[cobalt-security] RE: The nasty RaQ hack...



What is the normal setting for /usr/lib/authenticate?

I set it to 755 and my users cannot get to their web stats now. Thanks.

chmod 4755 will put the setuid back on the file and to it's original setting.

As far as I can tell (and from what others have noted), if you're up-to-date with your Cobalt/SUN patches, you should be okay. Although an openSSL upgrade from Cobalt would be a nice treat.

You might want to chmod 700 gcc for a bit of extra security -that RaQFuCk.sh script (or was it the SSL exploit) needs to get hold of gcc to do it's thing.
