guest abuses ptrace permissions on his own processes to write to
pavel's files... no, that obviously is not security hole :-).

Whatever. I agree that it is obscure, but I believe that it is

SQL-Ledger patch update for SQL injection

Hi all;

We have been informed that SQL-Ledger 2.8.34 has in fact been released
patching the security hole previously reported in LedgerSMB 1.2.24 and
Lower.  This is an SQL injection issue.

I haven't been been able to find a CVE listing for this yet.  Secunia
has assigned this the id of SA45649 for LedgerSMB.  I expect to send a
full disclosure email discussing the vulnerability in a week.


[waraxe-2007-SA#056] - Another Sql Injection in NukeSentinel 2.5.11

It's easy to see, that $_COOKIE['admin'] variable will be used as argument
for "is_god()" function. And we have another critical sql injetion in place.
I have written proof-of-concept blind injection exploit for this specific
case and it's working flawlessly.
Happy news to potential victims - developer has allready patched this security
hole in NukeSentinel with releasing new version - 2.5.12

//-----> See ya soon and have a nice day ;) <-----//

[waraxe-2008-SA#066] - Multiple Vulnerabilities in Coppermine 1.4.14

        $count = mysql_num_rows($result);
--------------------------------------------------

As seen above, "$_POST['albumid']", "$_POST['startpic']" and
"$_POST['numpics']" are used in sql query without proper sanitization.
Clearly this points to possible sql injection security hole.
As this script can be used only by admins, then i'd classify it as
"low impact". By the way, there seems to be  more sql injections in this
script.

STEP3: Deface or root the server ;)
 
------> Infos about the Exploit
 
Unfortunaly, the RCE is only once possible and only after gaining acces to the admincenter... so choose your command usefull. (I tried to make a RFI out of it but the results were shitty because most of the webserver are secured against including php file from other webservers.)
The RCE is possible due a security hole when you change the Username. The script doesn´t check the input so we can manipulate the script.=)

This problem is not a threat because root user is able to boot any kernel without going through boot sequence (kexec) and is able to recover disk encryption key by inspecting dmcrypt module in memory.

If the directory is mounted via NFS or is exported there are several  
ways...so software written to assume directory permissions are  
sufficent to protect users from other unpriveliged users is broken in  
general. Even if it is usually secure enough on non-Linux. It is not

But guest has permissions to ptrace() his own processes. If we remember your 
original report, he abuses input redirection of bash run by himself. So again, 
there's no real security hole here.

That is the like "security hole".
