Pandora FMS Authentication Bypass and Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

UNC: http://servername/pandora_console/ajax.php?page=//server/share/test

As well, ajax.php allows to include any php file in the disk

filesystem:
http://servername/pandora_console/ajax.php?page=../../../../../directory/file

Character %00 is not allowed due safe_url_extraclean function filtering,
and is not possible to include other files distinct that php files, but
still allows . and / characters.

n.runs-SA-2010.003 - Hewlett Packard LaserJet MFP devices - Directory Traversal in PJL interface

The Printer Job Language (PJL) was developed by Hewlett-Packard to
provide a method for switching printer languages at the job level
and for status exchange between the device and a host computer.
Besides the possibility to view and change parts of the printer's
configuration or modify control panel messages PJL allows some limited
form of file system access. PJL is used "above" other printer languages
such as PCL and is usually accessible on port 9100. Detailed
information about PJL can be found in the PJL Technical Reference
Manual [1].

Re: Remote Cisco IOS FTP exploit

Here is the section:

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow unauthorized,
remote users to access the filesystem on the IOS device, cause the
affected device to reload, or execute arbitrary code.

Unauthorized users could retrieve the device's startup-config file from
the filesystem. This file may contain information that could allow the
attacker to gain escalated privileges.

[RISE-2009002] Linux eCryptfs parse_tag_11_packet Literal Data Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Updated: July 28, 2009

INTRODUCTION

There exists a vulnerability within a function of Linux eCryptfs (Enterprise
Cryptographic Filesystem), which when properly exploited can lead to
compromise of the vulnerable system. This vulnerability was confirmed by us in
the Linux kernel version 2.6.30.3. Linux kernel versions 2.6.19 and later have
eCryptfs support and may be also affected.

SUMMARY

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Secure Copy Authorization Bypass Vulnerability

The server side of the Secure Copy (SCP) implementation in Cisco
Internetwork Operating System (IOS) contains a vulnerability that
allows any valid user, regardless of privilege level, to transfer files
to and from an IOS device that is configured to be a Secure Copy
server. This vulnerability could allow valid users to retrieve or write
to any file on the device's filesystem, including the device's saved
configuration. This configuration file may include passwords or other
sensitive information.

The IOS Secure Copy Server is an optional service that is disabled by
default. Devices that are not specifically configured to enable the IOS

FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-09:14.devfs

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.

I.   Background

The device file system (devfs) provides access to system devices, such as
storage devices and serial ports, via the file system namespace.

VFS is the Virtual File System, which abstracts file system operations in
the kernel from the actual underlying file system.


[SECURITY] [DSA 1787-1] New Linux 2.6.24 packages fix several vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2008-4307

    Bryn M. Reeves reported a denial of service in the NFS filesystem.
    Local users can trigger a kernel BUG() due to a race condition in
    the do_setlk function.

Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-2232
Debian Bug     : 490921

Anders Kaseorg discovered that afuse, an automounting file system
in user-space, did not properly escape meta characters in paths.
This allowed a local attacker with read access to the filesystem to
execute commands as the owner of the filesystem.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in

[ MDVSA-2008:009-1 ] - Updated autofs packages fix insecure hosts configuration

 Problem Description:
 
 The default behaviour of autofs 5 for the hosts map did not specify the
 nosuid and nodev mount options.  This could allow a local user with
 control of a remote NFS server to create a setuid root executable on
 the exported filesystem of the remote NFS server.  If this filesystem
 was mounted with the default hosts map, it would allow the user to
 obtain root privileges (CVE-2007-5964).  Likewise, the same scenario
 would be available for local users able to create device files on
 the exported filesystem which could allow the user to gain access to
 important system devices (CVE-2007-6285).

NOPE. There _NEVER_ was such a promise.

TWSL2010-003: Unauthorized access to root NFS export on EMC Celerra NAS appliance

Credit: Steve Ocepek of Trustwave's SpiderLabs

CVE: CVE-2010-2860

Finding:
The Celerra appliance's NFS server freely exports its "/" file system and
enforces access using a factory-defined list of authorized IP addresses.
The addresses found on a recent model are listed in the showmount example
below, however this list may differ depending on product version. The IP
addresses are intended for communication internal to the appliance, but are
still accepted from external sources. An attacker can mount this file system

On line 494, snprintf is called to generate the output for the proc file
system entry. By supplying a count value of 1, snprintf will only write
a single byte to the destination buffer. However, the function will
return the number of bytes that would have been written if enough space
were available. The "*eof" value is never set, and the "*ppos" value is
never used.

Description:
    Previous versions of the e2fsprogs package are vulnerable to multiple
    integer overflows that may be exploited by crafted filesystem images.
    In particular, this may allow a user with elevated privileges in a
    Xen guest domain to execute arbitrary code as root in domain 0 via
    a maliciously crafted filesystem image if e2fsck is run in domain 0
    on the guest-domain filesystem.


SEC Consult SA-20101021-0 :: Multiple critical vulnerabilities in Sawmill log analysis software

Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
Sawmill suffers from multiple critical vulnerabilities which allow an
_unauthenticated_ attacker to gain administrative rights. Furthermore
it is possible to access (RW) the file system and execute arbitrary
commands on the operating system without authentication.

Attackers with valid accounts are able to reset the root password or
add/delete log profiles, view and manipulate admin settings etc.

privileged user on the web administration interface) to retrieve files from the
filesystem which are readable by the "nobody" system user.

 on the host OS via a crafted application. (CVE-2009-3722)
 
 The ext4_decode_error function in fs/ext4/super.c in the ext4
 filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32 allows user-assisted

The GNU C library dynamic linker expands $ORIGIN in setuid library search path

mode that allows a high degree of control over the load operation, and a secure
mode (libc_enable_secure) intended to prevent users from interfering with the
loading of privileged executables.

$ORIGIN is an ELF substitution sequence representing the location of the
executable being loaded in the filesystem hierarchy. The intention is to allow
executables to specify a search path for libraries that is relative to their
location, to simplify packaging without spamming the standard search paths with
single-use libraries.

Note that despite the confusing naming convention, $ORIGIN is specified in a
