Subject: Vulnerability in Sawmill for Solaris v. 6.2.14
Author: darky0da <darky0da () hushmail com>
Discovered: 2.8.02
Announced to BugTraq: 2.11.02
Vendor Status: Vendor notified on 2.9.02 and verified issue.
Upgrade v. 6.2.15 released on 2.10.02
Platform(s) Tested: Solaris 2.8; may also include other UNIX
versions
Product Homepage: http://www.sawmill.net

Problem / Exploit: When the Sawmill executable is launched and the user enters
an initial password,the password is saved in file AdminPassword. This file
is created mode 0666 (world read/writeable permissions).

This happens regardless of the password_file_permissions setting in file
DefaultConfig, which is by default set to mode 0600. I have tried
this with user and root privileges and it occurs in each instance.

The default path to file AdminPassword is accessible to users.
The LogAnalysisInfo directory is created mode 0755.

The contents of the AdminPassword file are MD5'ed. It is trivial to
overwrite this value with a password of my choosing:

"rm AdminPassword; echo mypasswd | perl -p -e 'chomp' | md5sum | \
| sed 's/  -//' | perl -p -e 'chomp' > AdminPassword"

I have tested the above thoroughly and it works quite well, allowing me
access to all parts of the Sawmill pages.

Solution: Upgrade to version 6.2.15;
chmod 600 AdminPassword
