Background ========== lm_sensors is a software package that provides drivers for monitoring the temperatures, voltages, and fans of Linux systems with hardware monitoring devices. When the pwmconfig script of lm_sensors is executed, this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the script, which typically is the root user. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All lm_sensors users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.9.1-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-2672 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2672 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200508-19.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Unspecified vulnerability in the SSL certificate checking functionality in Cisco CiscoWorks Management Center for IDS Sensors (IDSMC) 2.0 and 2.1, and Monitoring Center for Security (Security Monitor or Secmon) 1.1 through 2.0 and 2.1, allows remote attackers to spoof a Cisco Intrusion Detection Sensor (IDS) or Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). This issue is due to a failure of the software to properly validate SSL certificates. By spoofing these connections attackers may gain access to login credentials, aiding them in further attacks. Spoofed connections may also allow for the insertion of false data or the modification or destruction of other valid data contained in the affected management software. This allows attackers to hide the traces of their malicious activity, creating a false sense of security. Other attacks may also be possible

Unspecified vulnerability in the command line processing (CLI) logic in Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 5.0(1) and 5.0(2) allows local users with OPERATOR or VIEWER privileges to gain additional privileges via unknown vectors. Cisco IPS is susceptible to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. This issue is due to a flaw in the logic of the command line interface (CLI). These privileges are non-privileged accounts designated for monitoring and troubleshooting of IPS devices. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers may gain full administrative privileges on affected devices. This allows them to bypass the network security features of the device, aiding them in further attacks. Arbitrary code execution and denial of network services is also possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bist Du interessiert an einem neuen Job in IT-Sicherheit?

Computer Associates (CA) Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT) 1.05, 1.07 before Build 220_13, and 1.11 before Build 29_13 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via spoofed CAFT packets. CAM is prone to a vulnerability that could permit the spoofing of a CAFT application utilizing the CAM instance. This may ultimately allow the execution of arbitrary commands. CAFT is a file transfer application that utilizes CAM to send and receive the files. The problem presents itself due to a failure in the CAM service to verify the legitimacy of the CAFT application. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bist Du interessiert an einem neuen Job in IT-Sicherheit?

Behavioral discrepancy information leak in Juniper Netscreen VPN running ScreenOS 5.2.0 and earlier, when using IKE with pre-shared key authentication, allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames via an IKE Aggressive Mode packet, which generates a response if the username is valid but does not respond when the username is invalid. NetScreen ScreenOS of IKE In the protocol implementation, IKE User name included in aggressive mode messages (IKE ID) Is valid VPN There are vulnerabilities that respond differently depending on whether you are a user.An effective VPN You may get your username and password hash. This allows for attackers to obtain a list of valid VPN users. With a valid username, an attacker can obtain hashed credentials against which a brute force attack may be performed. A successful crack would mean that the attacker has complete access to the network. Netscreen is one of Juniper's leading line of networking and security products. Juniper Netscreen's integrated firewall/VPN product has a VPN user name enumeration vulnerability when performing VPN security tests for customers. Once a username is discovered, an attacker can use that username to get a hash from Netscreen and then crack the associated password offline. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bist Du interessiert an einem neuen Job in IT-Sicherheit?

Nortel Contivity VPN Client V05_01.030, when configuring a certificate to be used as authentication, does not properly drop system privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening a program with the File Open dialog box. Contivity is prone to a local security vulnerability

Unknown vulnerability in Linksys WRT54GS wireless router with firmware 4.50.6, with WPA Personal/TKIP authentication enabled, allows remote clients to bypass authentication by connecting without using encryption. Reportedly the device permits client devices that are using no encryption to connect when an encryption setting is being used. This results in a false sense of security. This issue is reported to affect firmware version 4.50.6; other firmware versions may also be affected. This issue also appears to have been addressed in firmware version 4.70.6; this has not been confirmed by Symantec or the vendor. Further information suggests this issue occurs when a firmware upgrade to version 4.50.6 has occurred but the unit has not been reset to factory defaults. Resetting the unit once the firmware has been upgraded is part of the recommended Linksys upgrade procedure. Linksys WRT54GS is a wireless router device that combines several functions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bist Du interessiert an einem neuen Job in IT-Sicherheit?
