NOTE: You must reboot your system after installing this ECO, to load the new software features. This ECO has a ranking of 2 - Recommended; individual component may fail. The following problems are addressed by this kit: SSH Server: - [DE 8682] - CERT advisory CA-2002-36, "Multiple Vulnerabilities in SSH Implementations", is addressed in this ECO. Note that the F-Secure security advisory "Setsid() Vulnerability in F-Secure SSH" does not affect this software. - [DE 8677] - If an account is marked CAPTIVE or RESTRICTED in its UAF record and an expired password is encountered, the LGICMD command procedure could enter an infinite loop and the password could not be changed. This has been changed such that when an expired password is encountered, the logical name SSH_EXPIRED_PWD_ will be defined in the LNM$SSH_LOGICALS table, where is the PID of the user process. The captive command procedure must be modified to look for this logical name, and if it's encountered, it may then do whatever the user desires for changing the account's password. - [DE 8679] - The TT_ACCPORNAM string set for an SSH session has been modified so that it's prefaced with "ssh/", in order to allow a user command procedure or program to determine that it's running as an SSH session. For example, the TT_ACCPORNAM string will now look like: $ write sys$output f$getjpi("", "TT_ACCPORNAM") ssh/foo.bar.com:10333 - [DE 8587] - By default, the BannerMessageFile keyword is set to display the contents of SYS$ANNOUNCE. If the default for BannerMessageFile isn't changed and the SYS$ANNOUNCE logical is deleted from the system, the text "sys$announce" will display during the login session. The proper behavior is to display nothing. - [DE 8688] - The VMS accounting record for SSH sessions will have the REMOTE NODE field loaded with the value "SSH", "SCP" or "SFTP" as appropriate, and the REMOTE ID field will be loaded with the client's IP address and port number in hex as "xxxxxxx:xxxx". This will allow system managers to display all SSH sessions for a given timeframe, by using the /NODE= qualifier on the ACCCOUNTING command line. [DE 7048] - [DE 8695] - The SSHD server process would retain its identity as belonging to the SSH user. It should take the identity under which SSHD_MASTER runs. - [DE 8701] - The SSH2 server process will occasionally exit prematurely when attempting to copy a file via SCP or SFTP to the server system, so the copy attempt would fail. SSH File Transfer - [DE 8524] - When using SecureFX V2.1 from VanDyke Technologies, the transfer would fail with Invalid SFTP request ID in server response. Closed SFTP channel. - [DE 8672] - For OpenVMS AXP 7.2 and higher systems, enable support to allow transfers of files greater than 2GB in size. All OpenVMS AXP V7.1.x and lower, and all OpenVMS VAX systems, will still be restricted to a maximum file size of 2GB. - [DE 8648] - Correct a problem with SCP commands issued from a system using OpenSSH that did not preserve uppercase letters in filenames. The SCP servers use SRI encoding to preserve the case of filenames. The $ character is the escape character that signifies that there is a change in how the following character(s) should be interpreted. If the following character is an alphabetic character, then the case changes. (The initial case is lower, so the first $ changes it to upper, then next to lower, etc.) If the following character is a $, then the result is a $ (with no change in case). International characters in the range of octal 200 to 377 are translated to $ followed by the three-digit octal value for the character. The dot (.) character is treated as a special case. The first occurence in a file name is interpreted explicitly as a dot; later occurences are translated to the sequence "$5N". $4 followed by a letter is equivalent to the control value for that letter (hex values 1 through 1A for $4A to $4Z). $5 followed by a letter yields hex values 21 to 3A ($5A to $5Z). $7A is space. This kit also includes the following changes from previous ECO kits for TCPware V5.6.2: SSH_V562P010 - ECO rank: 2 ------------ SSH Server: - [DE 8301] - Not all clients could handle expired passwords. Changed the way they are handled to do a VMS SET PASSWORD command, then log the user out. The user may then log in using the new password. This is consistent with UNIX implementations. - [DE 8306] - The server doesn't time out on connection attempts and will wait forever for a valid ID string, blocking all future connection attempts. - [DE 8432] - The SSH server could hang if the child process it creates terminates within a few seconds of instantiation. - [DE 8424] - When a remote command was executed and DCL VERIFY was enabled after the SYLOGIN.COM and LOGIN.COM files were executed, "$ SET NOON" would appear in the command output. - [DE 8228] - Correct some grammar errors in the SSHD2_CONFIG template file. - [DE 8125] - The SSHD MASTER process didn't check to see if the SSH2 host key existed if SSH2 sessions are enabled. SSH Client - [DE 8311] - If the keyword TryEmptyPassword is used in the SSH2_CONFIG file, the SSH client will exit. SSH File Transfer - [DE 8410] - When transferring a file via SCP, some line feeds could be missing from the data, destroying the formatting. - [DE 8421] - When transferring a file from a UNIX system running SSH 3.2.0, the following error could be encountered: "FATAL: filexfer_client: bad STATUS (ver 3)" - [DE 8370] - When a "quit" command was executed from OpenSSH SFTP after transferring a file, the session would appear to hang for up to five minutes. NOTE - Although this problem has been corrected, sftp transfers are still not officially supported, even though they may work in many instances. SSH Utilities - [DE 8288] - File names in SSHADD were case-sensitive, resulting in some identity files not being found. - [DE 8298] - The TCPWARE_SSH_AGENT_ logical wasn't destroyed when the agent terminated, which could cause future login attempts using publickey authentication to fail. The old version of the replaced SSH components will be renamed to TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH2.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD2.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD_MASTER.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-ADD.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-AGENT.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SCP2.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-KEYGEN.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-KEYGEN2.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSH-SIGNER2.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SCP-SERVER1.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SFTP-SERVER2.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHD2_CONFIG.TEMPLATE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]SSHLEI.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]LOAD_SSHLEI.EXE_OLD TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]UNLOAD_SSHLEI.EXE_OLD Once installed, you may undo this patch by renaming the files back to their original names, and restarting the SSH component.

It applies to TCPware V5.6-2 and TCPware V5.5-3 on VMS/VAX V5.5-2 and later, and OpenVMS ALPHA V6.1 and later. The following changes have been made in this kit: - Corrects a problem where the TCPware_FTP process entered a "MUTEX" state when a system resource limit set by the process was reached. This problem could occur at a heavily used ftp site when there are multiple users trying to log on to the FTP server simultaneously. To resolve the problem, some limits set in the FTP_CONTROL.COM have been increased. In addition, new code was been added in the TCPware FTP server to check if the running process is close to consuming all of the resource when serving the client connection attempts. In that case, the client will receive the message "The server is busy, try again later". Please note: this "busy" situation will automatically disappear when other clients finish their initial login phase and release the resource. If this situation is still found happening frequently at the site, the site administrator should review user log on pattern and take certain measures accordingly. For example: 1. Increase the TQELM (Timer Queue Limit) of the process. 2. Reduce login idle time by using the logical TCPWARE_FTP_IDLE_TIMEOUT. ECO FTP_V562P030, Rank 3 (DE 8663) - Updates FTP_CONTROL.COM to allow users to adjust FTP server process quotas by using new logicals. These new logicals are: TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_WSLIMIT TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_WSQUOTA TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_WSEXTENT TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_PAGEFILE TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_TQELM TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_ENQLM TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_ASTLM TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_PRCLM TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_BYTLM TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_FILLM TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_DIOLM TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_BIOLM FTP_CONTROL.COM now check the logicals for process quotas, and if any of the logicals is present, it will use it's value for the quota to start TCPWARE_FTP process. If not, the default will be used. Here is an example that modifies the "TQELM" (Timer Queue Limit) quota of the process from default to 60: $ define/sys/exe TCPWARE_FTP_SERVER_TQELM 60 $ @TCPWARE:RESTART FTP ECO FTP_V562P030, Rank 3 (DE 8663) - Corrects a problem with FTP server 226 reply message which gave an inaccurate count of bytes transferred with very large files. ECO FTP_V562P030, Rank 3 (DE 8462) - Corrects a problem in TCPware 5.6 where the NETCU command "netcu set log/ftp/new" created a new log file with name "." (".;1" for example) in the user's default directory. A file name is now required with the command "netcu set log/ftp/new". ECO FTP_V562P030, Rank 3 (DE 8670) The following changes are included from previous kits. Mandatory security update. ECO FTP_V562P020, Rank 0 TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE - Corrects a problem with previous FTP patches placing TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB] instead of the correct location: SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]. ECO FTP_V553P071, Rank 3 (DE 8328) IMPORTANT NOTE: -- TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE provides the FTP client API. This problem must be corrected on any system that has applied any of the previous TCPware FTP patches. If this is not corrected, the old version of the API will remain behind on future upgrades and custom FTP API applications may reference the old API instead of the current one since SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB] is searched before SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]. -- This ECO kit will correct this problem by renaming the file TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB] left by previous patches to TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE_OLD and place the current version of the file in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]. -- As an alternative to applying this patch, you may correct this problem manually by issuing the following DCL commands: $ purge SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB]TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE $ rename SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB]TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE - SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]TCPWARE_FTPLIB_SHR.EXE FTP_LISTENER.EXE - Corrects some problems with "ALLOW host [mask]" and "DENY host [mask]" in FTP.CONF file. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8217) - In addition to the information about the FTP.CONF file found in Table 12-1 of the TCPware Management Guide (page 12-3), here are some tips on using the ALLOW and DENY features: o Keep the file short as each line in the file causes additional startup time for the server. o If the REJECT_BY_DEFAULT keyword is used in FTP.CONF, comment out any "DENY" line(s) that are redundant. o If using the "mask" option, comment out any duplicate "ALLOW" or "DENY" lines. For example: If you have a line "ALLOW 26.26.26.100 255.255.255.128", then you do not also need the line "ALLOW 26.26.26.x" in it (where x is 0 to 127) as the mask already covers that host. o Only printable characters are allowed in the REJECT_MESSAGE message and the message size must be less than 255 bytes. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 4 (DE 8217) - The FTP listener will no longer default to HIBERNATE when not active. To return to HIBERNATE as the default behavior, define the following logical prior to starting FTP: $ define/sys/exe TCPWARE_FTP_LISTENER_NO_HIBERNATE_OPTION NO ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 7837) - When TCPWARE_FTP_NOKEEPALIVES is defined the FTP server will not send keepalives on the control channel. ECO FTP_V553P040, Rank 3 (DE 6875) - Correct a problem with occasional ftp timeouts. If the symptom still presents after applying the patch, a new logical added in this patch should be used to get rid of the symptom. The logical can be defined as: $ define/system/exe TCPWARE_FTP_LISTENER_NO_HIBERNATE_OPTION TRUE ECO FTP_V553P020, Rank 3 (DE7038) FTP_SERVER.EXE - Corrects a problem with the "DIR" command returning the incorrect file size if greater than 2GB. ECO FTP_V562P010, Rank 3 (DE 8279). - Corrects a problem with the "DIR" command in Unix mode returning the incorrect file size if greater than 2GB. ECO FTP_V562P010, Rank 3 (DE 8382). - Updates code to make some error messages in the FTP server more accurate. ECO FTP_V562P010, Rank 3 (DE 8336) - Corrects an ACCVIO caused by using a file with no carriage returns for the TCPWARE_FTP_230_REPLY message. ECO FTP_V562P010, Rank 4 (DE 8237) - Corrects a problem with the PWD command returning an incorrect value if "< >" is used in the default login location in the UAF. ECO FTP_V562P010, Rank 4 (DE 7972) - Corrects a problem with 150 reply messages returning an incorrect value when in Unix mode and with "< >" as part of the default directory specification. ECO FTP_V562P010, Rank 4 (DE 8252) - Allows use of SRI encoding of Unix style file names on ODS-5 disks with the logical TCPWARE_FTP_USE_SRI_ENCODING_ON_ODS5. When this logical is defined to 1, TRUE or YES, the SRI file name encoding used for Unix style file names on ODS-2 disks will be used on ODS-5 disks. This also sets the default case of letters in filenames to lowercase and ignores the stored case. The following logicals should also be defined as follows: TCPWARE_FTP_DISALLOW_UNIX_STYLE FALSE TCPWARE_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_BY_DEFAULT TRUE TCPWARE_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE FALSE TCPWARE_FTP_USE_SRI_ENCODING_ON_ODS5 TRUE ECO FTP_V553P060, Rank 3 (DE 7844) - Corrects some errors in computation for the value returned by MDTM (modification time) for some files. ECO FTP_V553P060, Rank 3 (DE 7855) - The value of TCPWARE_FTP_UNIX_STYLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE is now observed. ECO FTP_V553P060, Rank 3 (DE 7860) - Corrects an ACCVIO that can occur when a file with multiple dots gets a "bad version number" error code. ECO FTP_V553P061, Rank 3 (DE 7912) - Corrects an ACCVIO that can occur when renaming a large group of files. ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 8000) - Corrects an issue where the LS command displays file names in uppercase. ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 8051) - Corrects a problem with using FTP's PUT command to transfer files from DOS/WINDOWS. ASCII mode causes the output files to be corrupted if the original file uses LF instead of CRLF to end the lines. ECO FTP_V553P050, Rank 2 (DE 7534) - Corrects a problem with the TCPWARE_FTP_SEMANTICS_VARIABLE_IGNORE_CC logical. ECO FTP_V553P050, Rank 3 (DE 7591) - Corrects a potential problem with padding the buffer on the last record of the transferred file. ECO FTP_V553P050, Rank 3 (DE 7756) - Adds a logical TCPWARE_FTP_DISALLOW_WILDCARD_DELETES. Define it to anything to disallow the functionality of accepting wildcards on delete. This may be done at the process, group or system level. (DE 7786) - When TCPWARE_FTP_NOKEEPALIVES is defined the FTP server will not send keepalives on the control channel. ECO FTP_V553P040, Rank 3 (DE 6875) - When the logical TCPWARE_FTP_ADD_CC_ON_FIXED_RECORD_FILES is defined to TRUE and a file is transferred as TYPE IMAGE the FTP server will separate the records of a fixed length record file with the linefeed character. This is useful to avoid the explicit conversion necessary when transferring the file to a non-VMS system with a FTP client that is not able to do record mode transfers. ECO FTP_V553P040, Rank 3 (DE 7272) - Corrects a problem where using put/mput to transfer ASCII files in VMS-PLUS mode causes the output files to contain hundreds of blank trailing spaces. The problem was introduced in patch kit FTP_V55P010. ECO FTP_V553P030, Rank 3 (DE 7318) - Corrects a problem with renaming a file to a destination name containing wildcards (for example rename t.tmp to *.ok). The file would be renamed but the connection was dropped. ECO FTP_V553P030, Rank 3 (DE 7164) - Corrects a problem where the last record is sometimes missing when an image file of fixed length record is transferred. ECO FTP_V553P030, Rank 3 (DE 7331) - Corrects a problem with writing out RECORD (STRU R) files. ECO FTP_V553P010, Rank 3 (DE 6983) - Fill in the resultant file name when an error status is returned due to unsupported I/O operations. (e.g. attempting to RETR a a directory when in Unix mode) ECO FTP_V553P010, Rank 3 (DE 6987) FTP.EXE - Files are once again transferred in alphabetical order. A fix in FTP_V533P062 had caused transfers to occur in reverse alphabetical order although the final outcome was unchanged. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8179) - Corrects an issue with unusually long reply messages causing the TCPware FTP client to hang. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8010) - The TCPware FTP client will no longer insert a carriage return when processing long reply messages from the server. The old behavior was inserting a carriage return every 132 characters. ECO FTP_V553P070, Rank 3 (DE 8010) - Corrects a problem where GET or MGET may fail when there is more than one "." in the file name and the local system is running VMS 7.2-1 or later and the current directory is on an ODS2 disk device. ECO FTP_V553P062, Rank 3 (DE 7915) - Corrects a problem where MGET and MPUT did not preserve the version number order of the transferred files.
