Multiple vulnerabilities in SUPERAntiSpyware and Super Ad Blocker

---------------

SUPERAntiSpyware and Super Ad Blocker have almost identical device
drivers in order to set up hooks and perform other duties from kernel
space. These device drivers suffer from lack of validation of
parameters passed from user mode. Additionally, some of the functions
accessible from user mode are inherently insecure and lead to easy
privilege escalation. All vulnerabilities are applicable to both
applications.

Analysis and code was developed for SUPERAntiSpyware v4.33.1000, but

Cisco Security Advisory: Default Credentials for Root Account on Tandberg E, EX and C Series Endpoints

This vulnerability affects Tandberg C Series Endpoints and E/EX
Personal Video units, including software that is running on the C20,
C40, C60, C90, E20, EX60, and EX90 codecs. The software version of
the Tandberg unit can be determined by logging into the web-based
user interface (UI) or using the "xStatus SystemUnit" command.

Users can determine the Tandberg software version by entering the IP
address of the codec in a web browser, authenticating (if the device
is configured for authentication), and then selecting the "system

Fraunhofer SIT advises to use SQL-Ledger only in non-critical application
scenarios with low security requirements. Furthermore, risk mitigation in
the form of the following measures should be undertaken:

- Users shall be advised to use a seperate browser or browser profile
  solely to access SQL-Ledger to counter XSRF attacks.
- Untrusted users should be given read-only access to the database to prevent
  damage from SQL injection attacks.
- The server administrator shall restrict file creation rights on the

[PT-2011-04] Cross-Site Scripting in Kayako Support Suite

---[ Vulnerability description ]

Positive Research Center has discovered multiple XSS vulnerabilties in Kayako Support Suite.

Application insufficiently verifies subscriberdata incoming parameter in /staff/index.php?_m=news&_a=importexport script. 
An attacker with "staff" privileges can use the vulnerabilty to inject and execute arbitrary HTML code and scripts in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server. 
To use the vulnerability an attacker should convince a user with "staff" privileges to open URL like:
 http://example.com/support/staff/index.php?_m=news&_a=managesubscribers&importsub=1&resultdata=YTo0OntzOjEzOiJzdWNjZXNzZW1haWxzIjtpOjA7czoxMjoiZmFpbGVkZW1haWxzIjtpOjE7czoxMToidG90YWxlbWFpbHMiO2k6MTtzOjk6ImVtYWlsbGlzdCI7czo5MDoiPHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgneHNzJyk8L3NjcmlwdD5APHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgneHNzJyk8L3NjcmlwdD4uPHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgneHNzJyk8L3NjcmlwdD4gIjt9
