Cyber Security Bulletin SB05-131archive

Summary of Security Items from May 4 through May 10, 2005

Information in the US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation and includes information published by outside sources, so the information should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis. Software vulnerabilities are categorized in the appropriate section reflecting the operating system on which the vulnerability was reported; however, this does not mean that the vulnerability only affects the operating system reported since this information is obtained from open-source information.

This bulletin provides a summary of new or updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, viruses, and trojans. Updates to vulnerabilities that appeared 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.


Vulnerabilities

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.

NASM 0.98.38

A vulnerability was reported in NASM. A remote malicious user can cause arbitrary code to be executed by the target user. A remote user can create a specially crafted asm file that, when processed by the target user with NASM, 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 error() function in 'preproc.c.'

Mozilla Firefox 1.0; Gentoo Linux; Thunderbird 0.6, 0.7- 0.7.3, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.0.1;
Netscape Netscape 7.2

There are multiple vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user may be able to cause a target user to execute arbitrary operating system commands in certain situations or access access content from other windows, including the 'about:config' settings. This is due to a hybrid image vulnerability that allows batch statements to be dragged to the desktop and because tabbed javascript vulnerabilities let remote users access other windows.

Trends

  • Spear phishers evade usual spam defenses: A new method called 'spear phishing' that evades traditional anti-phishing defenses is being used by Internet scammers. Spear phishing is more specific, because it typically targets a handful of people who are employees of an organization. In one method, the phisher harvests specific email addresses, either through a phone call or through a company website, and then sends four or five employees a message from a spoofed address purporting to be part of their IT or human resources department. With a spoofed internal address, spear-phishing emails appear to come from within a company and people tend to be more trusting. Source: http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3274129a28,00.html.
  • U.S. most vulnerable to identity theft: According to a report published by a Boston, Mass.-based research firm, Aite Group, the United States is the most prone to identify theft among developed countries. Identity theft occurs seven times more frequently in the U.S. than in other industrialized regions, like the United Kingdom. Additionally, in continental Western Europe and Japan, identity theft is a non-event. Report summary: http://www.aitegroup.com/reports/200504043.php.  Source: http://www.financetech.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=162600200
  • Identity theft is top problem according to executive: According to a top executive at the computer security firm, McAfee Inc., the biggest computer security issues facing consumers and businesses today are identity and information theft. Hackers are no longer interested in breaking into computer systems and causing them to crash. Instead, they now want to keep a system up and running so they can steal information from it or use it as a launching pad for attacks against other computers. Source: http://www.canada.com/technology/story.html?id=d4a55ba3-85e3-4399-847c-dddc35af62c3.
  • Fraudsters deploy botnets to sustain phishing attacks: Botnets controlled by fraudsters are running their own Domain Name System (DNS) nameservers on compromised computers. The technique can keep phishing sites accessible longer by making the nameservers a widely distributed moving target amongst thousands of compromised machines within a bot network.

    to_sustain_phishing_attacks.html
    .
  • Users untouched by mobile viruses despite hype: According to WDSGlobal, the threat of mobile phone viruses has been exaggerated. WDSGlobal, which handles 100,000 specialist data support calls every month, found that less than 10 of the 275,000 calls received in the first quarter of 2005 related to mobile phone viruses. The company handles second-line support for data problems and would be the first contacted with mobile data virus issues. Source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/05/mobile_virus_hype_debunked/.

Viruses/Trojans

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.

Table Updated May 10, 2005

Viruses or Trojans Considered to be a High Level of Threat

  • Oscabot: A Trojan continued to spread among America Online instant messaging clients, and installs its backdoor on the infected PC when trusting users click on a link within the line "Check out this" or "i thought youd wanna see this" from a buddy on their AIM contact list. The Trojan doesn't spread automatically when users download and run the file linked in the instant message. Instead, it opens a port and listens for instructions on IRC (Internet Relay Channel); the attacker must specifically order each infected machine to start spreading. Source: http://www.techweb.com/wire/security/163100341

The following table provides, in alphabetical order, a list of new viruses, variations of previously encountered viruses, and Trojans that have been discovered during the period covered by this bulletin. This information has been compiled from the following anti-virus vendors: Sophos, Trend Micro, Symantec, McAfee, Network Associates, Central Command, F-Secure, Kaspersky Labs, MessageLabs, Panda Software, Computer Associates, and The WildList Organization International. Users should keep anti-virus software up to date and should contact their anti-virus vendors to obtain specific information on the Trojans and Trojan variants that anti-virus software detects.

NOTE: At times, viruses and Trojans may contain names or content that may be considered offensive.
