It appears there is a looping symlink in the centos/4 directory, as shown here: # ls -l /mirror/centos/4/HEADER.images/ total 24 -rw-rw-r-- 2 distro distro 4734 Apr 19 22:00 centos_icon_60.png -rw-rw-r-- 2 distro distro 14815 Apr 19 22:00 centos_logo_45.png lrwxrwxrwx 1 distro distro 14 Sep 27 22:01 HEADER.html -> ../HEADER.html lrwxrwxrwx 1 distro distro 16 Sep 27 22:01 HEADER.images -> ../HEADER.images You can see this on other mirrors as well: http://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4/HEADER.images/HEADER.images/HEADER.images/ -Doug -- Douglas E.

Halted Web Server Compromise
by Shawn M. Jones 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

I discovered this morning that SELinux had stopped a user from executing commands through my apache web server. He was using a vulnerability in php-pear to get in, which I had patched a few months ago. Unfortunately, I had foolishly not restarted the apache service after the patch, so he started adding interesting scripts to my temp directories. I'm going to perform a partial rebuild of the server. By what I can tell, he was not able to leave his SELinux jail and execute any programs. I've used rpm to validate the MD5 checksums of all package files and verified that the only ones that came back were ones that I had modified. As he was restricted to executing everything as the apache user with a security context of root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t, he was not able to start any of the back doors or IRC bots that he had placed on the system, but I am concerned about the content accessible to httpd_sys_script_t, so I'm going to remove all web server related material and restore it from backups. What I did not back up was the mirror of CentOS, which I need to rebuild as a precautionary measure. I'm currently removing alias to the CentOS mirror on the server. Please remove me from the CentOS mirrors page until I get the system rebuilt. Sorry for the inconvenience. Sincerely, Shawn M. Jones Admin of the LittleProjects.org site in VA, USA

using the --delay-update switch in rsync >= 2.6.4
by Johnny Hughes 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

We have upgraded the rsync used on the centos mirrors to a version >= 2.6.4 so that we can use the --delay-updates flag for rsyncing. This flag (if you have rsync >= 2.6.4) will download all the updates, then move them into place ... so for items like yum repos, there is a much shorter time that the repo is not usable during long updates. If you have rsync >= 2.6.4, we recommend you use this switch for CentOS rsyncs. See the below e-mail for info: > > >> While a CVS commit is in progress, for instance, other users still see the previous > > >> state; this is not true for a YUM repository. > > > > >> Hmm.

If you want to create a lock file without a race condition, you could use the 'lockfile' command. The man page even shows simple example quasi-script. -- Dave Thompson ( thomas (at) cs.wisc.edu ) Associate Researcher Department of Computer Science University of Wisconsin-Madison http://www.cs.wisc.edu/(twiddle)thomas 1210 West Dayton Street Madison, WI 53706-1685 -- ------- End of Forwarded Message
