    Roel Kluin discovered inverted logic in the skfddi driver that
    permits local, unprivileged users to reset the driver statistics.

automatically on system boot/shutdown.

II.  Problem Description

In multiple situations the host's jail rc.d(8) script does not check if
a path inside the jail file system structure is a symbolic link before
using the path.  In particular this is the case when writing the
output from the jail start-up to /var/log/console.log and when
mounting and unmounting file systems inside the jail directory
structure.


SECOBJADV-2008-04: Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation Memory Disclosure Vulnerability

BACKGROUND

Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 from Symantec provides a complete 
solution for heterogeneous online storage management. Based on the 
industry-leading Veritas Volume Manager and Veritas File System, it 
provides a standard set of integrated tools to centrally manage 
explosive data growth, maximize storage hardware investments, provide 
data protection and adapt to changing business requirements.

SUMMARY

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

buffer overflow can be achieved by creating a map file on the server
with overly long IMAGEPATH and/or NAME attributes; their values will be
stored past the end of "buffer" and will overwrite saved register
values.  If the following specially-crafted map file ("bof.map") is
stored on the server (either by creating it directly, or tricking a
legitimate user into placing it onto the file system):

    MAP
      NAME {"A" x 1072}GGGG
      STATUS ON
      SIZE 100 100

Re: Guidance Software response to iSEC report on EnCase (fwd)

Furthermore, I know some BIOSs will still boot without a valid MBR
partition table in the first place.



> 2. Corrupted NTFS file system crashed EnCase during acquisition.
>
> Response: The authors state that “this issue appears to be caused by an attempt to read past the end of the buffer.”  However, EnCase features an option to de-select the automatic reading of the file system during the acquisition process.  Thus, there is an easy work-around. Also, by corrupting the NTFS partitions, the perpetrator would likely render his file system dysfunctional, which calls into question both the likelihood and feasibility of such a tactic.  Thus, the chances of this specific scenario occurring in the field are extremely remote; however, Guidance Software will test and, if verified, place this anomaly in its development queue to address the crashing problem in the future.

So really all I need to do is wrap my partition/file-system in a
corrupted NTFS (btw NTFS file system is redundant), and poof I potentially

Wow.  Very nice find.  One question: all the cited tools are Windows executables.  Has there been any attempt to run the database viewer in Linux via Wine?  I'm wondering if I'm going to have to set up a VM to try to confirm this, or if I can try to do this via Wine.

Although the n3td3v drama is entertaining, its finds like this which keep me subscribed to this list.

CVE-2011-1576 


Microsoft Bluetooth Stack OBEX Directory Traversal

References: http://www.seguridadmobile.com/windows-mobile/windows-mobile-security/Microsoft-Bluetooth-Stack-Directory-Traversal.html

Description:
Most Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices are shipped with Microsoft Bluetooth stack, only few of them use others like Widcomm Bluetooth stack. Among all the Bluetooth services that may be implemented in the stack, OBEX FTP is the most common service.

OBEX FTP Bluetooth service can be used to share files through Bluetooth, not only by sending files but also by allowing remote devices to browse local shared folders and download files. Usually, the service is configured in such a way that a specific directory is shared and the user can place there all the files he would like to share with other people. The default directory is My Device\My Documents\Bluetooth Share. A different directory may be selected by the user, however the Bluetooth wizard usually doesn't allow specifying any other from the filesystem out of My Device\My Documents\ or Memory Card\My Documents\ paths. This is because of safety reasons, so the user can't expose sensitive files or information through Bluetooth.

There exists a Directory Traversal vulnerability in the OBEX FTP Service in Microsoft Bluetooth Stack implemented in Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices. A remote attacker (who previously owned authentication and authorization rights) can use tools like ObexFTP to traverse to parent directories out of the default Bluetooth shared folder. This means the attacker can browse folders located on a lower level, download files contained in those folders as well as upload files to those folders.

The only requirement is that the attacker must have authentication and authorization privileges over the OBEX FTP service. Pairing up with the remote Windows Mobile device should be enough to get it. In case the attacker succeeded in getting the proper privileges, further actions will be transparent to the user.

The package versions referenced in the initial DSA-1503 advisory
introduced a regression that can cause hangs on systems that make use of
the ext2 filesystem. The regression has been resolved in the package
versions referenced by this updated advisory.

following problems:

Details follow:

The minix filesystem did not properly validate certain filesystem
values. If a local attacker could trick the system into attempting
to mount a corrupted minix filesystem, the kernel could be made to
hang for long periods of time, resulting in a denial of service.

SUMMARY

Postfix local privilege escalation via hardlinked symlinks

Summary: Solaris and Linux file system behavior has changed over
time, breaking one of the assumptions in Postfix. See below for a
description of the behavior and how it disagrees with standards.

Postfix is not affected on systems with standard (POSIX, X/Open)
file system behavior, i.e. *BSD, AIX, MacOS, HP-UX, and very old
Sun/Linux systems.  The fix and workarounds are simple.

There are efforts to get the non-standard behavior approved by
standards (a function called llink). Today's fix for Solaris, Linux
