Summary of Security Items from March 9 through March 15, 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.

Metro Wi-Fi Networks To Grow 8,400% By 2010:According to a report from ABI Research, by 2010 municipal Wi-Fi networks will cover 126,000 square miles (over 325,000 square km) worldwide. This is an increase from about 1,500 square miles in 2005 (3885 square kilometers). ABI says the growth of municipal Wi-Fi is being driven by several trends, including use of the wireless networks for public safety and increased efficiency.
This section contains brief summaries and links to articles which discuss or present
information pertinent to the cyber security community.
Virus names likely a lost cause: In early February, antivirus firms warned customers about a computer virus programmed to delete files on the third of each month, but almost every company called the program by a different name. While this episode highlighted the continuing issues for the average Internet user, the incident became the first success for an effort to create a single identifier among responders for common threats. While consumers may have wondered about which threat to be worried about, incident response teams and information-technology managers had a single name for the attack, CME-24. The designation comes from the Common Malware Enumeration (CME) Project, an initiative spearheaded by federal contractor MITRE Corp. The project does not intend to solve the naming problem for consumers, but to provide a neutral common identifier that incident responders can use.
Americans Want Banks To Spy On Their Accounts: According to a survey conducted by RSA Security, nine out of ten Americans want their banks to monitor their online accounts for signs of suspicious behavior. The poll also found that although consumers aren't seeing a rise in the number of phishing e-mails, they are increasingly wary of all electronic communiqués from their banks. According to telephone survey, 79 percent said that they were less likely to respond to e-mail from their bank because of worry over phishing scams; that's up nine points from 2004.
The Tracks We Leave Behind: Web searches are not very private. They leave behind footprints in server logs that record their activities. The logs show the IP address of a user's computer, the date and time a visitor clicked on a Web page, the user's PC operating system and browser, and the referring URL that brought them to a site. An IP address can, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, be used to identify a user's location, through a geolocation service or an Internet service provider. When compelled by law or sometimes merely at the request of legal authorities, ISPs will identify their subscribers.
Clever Phishers Dodge Spoofed Site Shutdowns: A new technique is being used by fraudsters in order to keep their spoofed Web sites up and running. According to RSA Security's Naftali Bennett, the senior vice president of its Cyota anti-fraud division, some phishers have started using a tactic called "smart site redirection" to stay a step ahead of the law.
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.
