-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 All DIAL users, The AllStarLink administrative team has identified a vulnerability in DIAL. These details are available in a separate notice. In part to mitigate this, we have identified a way to fix this via the well known user account. We propose to to script and execute code which should fix this issue on any nodes connected to the ASL network. What will this script do? This script will disable all the "pi" and "debian" users, killall process running by these users and then logout of the node. Once this is complete ASL will no longer have remote access to the node. What if I don't want this done to my node? Change the login or restrict login via ssh for the pi and debian users. You may also email the admin team with your node numbers to opt-out. Why is the admin team taking these actions? Why not allow people to fix their own nodes? The admin team believes most users of DIAL are generally radio users first, and Linux administrators second. Many may not know what issues this can cause on their system and the admin team believes this will mitigate any problems end users may have mitigating this on their own. Any user is free to opt-out and respond to this issue in their own way if they so choose. What if I'm running ACID? ACID is unsupported and quite outdated. We encourage all ACID users to migrate to DIAL. What if I'm using another distribution or have compiled AllStar from source? It's likely you're unaffected and have the skills to maintain your node securely on your own. What if my box is compromised? If your node is compromised we suggest a complete re-install. From the exploits we have seen in the wild, none have root or done anything other than scanning/bitcoin mining. We have see the attackers download the asterisk config files so it would be wise to change any passwords you may have. We suspect this is looking to exploit SIP call termination for profit. What if I have questions not answered here? Please post them to the AllStarLink mailing list. Note: you must be subscribed to post. http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users When will this action take place? The ASL admin team is expecting to do this at 0000 UTC June 10, 2017 Status of this Notice This notice provides information for the community. Distribution of this notice is unlimited.
