Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Software IPS and Zone-Based Firewall Vulnerabilities

Cisco IOS Software contains two vulnerabilities related to Cisco IOS
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall
features. These vulnerabilities are:

  * Memory leak in Cisco IOS Software
  * Cisco IOS Software Denial of Service when processing specially
    crafted HTTP packets

Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities.


Cross-site scripting in Samizdat 0.6.1

Patch: http://samizdat.nongnu.org/release-notes/samizdat-0.6.1-xss-escape-title.patch
References: CVS-2009-0359, DTSA-194-1

Description:

Samizdat 0.6.1 contains several code paths that fail to escape special HTML
characters in message title and user full name before these strings are included
in a Web page (in earlier versions, only user full name is exploitable). This
allows an attacker to perform a cross-site scripting attack by including a
specially crafted string in their full name or message title.


Collection of Vulnerabilities in Fully Patched Vim 7.1

Ex commands don't accept strings for arguments, only bare-words.  In other
words, there is just one level of quoting.  It is possible to quote individual
characters by prepending a backslash.  As we can learn in the Vim Reference
Manual (``cmdline.txt'') we can divide the characters in three classes --
characters that are treated specially :

        (1) *unless* preceded by a backslash
        (2) *when* preceded by a backslash
        (3) when preceded by a *quoted* backslash


Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco Unified IP Phone Overflow and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

  * DNS Response Parsing Overflow

    Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940, 7940G, 7960 and 7960G devices
    running SCCP and SIP firmware contain a buffer overflow
    vulnerability in the handling of DNS responses. A
    specially-crafted DNS response may be able to trigger a buffer
    overflow and execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable phone. This
    vulnerability is corrected in SCCP firmware version 8.0(8) and
    SIP firmware version 8.8(0). This vulnerability is documented in 
    CVE-2008-0530 leavingcisco.com and Cisco Bug IDs CSCsj74818 and
    CSCsk21863.

CORE-2008-0228: Microsoft Word Malformed FIB Arbitrary Free Vulnerability

running the "Dispatcher" service, part of SAP Netweaver Application
Server ABAP. By sending different messages, the different
vulnerabilities can be triggered.
