CVE-2009-3583, confirming problem and adding info

by another author.

I have not checked other offshoots.

I am writing because I don't think the original full disclosure email
provided sufficient information as to how this could be typically
exploited in a system with typical installations of SQL-Ledger or
offshoots.  Indeed, when combined with standard functionality of the
software in typical configurations, the vulnerability is relatively
easy to exploit and does not require external upload access.


n.runs-SA-2011.004 - web programming languages and platforms - DoS through hash table

PHP 5 uses the DJBX33A (Dan Bernstein's times 33, addition) hash
function and parses POST form data into the $_POST hash table. Because
of the structure of the hash function, it is vulnerable to an equivalent
substring attack.

The maximal POST request size is typically limited to 8 MB, which when
filled with a set of multi-collisions would consume about four hours of
CPU time on an i7 core. Luckily, this time can not be exhausted because
it is limited by the max_input_time (default configuration: -1,
unlimited), Ubuntu and several BSDs: 60 seconds) configuration
parameter. If the max_input_time parameter is set to -1 (theoretically:

iDefense Security Advisory 06.11.08: Multiple Vendor X Server Render Extension AllocateGlyph() Integer Overflow Vulnerability

II. DESCRIPTION

Local exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in the X.Org X
server, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions,
could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the X server, typically root.

The vulnerability exists within the AllocateGlyph() function, which is
called from several request handlers in the render extension. This
function takes several values from the request, and multiplies them
together to calculate how much memory to allocate for a heap buffer.

iDefense Security Advisory 10.12.11: Apple MobileSafari Attachment Viewing Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

Remote exploitation of a cross site scripting vulnerability in Apple
Inc.'s MobileSafari could allow an attacker to view sensitive
information in the context of the targeted domain.

This vulnerability occurs in MobileSafari's handling of the
Content-Disposition header, which is typically used to inform the
browser that an attachment is contained in the current response. Typical
browser behavior is to prompt the user with an Open dialog, asking them
how they would like to handle the attachment content (such as opening an
external program). However, MobileSafari does not prompt the user, and
instead opens the attached content in the browser. If an attacker can

SECURITY ADVISORY - Level Platforms, Inc. Service Center Install Data HTTP Vulnerability

Overview: 
=========

Level Platforms, Inc. (LPI) flagship product Managed Workplace Service
Center, which provides remote monitoring, reporting and alerting of
device & network status. The software is typically used by Managed
Service Providers and large IT departments. There is also a hosted

and a Onsite Manager (client) component. The Service Center is typically

iDefense Security Advisory 01.17.08: Multiple Vendor X Server XFree86-Misc Extension Invalid Array Index Vulnerability

II. DESCRIPTION

Local exploitation of an invalid array index vulnerability in the X.Org
X server, as included in various vendors' operating system
distributions, could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the X server, typically root.

The vulnerability exists within the XFree86-Misc extension. When
processing a request, a 32-bit value from the client's request is used
as an index into an array of structures. This structure contains an
array of function pointers, one of which is used later in the request

mvnForum 1.1 Cross Site Scripting

 that is executed when other users use the quick reply button shown
 for every post.

 This point of injection is possible because the topic text is part
 of an "onclick" event used for the quick reply function and the 
 software only escapes characters that are typical for HTML cross
 site script attacks. In this case, the single quote character is not
 escaped.

Ummmm -- the only part of that likely to be relevant here is the last.

These kinds of web page "compromises" are typically achieved through 
bad/ill-configured/non-updated server-side web applications (or their 
underlying script engines) and are typically achieved without requiring 
any more special or privileged access to the victim sites than the 
ability to run a clever Google search or your own brute-force spidering 
via a bot-net, etc.

MITKRB5-SA-2009-002: ASN.1 decoder frees uninitialized pointer [CVE-2009-0846]

Kerberos application, including the Kerberos administration daemon
(kadmind) or the KDC to crash, and possibly to execute arbitrary code.

Compromise of the KDC or kadmind can compromise the Kerberos key
database and host security on the KDC host.  (The KDC and kadmind
typically run as root.)  We believe this scenario is highly unlikely,
given the details of the vulnerability.

Third-party applications using MIT krb5 may also be vulnerable.

iDefense Security Advisory 08.03.10: Citrix ICA Client ActiveX Memory Corruption Vulnerabillity

implement the client's functionality.

The vulnerability occurs in a certain function, which is accessible
through JavaScript. This function is responsible for reading a remote
ICA (Independent Computing Architecture# file from the server.
Typically, the contents of this file are used to provide options
controlling the connection to the application gateway.

During the reading of this file, the vulnerable function fails to check
the return value of the realloc## function. It then adds the number of
bytes read from the file so far to the value returned, and appends file

===[ DESCRIPTION ]======================================================

Typically unprivileged user can not send signal to processes running
with different UID. Due to vulnerability found in the Linux kernel any
local user may bypass security restrictions and send arbitrary signal to
any child process executed by the user.

When a parent process dies or exits its child processes may receive a

iDefense Security Advisory 06.21.10: Multiple Vendor LibTIFF 3.9.2 Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the current user. In order to exploit this
vulnerability, a user must load a web page containing a specially
crafted TIFF image. An attacker typically accomplishes this via social
engineering or injecting content into compromised, trusted sites.
Typical social engineering attacks will pass URLs as part of instant
messages or electronic mail.

VSR Advisory: Multiple Cisco CSS / ACE Client Certificate and HTTP Header Manipulation Vulnerabilities

Issue 1: Weak Enforcement of Authority in HTTP Certificate Headers
------------------------------------------------------------------
Cisco Bug Id - CSCSZ04690
Affects      - Cisco CSS

The first weakness affecting the Cisco CSS is that, in a typical client
certificate configuration, HTTP clients may confuse web applications by
injecting their own certificate headers.  When utilizing the CSS to
terminate SSL communications, SSL client certificates are first
authenticated by the CSS.  From there, the CSS will normally pass the
client's identity to the back-end web server in the form of several HTTP

Joomla 1.0.13 - 1.0.14 / (remote) PHP file inclusion possible if old configuration.php

 
Introduction:
 
Remote PHP file inclusion is possible when RG_EMULATION is not defined
in
configuration.php. This is typical when upgrading from an older version,
leaving configuration.php untouched. Furthermore, in PHP,
register_globals
must be 'off', for this exploit to work.
 
In Joomla >=1.0.13, configuration.php-dist disables register_globals

FW: [Full-disclosure] File Access Vulnerability in Easy File Sharing Web Server

About:
Easy File Sharing Web Server is an extremely popular web-based file sharing application that has been in use for years.
It is a fast, easy to use commercial, standalone "all-in-one" file-sharing web server.

Customers use a built-in interface to point to files they wish to publish via a menu-driven web application (typically full drives or directories).  Files can be shared anonymously, or via EFSWS's built-in user management.   EFSWS has built-in SSL encryption to prevent logons from being sent in the clear (as well as all other access).    Users log in, and are presented with a menu of files that have been published and that are made available for download.

EFSWS uses the MGH Software "myDB" database plug-in to store db information such as file location, user information (password in the clear), files, forum information, etc.   A free db parser is available at:
http://www.mghsoft.com/

Please see vendor site and db engine site for more details.

Symlink attack with Solaris Update manager and Sun Patch Cluster

1/24/2010

With the GUI Sun Update Manager being used to install patches on a system
local users can easily run scripts and create symlinks in an attempt to
clobber files and potentially escalate privileges as this application is
typically run in multi-user mode.
Many patches use insecure file creation in /tmp to store data during
installation. The easiest one to exploit is /tmp/CLEANUP which is used in a
handful of package installation scripts:

RE: [WEB SECURITY] Trustwave's SpiderLabs Security Advisory TWSL2010-001

SpiderLabs has documented view state tampering
vulnerabilities in three products from separate vendors.
View states are used by some web application frameworks to
store the state of HTML GUI controls. View states are
typically stored in hidden client-side input fields,
although server-side storage is widely supported.

The affected vendors generally recommend that client-side
view states are cryptographically signed and/or encrypted,
but specific exploits have not been previously documented.

CORE-2007-0817: Remote Command execution, HTML and JavaScript injection vulnerabilities in AOL's Instant Messaging software

  vulnerabilities in the ActiveX objects themselves or use their
  functionality to, for example, read arbitrary files from the victim's
  file system or even execute arbitrary shell commands in the victim's
  workstation.
- - Directly attack vulnerable versions of Internet Explorer in user
  workstations. This is a typical client-side attack scenario and could
  lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code in the victim's
  workstation. In this scenario "one-click" IE bugs (exploitation requires
  user assistance) become "zero-click" bugs (exploitation does not require
  user interaction).
