[ANNOUNCE] Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.2 released

Introduction
------------

Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content
Repository for Java Technology API (JCR). A content repository is a
hierarchical content store with support for structured and unstructured
content, full text search, versioning, transactions, observation, and
more. See the Jackrabbit web site at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for
more information.


[oCERT-2009-014] Android denial-of-service issues

due to required PIN re-entry and the need for user attention. Triggering
this bug (repeatedly in case no PIN is present) is considered a remote DoS
condition.

The second report addresses a number of issues discovered in the Android's
Dalvik API, one of them has been classified by the Android team as a DoS
vulnerability which leads to restarting the system process.

A specific malicious application can be crafted so that if it is
downloaded and executed by the user, it would trigger the vulnerable API
function and restart the system process. The same condition could occur if

VMWare poor guest isolation design

I have run across a design issue in VMware's scripting automation API that
diminishes VM guest/host isolation in such a manner to facilitate privilege
escalation, spreading of malware, and compromise of guest operating systems.

VMware's scripting API allows a malicious script on the host machine to
execute programs, open URLs, and perform other privileged operations on any
guest operating system open at the console, without requiring any
credentials on the guest operating system. Furthermore, the script can
execute programs even if you lock the desktop of the guest OS.


RE: VMWare poor guest isolation design

> utilities *and* you are currently logged into a GUI desktop running the
> vmware userland process.

VMWare constantly reminds you that you don't have the vmware guest tools
installed. I'd say that most people do install them. But that doesn't matter
anyway because you can just use the VIX API function VixVM_InstallTools to
install them if they aren't already there.

And you do not need to be logged in, the VIX API allows you to wait until
the command actually runs. So it can just sit there until the next time you
do login to the console.  

Open redirection vulnerability in the Drupal API function drupal_goto (Drupal 6.15 and 5.21)

Open redirection vulnerability in the Drupal API function drupal_goto
(Drupal 6.15 and 5.21)

Discovered by Martin Barbella <martybarbella@gmail.com>

Description of Vulnerability:
-----------------------------
Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a
community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide
variety of content on a website (http://drupal.org/about).

FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-11:07.chroot

Chroot is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the
current process and its children.  The chroot(2) system call is widely
used in many applications as a measure of limiting a process's access to
the file system, as part of implementing privilege separation.

The nsdispatch(3) API implementation has a feature to reload its
configuration on demand.  This feature may also load shared libraries
and run code provided by the library when requested by the configuration
file.

Re: WinAppDbg 1.4 is out!

Basically it supports 64 bits Windows, has a few more features, and
comes with a crash analyzer. PyDbg on the other hand supports Mac OS
and is integrated to PaiMei. So both frameworks have their own
advantages.

Also the programming API for PyDbg is much simpler (but still
powerful), but WinAppDbg's is more complete, documented, and object
oriented.

So if I were you, I wouldn't rush to port all my already written code
to WinAppDbg :) but if you're about to code something new you might

grasp more from a single look at a graphical layout than from two days
of x/x-ing memory pages.

The third feature we required was full flexible access to the debugging API,
the graphing engine, and the GUI API. Because having to Re-Compile
plugins is lame, we decided to make everything accessible from Python.
So we put everything together and developed something we feel very
comfortable using.

Re: VMWare poor guest isolation design

Hi there,

First of all - please forgive me, I'm not a developer and I don't use
the automation API. However, I use VMware a lot for development. I
have a Windows XP host machine and I use VMware to develop Linux code
(Debian Etch, Linux 2.6).

I. BACKGROUND

Symantec Scan Engine is a standalone Anti-Virus Engine that exposes a
scanning Application Programming Interface (API) directly to developers
who wish to integrate protection into their own custom applications.

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco Unified Communications Manager IP Phone Personal Address Book Synchronizer Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Cisco Unified Communications Manager software versions 5.x, 6.x, and
7.x store user information as a part of the internal Cisco Unified
Communications Manager configuration database. The IP Phone PAB
Synchronizer client uses the AXL application programming interface
(API) to perform address book synchronization. After a client
successfully authenticates, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
returns credentials for a database user account named TabSyncSysUser
that will be used by the client to synchronize an user's address
book. The TabSyncSysUser account has full read and write privileges
to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration database.

HP Quality Center vulnerability

    * Chained lists (when a value is selected in a field, another field gets updated with a list relevant to that value)
    * Automatic updates to some QC components (Test, Test Set, Defect objects, hidden fields)
    * Hidding information depending on the user's group (used when a project is shared with different vendors)
    * Others

The workflow is often driven by using the OTA (Open Test Architecture), the Quality Center API. This API allows the manipulation of any QC object (e.g. Subject folder, Test/Defect objects, Fields, etc.). It also allows the direct manipulation of the database used by Quality Center.

Issue
-------

When a user connects to Quality Center, the cache folder is automatically updated with the latest VBScript workflow files. Those files are then read by the QC front-end only once for the whole session. They are then used by the application whenever the associated events are raised.

Metasploit Framework 3.3 Released

network scanners. This greatly improved the reliability of the existing
scanners and allowed for dozens of new ones to be developed. Scanner
modules now report their progress as they scan the network and the
frequency of reports can be controlled through advanced options.

A simple fuzzer API has been added as a mixin, along with over a dozen
new fuzzer modules that demonstrate their use and capabilities. While
fuzzing is not the focus of the framework, the API is easy to use and
can meet the requirements of many on-the-spot service tests. Ryan Linn's
HTTP NTLM capture module has been integrated into the framework.

WinAppDbg 1.4 is out!

==================

The WinAppDbg python module allows developers to quickly code instrumentation
scripts in Python under a Windows environment.

It uses ctypes to wrap many Win32 API calls related to debugging, and provides
an object-oriented abstraction layer to manipulate threads, libraries and
processes, attach your script as a debugger, trace execution, hook API calls,
handle events in your debugee and set breakpoints of different kinds (code,
hardware and memory). Additionally it has no native code at all, making it
easier to maintain or modify than other debuggers on Windows.
