[ GLSA 200711-23 ] VMware Workstation and Player: Multiple vulnerabilities

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in several VMware
products. Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith (IBM ISS X-Force) discovered that
the DHCP server contains an integer overflow vulnerability
(CVE-2007-0062), an integer underflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0063) and
another error when handling malformed packets (CVE-2007-0061), leading
to stack-based buffer overflows or stack corruption. Rafal Wojtczvk
(McAfee) discovered two unspecified errors that allow authenticated
users with administrative or login privileges on a guest operating

CORE-2009-0820 - Dnsmasq Heap Overflow and Null-pointer Dereference on TFTP Server

CVE Name: CVE-2009-2957, CVE-2009-2958


3. *Vulnerability Description*

Dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS forwarder and DHCP server. A vulnerability
has been found that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on
servers or home routers running dnsmasq[1] with the TFTP service[2][3]
enabled ('--enable-tfp'). This service is not enabled by default on most
distributions; in particular it is not enabled by default on OpenWRT or
DD-WRT. Chances of successful exploitation increase when a long

[USN-1107-1] x11-xserver-utils vulnerability

Details follow:

Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the xrdb utility incorrectly filtered
crafted hostnames. An attacker could use this flaw with a malicious
DHCP server or with a remote xdmcp login and execute arbitrary code,
resulting in root privilege escalation.

P.S.Ziegler yet. (He might or might not be aware of these facts).

If the report is right and logs recoriding you connecting and obtaining an IP 
address are a concern then you should be terrified already. I suspect that I 
could reconstruct much of what you did online given access to all the 
asssociated logs. Getting an IP address from a DHCP server and using almost 
any other service whatsoever usually generates at least an IP address and 
timestamp. Bind 9 has logs, and they are on by default, so big brother might 
be able to deduce a lot just using your ISP's DNS logs.

When I say that I got this spam from IP address X at time Y, and give full

[USN-543-1] VMWare vulnerabilities

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith discovered that the VMWare Player DHCP server
did not correctly handle certain packet structures.  Remote attackers
could send specially crafted packets and gain root privileges.

[SECURITY] [DSA 2213-1] x11-xserver-utils security update

Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the xrdb utility of x11-xserver-utils,
a X server resource database utility, is not properly filtering crafted
hostnames.  This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with
root privileges given that either remote logins via xdmcp are allowed or
the attacker is able to place a rogue DHCP server into the victims network.


The oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 7.3+6.

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in xrdb:
 
 xrdb.c in xrdb before 1.0.9 in X.Org X11R7.6 and earlier allows remote
 attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a
 hostname obtained from a (1) DHCP or (2) XDMCP message (CVE-2011-0465).

The Router Hacking Challenge is Over!

* xss (cross-site scripting)
* call-jacking - like making your phone dial numbers or even survey
room's sound where the phone resides
* obfuscation/encryption deficiencies
* UPnP, DHCP and mDNS problems - although not officially reported,
most devices are affected
* SNMP injection attacks due to poor SNMP creds.
* memory overwrites - well it is possible to overwrite the admin
password while being in memory and therefore be able to login as admin
* stealing config files

simple dns rebinding protection with dnsmasq

dnsmasq (http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) a popular DHCP
and DNS forwarder and cache server used on many DSL/Cable routers now
has a simple DNS Rebinding protection mechanism. When executed with the
--stop-dns-rebind option the DNS resolver in dnsmasq will filter out
private IP addresses (127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8,
172.16.0.0/12 and 169.254.0.0/16). This should be sufficient for most
private/home users.

Feedback welcome.


CORE-2008-0320 - Insufficient argument validation of hooked SSDT functions on multiple Antivirus and Firewalls

commonly used by viruses as added feature, when the specific AV is
detected on the infected machine, crashing the system just to annoy. Or
by a human attacker, after a succesful remote intrusion with
unprivileged credentials to make a computer resource unavailable to its
intended users. Besides, this could be a very valuable resource when
trying to fake some service that answers broadcasts request like a DHCP,
allowing to start the service in another location replacing the original
one.

Netgear DG632 Router Remote DoS Vulnerability

inaccessible
until the router is physically restarted.

While the router will still continue to function at the network level, i.e. 
it will
still respond to ICMP echo requests and issue leases via DHCP, an 
administrator will
no longer be able to interact with the administrative web interface.

This attack can be carried out internally within the network, or over the 
Internet

Re: Improper Authentication Mechanism in 3Com Wireless8760 Dual Radio 11a/b/g Poe Access Point

Hi Yossi,

Are you doing something funky with your IP address, e.g., NAT'ed/short DHCP
lease?  The reason I ask is because in 2008, Adrian Pastor stated
authentication in the 3Com Wireless 8760 was linked to the source IP
address [1].  It may well be the case (as you have discovered) that it
allows arbitrary IP addresses to access the config once an administrator
has authentication... However, I just wanted to hit this badboy up incase
there was some confusion.

Hello,

I've been playing with DHCPd bug in *Ubuntu Linux*. According to the

possibility of using it to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems was
not investigated in-depth and should not be disregarded"):
