason L Tibbitts III 25 May '06

25 May '06

OK, I submitted a couple of security issues. Could someone comment on whether I followed the proper procedure, use the proper form for entries in the audit list, etc? Also, one of the bugs was noted as perhaps not being a security issue. I don't really want to be in the position of deciding what is and is not a security issue, but I'd like to know: is there agreement that I should not have entered one or both of those issues at all? - J<

Dia format string vulnerabilities (correction)
by Hans de Goede 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi all, I was a bit short on time when I mailed my previous mail on this, so I didn't test (I didn't even compile) the patch. It turns out my previous patch contained one cut and paste error causing compilation to fail. The attached patch fixes this and has been tested. Regards, Hans
