Format string vulnerability in the CF_syslog function launchd in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 up to 10.4.6 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers that are not properly handled in a syslog call in the logging facility, as demonstrated by using a crafted plist file. Apple Mac OS X 'launchd' is prone to a local format-string vulnerability. A local attacker can exploit this issue through a malicious 'plist' file that includes externally supplied format specifiers that will be passed to the vulnerable code. A successful attack may crash the application or lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue was initially discussed in BID 18686 (Apple Mac OS X Multiple Security Vulnerabilities). The vulnerability exists specifically in the logging tool of launchd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Reverse Engineer Wanted Secunia offers a Security Specialist position with emphasis on reverse engineering of software and exploit code, auditing of source code, and analysis of vulnerability reports. 1) An error in the AFP server within the handling of users' search results can be exploited by malicious users to gain knowledge of the names of files and folders for which the user performing the search has no access to. 2) A vulnerability within the Freshclam command line utility in ClamAV can potentially be exploited to compromise a vulnerable system.

Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) 4.x for Windows uses the client's IP address and the server's port number to grant access to an HTTP server port for an administration session, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via various methods, aka "ACS Weak Session Management Vulnerability.". This issue is due to the application's failure to properly ensure that remote web-based users are properly authenticated. This issue allows remote attackers to gain administrative access to the web-based administrative interface of the affected application. Cisco Secure ACS for Windows versions in the 4.x series were identified as vulnerable to this issue; other versions and platforms may also be affected. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug IDs CSCse26754 and CSCse26719. This helps attackers to hijack management sessions because port numbers are assigned in a sequential fashion without using strong authentication. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to join the Secunia Security Team?

The TOSRFBD.SYS driver for Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 4.00.29 and earlier on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot) via a L2CAP echo request that triggers an out-of-bounds memory access, similar to "Ping o' Death" and as demonstrated by BlueSmack. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for 4.00.23. Toshiba Bluetooth Stack is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Reports indicate that a successful attack can corrupt memory and restart a vulnerable computer. Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows versions 4.0.23 and prior are reported to be affected

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Cisco CallManager 3.3 before 3.3(5)SR3, 4.1 before 4.1(3)SR4, 4.2 before 4.2(3), and 4.3 before 4.3(1), allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) pattern parameter in ccmadmin/phonelist.asp and (2) arbitrary parameters in ccmuser/logon.asp, aka bugid CSCsb68657. This issue is due to a failure in the web-interface to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code execute in the browser of an unsuspecting administrative user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker launch other attacks

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0 allows local and possibly remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Active Server Pages (ASP). Microsoft DHCP Client service contains a buffer overflow. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Microsoft Office applications fail to properly handle PNG images. To exploit this issue, attackers must be able to place and execute malicious ASP pages on computers running the affected ASP server software. This may be an issue in shared-hosting environments. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA06-192A Microsoft Windows, Office, and IIS Vulnerabilities Original release date: July 11, 2006 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT Systems Affected * Microsoft Windows * Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) * Microsoft Office * Microsoft Office for Mac * Microsoft Access * Microsoft Excel and Excel Viewer * Microsoft FrontPage * Microsoft InfoPath * Microsoft OneNote * Microsoft Outlook * Microsoft PowerPoint * Microsoft Project * Microsoft Publisher * Microsoft Visio * Microsoft Word and Word Viewer Overview Microsoft has released updates that address critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, IIS, and Office.

Other versions of Excel, and other Office programs may be affected or act as attack vectors. Opening a specially crafted Excel document, including documents hosted on web sites or attached to email messages, could trigger the vulnerability. Office documents can contain embedded objects. For example, a malicious Excel document could be embedded in an Word or PowerPoint document. Office documents other than Excel documents could be used as attack vectors. If the user has administrative privileges, the attacker could gain complete control of the system. Solution At the time of writing, there is no complete solution available. Consider the following workarounds: Do not open untrusted Excel documents Do not open unfamiliar or unexpected Excel or other Office documents, including those received as email attachments or hosted on a web site. Please see Cyber Security Tip ST04-010 for more information. Do not rely on file extension filtering In most cases, Windows will call Excel to open a document even if the document has an unknown file extension. For example, if document.x1s (note the digit "1") contains the correct file header information, Windows will open document.x1s with Excel. ____________________________________________________________________ The most recent version of this document can be found at: <http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA06-167A.html> ____________________________________________________________________ Feedback can be directed to US-CERT Technical Staff
