Re: Vulnerabilities in Dunia Soccer

If an admin who doesn't follow bugtraq doesn't know about the issue it's 
not full disclosure to him.  It's like when you hear about a "known 
issue" from Microsoft.   If I didn't know about it, how in the heck is 
it a known issue?  Just because someone in Redmond knows about it 
doesn't mean the rest of us do.

I have captcha on a blog site I run. I get folks able to bypass the 
filter and post spam comments that get filtered and then a week later or 
so gets deleted off and the CPU use on the site sucks.  But that could 
also be the software I'm running.

Re: DoS vulnerabilities in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Opera

Hi Mustlive,
I'm not sure if there's a need to discuss or clarify this any further. 
Please refer to my earlier posts, and for the sake of saving some of our 
time & efforts, avoid drawing tangents about scripts and noscripts (I've 
clarified both earlier) & weasel words (security vulnerability and nntp 
exploit - irrelevent in this case).
JS or no-JS, this issue is nothing new, this behavior is well-defined and a 
necessity and definitely not a URI (of any kind) exploit or a security 
vulnerability.


Re: DoS vulnerabilities in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Opera

Hello Susan and other readers, who replied to my previous advisory.

Earlier I've already answered Vladimir, now I'd answer Susan and soon I'd
answer John. But now one important note to every reader of the list,
including John Smith. Which I already wrote about 1,5 week ago (after
posting of a first advisory about DoS in browsers) to one reader of
Full-disclosure who inattentively read that advisory (he missed message
about attacking without JS) and also to Mozilla (who became discussing this
issue and only drew attention to attacking with JS vector). That, as I wrote
in both advisories, this attack via iframes can also be conducted without

In the face of the reality of China's horribly infected network, when I suggest blocking that traffic (as many others have and do), they seize the opportunity to call me prejudice and a racist.

The Chinese network is indeed very infected, which in turn causes the 
rest of the world great computerized harm. Nobody disputes this.

The solution of blocking China, however, is one which harms both people 
outside of China, as well as those inside of China. Therefore, it

Cisco ACE XML Gateway <= 6.0 Internal IP disclosure

Vulnerability Explaination
=======================================
Let's wait for the Cisco response, so, we'll have a better understanding on this
issue. Meanwhile...

I think this is a design error because ACE XML doesn't have in mind that the 
client could probably be in the same network segment internally, so, it receives 
the request, which cannot be processed, and throws an error message disclosing 
an internal IP address.

According to the ACE XML Gateway User Guide, Log Messages chapter, the listed

Re: /proc filesystem allows bypassing directory permissions on Linux

There's a nearly identical case that works in all Unixen, AFAIK:  You
have /a/b/file1, which is writable to user1.  The user has permission
to descend /a and /a/b.  At some point user1 does a cd to /a/b.  Then
at some later point, while the user still has that shell open, the
sysadmin closes off permission to /a, and user1 no longer can descend
it.  But it doesn't matter... user1 has already got a shell open in
/a/b, and therefore full access to all the files there which are not
otherwise protected against that user's access.  user1 can copy them,
mail them to friends, make hard links to them, etc....  Anything
desired, until that shell is closed.  This case won't work if you
close off /a/b, because you need to be able to modify the directory in

Re: Standing Up Against German Laws - Project HayNeedle

If I read the law correctly, it requires retention of "what IP  
connected to another IP" and "which phone number called where." It  
doesn't bother retaining the URL called (my German is rusty, so I may  
be a little off in my interpretation). Connecting to a random IP on a  
random open port (80 and 443, for example) would be a good start to  
accomplish the goal creating chatter. The issue is that the search  
terms to find those ports could lead to connecting to a site that  
increases your profile against general background chatter, even as it

Loginwindow.app and Mac OS X

Moin moin Bugtraq readers,

Bill Paul and I have discovered that LoginWindow.app doesn't clear
credentials after a user is authenticated. We discovered this while
testing our EFI-based memory recovery utilities discussed recently[0].

We've found that depending on the state of capture, the passwords for
currently active accounts are stored in memory in plain text form, at
least once if not more times.


Microsot DID DISCLOSE potential Backdoor

What happens if slash when for some reason or another the government decides that you 
should not read a news site, will Microsoft willingly oblige and rewrite the news in 
accordance to what the government deems readable?

How about the potential to give Microsoft a warrantless order to discover who doesn't 
like a President's "health care plan", or who is irrate and whatever policy; Will Microsoft 
sift through a machine to retrieve relevant data to disclose to authorities?

That doesn't include the potential for say technological espionage and gouging of sorts. 
What's to stop Microsoft from say, mapping a network and reporting all "non-Microsoft"

``execute'' is similar e.g. to the ``eval'' command of the POSIX shell.  As Vim

``execute'' is very popular:

Re: [Full-disclosure] Linux kernel exploit

Hey Dan,

Freaking THANK YOU first and foremost. I've been waiting for someone to say that for days now, and was just about to myself. 

Just because everyone and their brother want's to show off that they can compile & run some software (herp a derp, good job) DOESN'T mean they should immediately post it here. I tested it against an OLDER KERNEL on purpose because I actually read the headers and the exploit worked as expected. I knew that this was responsibly disclosed, so it was already patched on any system that I updated. If you don't have the proper symbols, then the exploit doesn't have the proper offsets, and the exploit will fail. Plain and simple. *THEN* there's people who don't even bother to read that "Red Hat does not support Econet by default". DOES NOT. As in the exploit WON'T WORK!

It's pathetic that the original exploit dev has to waste his time saying the same thing 5 times.

IOS Rookit: the sky isn't falling (yet)

Nice lesson on 101 hooking on IOS.

The (oversimplified) modus operandi is pretty straight forward: take an image,
decompress it, have his tool locate the function and later patch it, add his
code by overwriting large strings, (re)compress the image and (re)calculate/fix
the checksums. Pretty neat. The fact that he doesn't do basic binary patching
makes the approach portable and not architecture, version or feature set
specific.

This image then needs to be uploaded to the router and the device need to be
reloaded. This backdoor is persistent (vs the old backdoor trick using the TCL

Re: [Full-disclosure] COM Server-Based Binary Planting ProofOfConcept

Two things:

1) Are you sure a stock build of Windows doesn't pop a security
warning when right clicking the file:// IFRAME?  You might have munged
your test OS.
2) You're getting closer with this "Send To" stuff, but you're still
socially engineering.  Definitely better than classic "please download
and execute this file" though.

You really should stop talking about exploits against Powerpoint etc.
