Cyber Security Bulletin SB04-357archive

Summary of Security Items from December 15 through December 21, 2004

This bulletin provides a summary of new or updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, viruses, and trojans. Updates to items appearing in previous bulletins are listed in bold text. The text in the Risk column appears in red for vulnerabilities ranking High. The risks levels applied to vulnerabilities in the Cyber Security Bulletin are based on how the "system" may be impacted. The Recent Exploit/Technique table contains a "Workaround or Patch Available" column that indicates whether a workaround or patch has been published for the vulnerability which the script exploits.


Bugs, Holes, & Patches

The table below summarizes vulnerabilities that have been identified, even if they are not being exploited. Complete details about patches or workarounds are available from the source of the information or from the URL provided in the section. CVE numbers are listed where applicable. Vulnerabilities that affect both Windows and Unix Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems section.

Note: All the information included in the following tables has been discussed in newsgroups and on web sites.

The Risk levels defined below are based on how the system may be impacted:

  • High - A high-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder to immediately gain privileged access (e.g., sysadmin or root) to the system or allow an intruder to execute code or alter arbitrary system files. An example of a high-risk vulnerability is one that allows an unauthorized user to send a sequence of instructions to a machine and the machine responds with a command prompt with administrator privileges.
  • Medium - A medium-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder immediate access to a system with less than privileged access. Such vulnerability will allow the intruder the opportunity to continue the attempt to gain privileged access. An example of medium-risk vulnerability is a server configuration error that allows an intruder to capture the password file.
  • Low - A low-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will provide information to an intruder that could lead to further compromise attempts or a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. It should be noted that while the DoS attack is deemed low from a threat potential, the frequency of this type of attack is very high. DoS attacks against mission-critical nodes are not included in this rating and any attack of this nature should instead be considered to be a "High" threat.

A remote user can create a specially crafted FRM file that, when processed by the target user with vb2c, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user. The buffer overflow resides in the gettoken() function in 'vb2c.c.'

No workaround or patch available at time of publishing.

A Proof of Concept exploit script has been published.

A race condition vulnerability exists in the Linux Kernel terminal subsystem. This issue is related to terminal locking and is exposed when a remote malicious user connects to the computer through a PPP dialup port. When the remote user issues the switch from console to PPP, there is a small window of opportunity to send data that will trigger the vulnerability. This may cause a Denial of Service.

This issue has been addressed in version 2.6.9 of the Linux Kernel. Patches are also available for 2.4.x releases: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/

Namazu 2.0.13 and prior

A vulnerability exists which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Input passed to 'namazu.cgi' isn't properly sanitized before being returned to the user if the query begins from a tab ('%09'). This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

NetBSD Foundation

NetBSD prior to 2.0

A vulnerability exists in the compat functions. A local malicious user can cause Denial of Service conditions or potentially gain elevated privileges. Some of the functions in /usr/src/sys/compat/* do not properly validate user-supplied data before executing a kernel syscall. Several functions do not properly validate signal numbers. A local malicious user can cause large signal numbers to be passed to certain syscall functions to cause the kernel to crash. Several buffer overflows exist. At least one of the buffer overflows allows a local user to gain root privileges.

Version 2.0 includes the fix. Instructions on upgrading kernel binaries are provided in the vendor's advisory, available at:
http://www.netbsd.org/Security/

Currently we are not aware of any exploits for these vulnerabilities.

A vulnerability exists in isakmpd(8) which could allow a local malicious user to trigger a kernel panic. If the target system is running isakmpd(8), a local user can set ipsec(4) credentials on a socket to corrupt kernel memory and cause the system to panic. The flaw resides in the pfkeyv2_acquire() function in 'sys/net/pfkeyv2.c.'

Mozilla.org

Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 and Mozilla 1.7.1 on Windows

Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 on Linux

A spoofing vulnerability exists that could allow malicious sites to abuse SSL certificates of other sites. An attacker could make the browser load a valid certificate from a trusted website by using a specially crafted 'onunload' event. The problem is that Mozilla loads the certificate from a trusted website and shows the 'secure padlock' while actually displaying the content of the malicious website. The URL shown in the address bar correctly reads that of the malicious website.

An additional cause has been noted due to Mozilla not restricting websites from including arbitrary, remote XUL (XML User Interface Language) files.

Workaround: Do not follow links from untrusted websites and verify the correct URL in the address bar with the one in the SSL certificate.

Top Ten Virus Threats

A list of high threat viruses, as reported to various anti-virus vendors and virus incident reporting organizations, has been ranked and categorized in the table below. For the purposes of collecting and collating data, infections involving multiple systems at a single location are considered a single infection. It is therefore possible that a virus has infected hundreds of machines but has only been counted once. With the number of viruses that appear each month, it is possible that a new virus will become widely distributed before the next edition of this publication. To limit the possibility of infection, readers are reminded to update their anti-virus packages as soon as updates become available. The table lists the viruses by ranking (number of sites affected), common virus name, type of virus code (i.e., boot, file, macro, multi-partite, script), trends (based on number of infections reported since last week), and approximate date first found.

    • F-Secure has released their 'F-Secure Corporation's Data Security Summary for 2004.' New trends in 2004 were primarily the massive increase in phishing email scams, and the introduction of open-source botnets - networks of infected machines harnessed for malicious operations, and for-profit virus-writing. For more information, see: http://www.f-secure.com/2004/
    • Sanity.A: A Web worm that identifies potential victims by searching Google is spreading among online bulletin boards using a vulnerable version of the program phpBB. Almost 40,000 sites may have already been infected. Using Microsoft's Search engine to scan for the phrase 'NeverEverNoSanity'--part of the defacement text that the Santy worm uses to replace files on infected Web sites--returns nearly 39,000 hits. For more information, see: http://news.com.com/Net%2Bworm%2Busing%2BGoogle%2Bto%2Bspread/2100%2D7349_3%2D5499725.html.
