Sun Grid Engine (SGE) 5.3 software may be vulnerable ...

1. Impact

Sun Linux systems and Solaris 8 and 9 systems which run Sun Grid Engine (SGE) 5.3 software may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks, service interruptions, and in some cases a local or remote unprivileged user may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the OpenSSL process, typically root, due to security vulnerabilities found in OpenSSL.

OpenSSL is an open source toolkit that implements Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols, as well as a general purpose cryptography library.

There are multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.7c and 0.9.6k, as described in the following CERT Vulnerabilities:

• VU#935264 (see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/935264)
• VU#255484 (see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/255484)
• VU#380864 (see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/380864)
• VU#686224 (see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/686224)
• VU#732952 (see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/732952)
• VU#104280 (see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/104280)

which are referenced in CERT Advisory CA-2003-26 at: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-26.html

2. Contributing Factors

This issue can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• Sun Grid Engine 5.3 (32-bit Solaris) without patch 113139-05
• Sun Grid Engine 5.3 (64-bit Solaris) without patch 113140-05
• Sun Grid Engine 5.3 (32-bit Solaris) NON-Solaris Package format without patch 113855-04
• Sun Grid Engine 5.3 (64-bit Solaris) NON-Solaris Package format without patch 113856-04

x86 Platform

• Sun Grid Engine 5.3 without patch 116658-01
• Sun Grid Engine 5.3 NON-Solaris Package format without patch 116659-01

Sun Linux Platform

• Sun Grid Engine 5.3 without patch 113900-03

To determine the version of Sun Grid Engine, run the following command:

    $ <SGE_ROOT>/bin/<architecture>/sge_commd -V

where <architecture> is either "solaris" or "solaris64" as in the following example:

    $ <SGE_ROOT>/bin/solaris64/sge_commd -V
SGE 5.3p4

To determine the OpenSSL package version, run the following command:

    $ <SGE_ROOT>/utilbin/solaris64/openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 200

3. Symptoms

There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the above described issues have been exploited.

4. Workaround
