Aruba Advisory ID: AID-020810 TLS Protocol Session Renegotiation Security Vulnerability

SUMMARY

This advisory addresses the renegotiation related vulnerability
disclosed recently in Transport Layer Security protocol [1][2]. This
vulnerability may allow a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacker to inject
arbitrary data into the beginning of the application protocol stream
protected by TLS.

The only ArubaOS component that seems affected by this issue is the
HTTPS WebUI administration interface. If a client browser (victim) is

n.runs-SA-2011.004 - web programming languages and platforms - DoS through hash table

___________________________________________________________________________
Overview:

Hash tables are a commonly used data structure in most programming
languages. Web application servers or platforms commonly parse
attacker-controlled POST form data into hash tables automatically, so
that they can be accessed by application developers.

If the language does not provide a randomized hash function or the
application server does not recognize attacks using multi-collisions, an
attacker can degenerate the hash table by sending lots of colliding

Cisco Security Advisory: IronPort Encryption Appliance / PostX and PXE Encryption Vulnerabilities

+-------------------------------------

The IronPort PXE Encryption solution is affected by two
vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized individuals to view the
contents of secure e-mail messages. To exploit the vulnerabilities,
attackers must first intercept secure e-mail messages on the network
or via a compromised e-mail account.

Details follow:

USN-957-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox and Xulrunner. Daniel Holbert
discovered that the fix for CVE-2010-1214 introduced a regression which did
not properly initialize a plugin pointer. If a user were tricked into
viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could use this to crash the
browser or run arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.

Cisco Security Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco TelePresence Manager

SOAP Authentication Bypass
+-------------------------

An authentication bypass vulnerability exists that could allow a
remote, unauthenticated attacker to invoke arbitrary methods that are
available via the SOAP interface on the Cisco TelePresence Manager.
The attacker would need the ability to submit a malformed SOAP
request that is designed to trigger the vulnerability to the affected
device on TCP port 8080 or 8443.

VMSA-2010-0007 VMware hosted products, vCenter Server and ESX patches resolve multiple security issues

    A vulnerability in the way VMware libraries are referenced allows
    for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user.
    This vulnerability is present only on Windows Guest Operating
    Systems.

    In order for an attacker to exploit the vulnerability, the attacker
    would need to lure the user that is logged on a Windows Guest
    Operating System to click on the attacker's file on a network
    share. This file could be in any file format. The attacker will
    need to have the ability to host their malicious files on a
    network share.

Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability in iTunes for Windows

Status: Published

============
Introduction

This paper discusses how an unprivileged local attacker can elevate their
privileges during an initial installation or update of iTunes for Windows. This
vulnerability was responsibly disclosed to Apple Inc. and this advisory was not
released until a fixed build of iTunes was released.

SQL-Ledger =?utf-8?Q?=E2=80=93_severa?= =?utf-8?Q?l?= vulnerabilities

* No Cross-Site-Request-Forgery (XSRF) protection (CVE-2009-3580)

The forms in SQL-Ledger are not protected against XSRF. They include the username
in the hidden field »login«, though, which has to be specified correctly. An
attacker is thus required to know the login name – it can be guessed, brute-forced
or retrieved using a Cross-Site-Scripting attack, though.

An example attack would be to send the following link to the user which unknowningly
changes his password to the application. Given network access to SQL-Ledger, the
attacker could then use the application with the user's account and the newly set

Re: [Full-disclosure] [ISecAuditors Security Advisories] Gmail vulnerable to automated password cracking

As you comment, using this feature exist a lock (for 2 hours) for
authentication attempts, and beyond this limit (100 requests) the
message returned by the application does not allow to known if the
analyzed password is correct or not. However, every 2 hours an attacker
could make 100 authentication attempts.

To overcome this limit (100 authentication attempts), it is sufficient
that the attacker has other Gmail accounts. Each account allows the
malicious user to make 100 new auhtentication attempts within 2 hours of

Positron Security Advisory #2009-000: Multiple Vulnerabilities in MapServer v5.2.1 and v4.10.3

Because the ECX register can be controlled (0x47 is the ASCII code for
the letter "G"), the attacker can control the ESP register through the
"lea 0xfffffffc(%ecx),%esp" instruction at 0x0804fdc7.  The attacker can
execute code in mapserv's process space by setting the ESP register to
an address that holds a reference to code and letting the "ret"
instruction execute at 0x0804fdca; this will assign the EIP register an
attacker-supplied value.
