At long last -- Extra Outlooks!

only saw one instance of the .exe running. The first thing I thought was
"Voodoo!!" I then said to myself, "Self, even though you launched it in
a completely different user context, it hopped out of that user's space
and hijacked your concurrent logon's files! WTF?" 

During last year's Microsoft Ninjitsu training at Black Hat Vegas, I
brought it up to my class and we all concurred that voodoo was afoot -
even some Microsoft guys (who shall remain nameless) thought so and told
me to STFU and to contact MSRC before talking about it anymore since it
looked like Outlook was actually crossing user context borders.
True to "responsible disclosure," I called upon the skillz of Jason

We will also release a whitepaper on a variant of the new DNS poisoning

talk :)

Advisory 02/2009: PHPIDS Unserialize() Vulnerability

  crash the PHP interpreter or to utilize existing classes for attacks.

  In combination with the classes available in the Zend Framework this
  results in file upload and PHP code execution vulnerabilities. Taken
  in consideration the research in interruption vulnerability exploits
  that was demonstrated by SektionEins at Syscan and Blackhat this
  vulnerability has to be considered an arbitrary code execution
  vulnerability.

Sophos Antivirus Review

List, I've prepared a paper to accompany a presentation at
blackhat las vegas discussing Sophos Antivirus design. It might be of
interest to those evaluating or deploying Sophos Antivirus.

I've also created some tools to help understand and dump Sophos
signature files, which I'll release soon.

My impression of Sophos technology is not positive, however Sophos have

(TAD-2011-001) Vulnerability in HTC Peep: Twitter Credentials Disclosure

Coincidentally, the discovery of these vulnerabilities was aligned with Twitter's announcement to increase the security of third-party apps: "Starting August 31, all applications will be required to use “OAuth” to access your Twitter account". This service switch didn't make any difference regarding this vulnerability, as HTC Peep still works through its OAuth capabilities. However, as this advisory demonstrate, technology must be implemented properly. Historically, Twitter developers have been able to choose one of two authentication methods: Basic Authentication or OAuth. Somehow, HTC Peep is using both methods simultaneously, exposing the user credentials.

Modern mobile devices implement multiple communication technologies, such as IrDa, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and mobile (2G/3G). The last two, Wi-Fi and 2G/3G, are the most commonly used methods to establish data communications from the mobile device to other entities. Therefore, this vulnerability can be exploited on targeted attacks when the mobile device is using any of these two technologies:
        • Wi-Fi: When the mobile device connects to a Wi-Fi (802.11) network, an attacker can intercept all your web traffic if it is an open or WEP Wi-Fi network. If the network is based on WPA(2)-PSK, any user with access to that network can also collect all your traffic. You can protect your Wi-Fi data communications if you only connect to WPA2-Enterprise Wi-Fi networks (or, potentially, if you thoroughly make use of VPN technologies). Unfortunately, even when your device is not connected to any Wi-Fi network, still this vulnerability can be exploited in combination with other vulnerabilities, such as Karma-like attacks. See "TAD-2010-003: Full 802.11 Preferred Network List (PNL) disclosure in Windows Mobile 6.5".
        • 2G/3G: When the mobile device connects to a mobile network (2G or 2.5G: GPRS or EDGE) an attacker can intercept all your web traffic. You can protect your mobile data communications if you only connect to +3G data networks. For more information see the "GPRS/EDGE Security" blog post and the recent "A practical attack against GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA mobile data communications" BlackHat DC 2011 Taddong presentation, by David and Jose.

Independently of the data network access used by the mobile device, at some point the web traffic will enter on the public Internet in the clear (unencrypted), where it can be intercepted by anyone with access to capture the traffic on any of the intermediate network segments between the mobile device and Twitter.

The fact that Twitter credentials can be easily eavesdropped has a pretty significant impact, as most users assume other users credentials have not been hijacked, therefore, they blindly trust tweets (or microblog/blog posts) coming from trusted parties (their friends, people they frequently follow, public personalities...). Twitter account hijacking can be used for web-based & client-based targeted attacks (specially through the use of short URLs), and can cause a significant damage to the image and credibility of the victim user. 


[SECURITY] [DSA 1852-1] New fetchmail packages fix SSL certificate verification weakness

Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2009-2666

It was discovered that fetchmail, a full-featured remote mail retrieval
and forwarding utility, is vulnerable to the "Null Prefix Attacks Against
SSL/TLS Certificates" recently published at the Blackhat conference.
This allows an attacker to perform undetected man-in-the-middle attacks
via a crafted ITU-T X.509 certificate with an injected null byte in the
subjectAltName or Common Name fields.

Note, as a fetchmail user you should always use strict certificate

IRM Demonstrates Multiple Cisco IOS Exploitation Techniques

In August 2005 at Black Hat Las Vegas, Michael Lynn delivered his
infamous presentation entitled "Cisco IOS Shellcode and Exploitation
Techniques". For the first time ever, remote exploitation of Cisco IOS
was publicly demonstrated using shellcode that spawned a connect-back or
"reverse" shell. His shellcode was never released outside Cisco.

Over the last few months IRM have been researching the security of Cisco
IOS which has resulted in the discovery of a series of serious security
vulnerabilities (including three new stack overflows). Advisories and
associated IOS patches will be released over the coming months, starting

BH/DC: Tactical Exploitation Materials

At Black Hat 2007 and Defcon 15, Valsmith and I gave a talk 
entitled "Tactical Exploitation". This talk introduced a tactical 
approach to penetration testing that does not rely on exploiting known 
vulnerabilities. During the talk, we used a combination of new tools and 
lesser-known techniques to walk through the process of compromising a 
target network. The materials for this talk are now online, including the 
slides, white paper, and videos. These materials can be found online at:

Advisory 03/2009: Piwik Cookie unserialize() Vulnerability

  within the webserver's document root which usually exist in a
  standard Piwik installation. In newer versions of Piwik it is
  also possible to execute arbitrary PHP code directly.

  Combined with the interruption vulnerability exploits demonstrated
  by SektionEins at Syscan and Blackhat it is possible to disable
  all internal PHP security protections and execute arbitrary code
  e.g. local kernel exploits to become root.

"Writing JIT-Spray Shellcode for fun and profit" by DSecRG

for clients and here have been and are still many vulnerabilities.
Vendors make steps to defend us from it. Software vendors patch vulnerabilities and OS vendors
use new mechanisms to prevent attacks at all. But security researchers are trying to find way to bypass these mechanisms.
The new versions of browsers (Internet Explorer 8 and FireFox 3.5) use permanent DEP.
And the new versions of OS use the ASLR mechanism. All this makes the old methods of attacks impossible.
But on BlackHat DC 2010 the interesting way to bypass DEP and ASLR in browsers (not only)
and Just-In-Time compilers was presented. This method is called JIT-SPRAY. But here was no one public PoC until now.

In this text we are describe how to write a shellcode for new JIT-Spray attacks and make universal STAGE 0 shellcode
that gives control to any common shellcode from MetaSploit, for example.

        It's not about OpenBSD on sparc - the OpenBSD people don't
really care - the fact that it's possible at all means anyone with
clue and a less than black hat can go take an OpenBSD kernel, figure
out what it's doing there, and likely make a solaris kernel module
to do the same thing - then they have a nice little tool. This indicates
that something is broken, and can likely be taken advantage of.

        Frankly, the OpenBSD people aren't going to bother doing it.
