Re: Microsoft DNS patch KB951748 incompatible with Zonealarm

A customer service message from ZoneAlarm …

On Tuesday, Microsoft rolled out an automatic update to all of their users.  Unfortunately, this cut off Internet access for anyone on Windows XP or Windows 2000 using the ZoneAlarm firewall.  This is the #1 free firewall in the world, and is also included in other security products sold by ZoneAlarm.

Linksys WRT54 GL - Session riding (CSRF)

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

The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.


Security Risk
=============
Linksys WRT54GL is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability. Reportedly, the device permits changes in its configuration settings without requring authentication (CSRF).

Security flaw in Airtel DSL modems

5. Once an attacker has access to a modem (through telnet and/or a firmware update), he/she can launch the following attacks and/or more:
 * use MITM attacks to capture encrypted data, including passwords, credit-card numbers and other confidential data
 * inject malicious content into the network stream which can hijack the user's system [viruses, trojans, malware, bots]
 * sniff, tap and monitor the network user and his/her actions online
 * redirect user's traffic and subject the user to SPAM, Ads, or use DNS poisoning in inventive ways
 * generate network traffic to launch DDoS attacks - effectively hijacking the user's internet connection and making them zombie bots
 * redirect nefarious network activities through hijacked modems to make it difficult/impossible to track the attack source/origin, and carry out illegal activities. In such cases, the blame might go to an innocent Airtel subscriber as his/her IP would apparently be the source of the illegal activity.

There is no limit to the creativity of attackers once a vulnerability is available, so these are just my guesses. There may be other attacks
possible. I believe, the ones I have listed are bad enough.


Re: facebook 'routing flaw'?

There is a fairly in depth discussion of the issue here:

http://arstechnica.com/web/news/2010/01/facebook-att-play-fast-and-loose-with-user-authentication.ars

Not a routing issue, more of a proxy issue, and not uncommon in mobile carrier networks. Getting security right in a mobile application is tricky given how carriers manage Internet access. With the growth of smartphones these kinds of issues will become more prevalent until carriers refactor how they manage traffic via their proxy's. I'll also note that while the referenced article suggests the use of SSL, there are issues with support in the mobile environment for SSL in terms of which certificate authorities are pre-installed on phones, whether applications have access to the certificate store on the mobile device (or need an embedded certificate), how certificate chaining and wildcarding is supported, and so on.

Hacking Coffee Makers.

Hi All,
I have a Jura F90 Coffee maker with the Jura Internet Connection Kit. The idea is to:

"Enable the Jura Impressa F90 to communicate with the Internet, via a PC.
Download parameters to configure your espresso machine to your own personal taste.
If there's a problem, the engineers can run diagnostic tests and advise on the solution without your machine ever leaving the kitchen."

Guess what - it can not be patched as far as I can tell ;) It also has a few software vulnerabilities.

Information Leakage and Full path disclosure vulnerabilities in WordPress

So in common case, when name of database, prefix and date are known, it'll
have to do up to 1048576 combinations (folder) + up to 1000 combinations
(file) = up to 1049576 combinations (full path to the file). On average it's
524788 combinations, which can be picked up quickly enough with fast

Hello,


Huawei HG510 is a device offered by the Serbian telecom operator, to provide ADSL Internet connection.
Administration of settings on this device is allowed only from local LAN network but not only from
private IP address (eg 192.168.1.1) then You can access with public IP address (only from local LAN again).

There is no CSRF protection so we can create malicious web pages and create some CSRF attacks.
Is user is logged on his device we can change passwords or some another settings.

Q2 Solutions ConnX - SQL Injection Vulnerability

Recommendation:

 Vendor refused to comment on whether they would develop a patch or even notify
 existing client base.

 Workaround: Remove ConnX server from public Internet access and protect behind
 corporate firewalls, SSL-VPN, web application firewall etc.

Proviso SiteKiosk File Download Vulnerability

[>>] Proviso SiteKiosk File Download Vulnerability [<<]


[x] Vendor Information:

"SiteKiosk is a software for public access internet terminals and lets you turn any computer into a secure multilanguage Internet terminal (already 20 different languages included), allowing the user to access the Internet but protecting the underlying operating system and files. Possible uses include presentations, exhibitions, libraries, and more. SiteKiosk works with normal displays and Touchscreens. A keyboard doesn't even have to be attached -- text can be entered via a keypad with a mouse. Plentiful options let you decide the amount of security your kiosk needs, from hard-disk protection to prohibiting specific Websites. The program can be used with either a direct network connection or Dial-Up Networking, providing Internet access "on demand." Other features include multiple-window support, automatic shutdown/restart, Shell-Replacement, hard-disk protection, thorough event-logging support, Log-Out Button, content-advisor, great website filtering (with automatic update)
  , an easy-to-use configuration wizard, and more. SiteKiosk supports different payment methods like coin machines, bill acceptors, smart cards and others. Also very nice is the webcam support which enables users to send voice, video and photo emails. It is also possible to administer terminals by remote. SiteKiosk uses Internet Explorer as its basis but presents a much simplified interface that even the novice user will understand. Excellent online help is included."

[x] Attack Information

SiteKiosk tries to block and avoid file downloads. If you click on a link which saves a file automatically on your hard drive (e.g. an exe download link) or if you right click something and select "save as..." a window will pop up which says that it isn't possible to download the file. But you can bypass the issue with a special url - you've got to use the "about:"-url. SiteKiosk uses the microsoft internet explorer engine to display web sites, so you can also use "about:" to display anything directloy from the url. For example "about:hello" will display the text "hello" directly in the browser. Of course you can use HTML too: "about:<b>hello</b>" will display the text "hello" bold. Normally this is harmless, but in SiteKiosk you can use it to download files.

[DSB-2011-01] Security Advisory FreeRADIUS 2.1.11

OCSP_basic_verify(), but it does not verify the status of the
certificate itself. Thus, if an attacker has access to a revoked
certificate and its matching private key, the attacker is able to get
authenticated against the FreeRADIUS server.
This allows the attacker to gain access to all network resources that
are accessible due to the FreeRADIUS authentication, e.g. Internet access.

To avoid the issue, the status of the certificate has to be checked with
the OCSP_resp_find_status() function by comparing the returned status
value against 'V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_GOOD', and by checking the freshness of
the OCSP response with OCSP_check_validity().

A more detailed description of the Jura F90 vulnerability.

The issue is a lack of input validation. OWASP would be a great learning exercise for the coders on this product. It seems to be assumed that only trust-worthy users will connect only to trust-worthy sites. I could not find any evidence of input validation.

Through the magic of Web Scarab and Paros proxy, one can capture the Internet communications used by the F90 Internet Connection Kit software. What you soon see is that the software does not account for either bypassing the local application and changing the input or in spoofed and re-directed sites.

The software does not validate the site it gets the information from nor does it sufficiently validate the input to the software.

At the moment as I think there are so few people as crazy as I am who actually have to have a gadget just as it is Internet connected; this is not likely to become a widespread attack vector.

The software is an oversized web proxy with other stuff to connect to the coffee machine thrown in. Jura did not make the assumption that an evil attacker could purposefully modify and publish "evil" coffee "recipes.
