Summary of Security Items from March 2 through March 8, 2006
The US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin provides a summary of new and updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, and malicious code that have recently been openly reported. Information in the Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation of open source and US-CERT vulnerability information. As such, the Cyber Security Bulletin includes information published by sources outside of US-CERT and should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis or as an official report of US-CERT. Although this information does reflect open source reports, it is not an official description and should be used for informational purposes only. The intention of the Cyber Security Bulletin is to serve as a comprehensive directory of pertinent vulnerability reports, providing brief summaries and additional sources for further investigation.
The tables below summarize vulnerabilities that have been reported by various open source organizations or presented in newsgroups and on web sites. Items in bold designate updates that have been made to past entries. Entries are grouped by the operating system on which the reported software operates, and vulnerabilities which affect both Windows and Unix/ Linux Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems table. Note, entries in each table are not necessarily vulnerabilities in that operating system, but vulnerabilities in software which operate on some version of that operating system.
Entries may contain additional US-CERT sponsored information, including Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) numbers, National Vulnerability Database (NVD) links, Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) values, Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL) definitions, or links to US-CERT Vulnerability Notes. Metrics, values, and information included in the Cyber Security Bulletin which has been provided by other US-CERT sponsored programs, is prepared, managed, and contributed by those respective programs. CVSS values are managed and provided by the US-CERT/ NIST National Vulnerability Database. Links are also provided to patches and workarounds that have been provided by the product’s vendor.
The Risk levels are defined below:
High - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “High” severity if they have a CVSS base score of 7.0-10.0.
Medium - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “Medium” severity if they have a base CVSS score of 4.0-6.9.
Low - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “Low” severity if they have a CVSS base score of 0.0-3.9.
Note that scores provided prior to 11/9/2005 are approximated from only partially available CVSS metric data. Such scores are marked as "Approximated" within NVD. In particular, the following CVSS metrics are only partially available for these vulnerabilities and NVD assumes certain values based on an approximation algorithm: AccessComplexity, Authentication, ConfImpact of 'partial', IntegImpact of 'partial', AvailImpact of 'partial', and the impact biases.

This section contains wireless vulnerabilities, articles, and malicious code
that has been identified during the current reporting period.
aircrackng-0.1.tar.gz: A set of tools for auditing wireless networks that is an enhanced/reborn version of aircrack. It consists of airodump (an 802.11 packet capture program), aireplay (an 802.11 packet injection program), aircrack (static WEP and WPA-PSK cracking), airdecap (decrypts WEP/WPA capture files), and some tools to handle capture files (merge, convert, etc.).
This section contains brief summaries and links to articles which discuss or present
information pertinent to the cyber security community.
Zombie PCs menace mankind: According to symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, cybercrooks are developing more sophisticated techniques to steal confidential data. Malicious hackers are increasingly using bot-networks, modular malicious code, and targeted attacks on web applications and web browsers to carry out cyber raids.
Risky sites account for 5 percent of traffic:According to SiteAdvisor, a company founded by graduate students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a significant number of visits to Web pages could place consumer's computers at risk. Theyuse a legion of automated virtual computers to scan the Internet for dangerous Web sites. They found that sites accounting for 5 percent of all Web traffic attempted to upload hostile programs to a visitor's computer, or acted in some other malicious way.
Hunt Intensifies for Botnet Command & Controls: A group of high-profile security researchers is ramping up efforts to find and disable the command-and-control infrastructure that powers millions of zombie drone machines, or bots, hijacked by malicious hackers.
The idea is to open up a new reporting mechanism for ISPs and IT administrators to report botnet activity, especially the C&C (command-and-control) system that remotely sends instructions to botnets.
Malware Attacks Drop Off in February: Records were set in January for malware output; however, the malware volume dropped by 26 percent last month. Sophos analysts detected 2,312 new pieces of malware in January, setting a record for the highest volume of malware in one month. In February there were only 1,132 new pieces of malware -- which includes worms, viruses and Trojans -- pop up.
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.
