| VAR-200708-0119 | CVE-2007-4241 | HP-UX upper Cisco Local Director of HP Controller Vulnerable to buffer overflow |
CVSS V2: 10.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Buffer overflow in ldcconn in Hewlett-Packard (HP) Controller for Cisco Local Director on HP-UX 11.11i allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string to TCP port 17781. HP-UX is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. Successful attacks will completely compromise affected computers.
HP-UX 11.11i is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. HP-UX is a UNIX operating system developed by HP. Remote attackers may use this vulnerability to control the server.

| VAR-200708-0527 | No CVE | Ipswitch IMail Server SEARCH Command Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 10.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Ipswitch IMail Server is a mail server bundled in the Ipswitch collaboration component. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the IMail server processing parameters of the SEARCH command request. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to control the server. The IMail server has a stack buffer overflow problem when dealing with multiple options of the SEARCH command (BEFORE, ON, SINCE, SENTBEFORE, SENTON, SENTSINCE). The remote attacker can trigger an overflow by submitting a malformed SEARCH request, resulting in arbitrary instructions. Ipswitch IMail Server and Collaboration Suite (ICS) are prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because these applications fail to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected applications. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
These versions are reported vulnerable to these issues:
Ipswitch Collaboration Suite (ICS) 2006
IMail Premium 2006.2 and 2006.21
Other versions may also be affected.

| VAR-200708-0466 | CVE-2007-2408 | Apple Safari of WebKit In Java Applet execution vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
WebKit in Apple Safari 3 Beta before Update 3.0.3 does not properly recognize an unchecked "Enable Java" setting, which allows remote attackers to execute Java applets via a crafted web page. Apple Safari is prone to a weakness that may result in the execution of potentially malicious Java applets. This issue results from a design error.
This weakness arises because the application fails to properly check a security setting.
Versions prior to Safari 3.0.3 Beta and Safari 3.0.3 Beta for Windows are vulnerable to this issue. Safari is the WEB browser bundled with the Apple family operating system by default. Safari provides an option to enable Java preferences
| VAR-200707-0675 | CVE-2008-1447 | Multiple DNS implementations vulnerable to cache poisoning |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: 6.8 Severity: MEDIUM |
The DNS protocol, as implemented in (1) BIND 8 and 9 before 9.5.0-P1, 9.4.2-P1, and 9.3.5-P1; (2) Microsoft DNS in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2; and other implementations allow remote attackers to spoof DNS traffic via a birthday attack that uses in-bailiwick referrals to conduct cache poisoning against recursive resolvers, related to insufficient randomness of DNS transaction IDs and source ports, aka "DNS Insufficient Socket Entropy Vulnerability" or "the Kaminsky bug.". Deficiencies in the DNS protocol and common DNS implementations facilitate DNS cache poisoning attacks. ISC (Internet Systems Consortiuim) BIND generates cryptographically weak DNS query IDs which could allow a remote attacker to poison DNS caches. In IP NAT filtering in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris series products, when a DNS server runs NAT, it incorrectly changes the original address of the data packet. When the destination address is a DNS port, it will allow remote attackers to bypass CVE-2008 -1447 security protection. And spoof the address returned by the DNS response.
RESOLUTION
The resolution is to discontinue the use of BIND/iX and migrate DNS services to another platform. This could be used to misdirect users and services;
i.e.
This update provides the latest stable BIND releases for all platforms
except Corporate Server/Desktop 3.0 and MNF2, which have been patched
to correct the issue.

Title: pdnsd: Denial of Service and cache poisoning
Date: January 11, 2009
Bugs: #231285
ID: 200901-03
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Two errors in pdnsd allow for Denial of Service and cache poisoning.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-dns/pdnsd < 1.2.7 >= 1.2.7
Description
===========
Two issues have been reported in pdnsd:
* The p_exec_query() function in src/dns_query.c does not properly
handle many entries in the answer section of a DNS reply, related to
a "dangling pointer bug" (CVE-2008-4194).
* The default value for query_port_start was set to 0, disabling UDP
source port randomization for outgoing queries (CVE-2008-1447). lead to the
redirection of web or mail traffic to malicious sites. The first issue
can be exploited by enticing pdnsd to send a query to a malicious DNS
server, or using the port randomization weakness, and might lead to a
Denial of Service.
Workaround
==========
Port randomization can be enabled by setting the "query_port_start"
option to 1024 which would resolve the CVE-2008-1447 issue.
Resolution
==========
All pdnsd users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/pdnsd-1.2.7"

3. Problem Description
I Security Issues
a. Setting ActiveX killbit
Starting from this release, VMware has set the killbit on its
ActiveX controls. Setting the killbit ensures that ActiveX
controls cannot run in Internet Explorer (IE), and avoids
security issues involving ActiveX controls in IE. See the
Microsoft KB article 240797 and the related references on this
topic.
Security vulnerabilities have been reported for ActiveX controls
provided by VMware when run in IE. Under specific circumstances,
exploitation of these ActiveX controls might result in denial-of-
service or can allow running of arbitrary code when the user
browses a malicious Web site or opens a malicious file in IE
browser. An attempt to run unsafe ActiveX controls in IE might
result in pop-up windows warning the user.
Note: IE can be configured to run unsafe ActiveX controls without
prompting. VMware recommends that you retain the default
settings in IE, which prompts when unsafe actions are
requested.
Earlier, VMware had issued knowledge base articles, KB 5965318 and
KB 9078920 on security issues with ActiveX controls. To avoid
malicious scripts that exploit ActiveX controls, do not enable
unsafe ActiveX objects in your browser settings. As a best
practice, do not browse untrusted Web sites as an administrator
and do not click OK or Yes if prompted by IE to allow certain
actions.
VMware would like to thank Julien Bachmann, Shennan Wang, Shinnai,
and Michal Bucko for reporting these issues to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2008-3691, CVE-2008-3692,
CVE-2008-3693, CVE-2008-3694, CVE-2008-3695, CVE-2007-5438, and
CVE-2008-3696 to the security issues with VMware ActiveX controls.

b. VMware ISAPI Extension Denial of Service
The Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) is
an API that extends the functionality of Internet Information
Server (IIS). VMware uses ISAPI extensions in its Server product.
One of the ISAPI extensions provided by VMware is vulnerable to a
remote denial of service. By sending a malformed request, IIS
might shut down. IIS 6.0 restarts automatically. However, IIS 5.0
does not restart automatically when its Startup Type is set to
Manual.

f. VMware Consolidated Backup(VCB) command-line utilities may expose
sensitive information
VMware Consolidated Backup command-line utilities accept the user
password through the -p command-line option. Users logged into the
service console could gain access to the username and password used
by VCB command-line utilities when such commands are running.
This patch resolves this issue by providing an alternative way of
passing the password used by VCB command-line utilities.
The following options are recommended for passing the password:
1. The password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf
(PASSWORD=xxxxx), and -p is not used in the command line.
/etc/backuptools.conf file permissions are read/write only
for root.
2. No password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf and the
-p option is not used in the command line. The user will be
prompted to enter a password.
ESX is not affected unless you use VCB.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2008-2101 to this issue.

II ESX Service Console rpm updates
a. update to bind
This update upgrades the service console rpms for bind-utils and
bind-lib to version 9.2.4-22.el3.
Version 9.2.4.-22.el3 addresses the recently discovered
vulnerability in the BIND software used for Domain Name
resolution (DNS). VMware doesn't install all the BIND packages
on ESX Server and is not vulnerable by default to the reported
vulnerability. Of the BIND packages, VMware only ships bind-util
and bind-lib in the service console and these components by
themselves cannot be used to setup a DNS server. Bind-lib and
bind-util are used in client DNS applications like nsupdate,
nslookup, etc.
VMware explicitly discourages installing applications like BIND
on the service console. In case the customer has installed BIND,
and the DNS server is configured to support recursive queries,
their ESX Server system is affected and they should replace BIND
with a patched version.
Note: ESX Server will use the DNS server on the network it is
on, so it is important to patch that DNS server.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2008-1447 to this issue.

At this time, it is not possible to implement the recommended
countermeasures in the GNU libc stub resolver. The following
workarounds are available:
1. Install a local BIND 9 resoler on the host, possibly in
forward-only mode. (Other caching resolvers can
be used instead.)
2. Rely on IP address spoofing protection if available. Successful
attacks must spoof the address of one of the resolvers, which may not
be possible if the network is guarded properly against IP spoofing
attacks (both from internal and external sources).
This DSA will be updated when patches for hardening the stub resolver
are available. Dan Kaminsky identified a
practical vector of DNS response spoofing and cache poisoning,
exploiting the limited entropy in a DNS transaction ID and lack of
UDP source port randomization in many DNS implementations. Scott
Kitterman noted that python-dns is vulnerable to this predictability,
as it randomizes neither its transaction ID nor its source port.
Taken together, this lack of entropy leaves applications using
python-dns to perform DNS queries highly susceptible to response
forgery.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.3.0-5.2+etch1.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-dns package.

| VAR-200707-0198 | CVE-2007-4023 | Aruba Mobility Controller Series cross-site scripting vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the login CGI program in Aruba Mobility Controller 2.5.4.18 and earlier, and 2.4.8.6-FIPS and earlier FIPS versions, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. Aruba Mobility Controller series, switch products from Aruba Networks, contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
This issue affects versions prior to Aruba Mobility Controller 2.5.4.18 and FIPS prior to 2.4.8.6-FIPS.

| VAR-200707-0544 | CVE-2007-0060 | plural CA Used in products Message Queuing Server Vulnerable to stack-based buffer overflow |
CVSS V2: 9.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Stack-based buffer overflow in the Message Queuing Server (Cam.exe) in CA (formerly Computer Associates) Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT) software before 1.11 Build 54_4 on Windows and NetWare, as used in CA Advantage Data Transport, eTrust Admin, certain BrightStor products, certain CleverPath products, and certain Unicenter products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted message to TCP port 3104. Multiple Computer Associates products are prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue affects the Message Queuing (CAM/CAFT) component. The application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.
A successful exploit will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the CAM service when processing malformed user requests. Remote attackers may use this vulnerability to control the server.

CA has made patches available for all affected products. These
patches are independent of the CA Software that installed CAM.
Simply select the patch appropriate to the platform, and the
installed version of CAM, and follow the patch application
instructions. You should also review the product home pages on
SupportConnect for any additional product specific instructions.
Solutions for CAM:
Platform Solution
Windows QO89945
NetWare QO89943
How to determine if you are affected:
Determining CAM versions:
Simply running camstat will return the version information in the
top line of the output on any platform. The camstat command is
located in the bin subfolder of the installation directory.
The example below indicates that CAM version 1.11 build 27
increment 2 is running.
E:\>camstat
CAM – machine.ca.com Version 1.11 (Build 27_2) up 0 days 1:16
Determining the CAM install directory:
Windows: The install location is specified by the %CAI_MSQ%
environment variable.
Unix/Linux/Mac: The /etc/catngcampath text file holds the CAM
install location.
Workaround:
The affected listening port can be disabled by creating or
updating CAM's configuration file, CAM.CFG, with the following
entry under the "*CONFIG" section:
*CONFIG
cas_port=0
The CA Messaging Server must be recycled in order for this to take
effect. We advise that products dependent upon CAM should be
shutdown prior to recycling CAM. Once dependent products have
been shutdown, CAM can be recycled with the following commands:
On Windows:
camclose
cam start
On NetWare:
load camclose
load cam start
Once CAM has been restarted, any CAM dependent products that were
shutdown can be restarted.

| VAR-200707-0263 | CVE-2007-3875 | CA Anti-Virus Such as arclib.dll Service disruption in (DoS) Vulnerabilities |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
arclib.dll before 7.3.0.9 in CA Anti-Virus (formerly eTrust Antivirus) 8 and certain other CA products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and loss of antivirus functionality) via an invalid "previous listing chunk number" field in a CHM file. Multiple Computer Associates products are prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because the applications fail to handle malformed CHM files.
Successfully exploiting this issue will cause the affected applications to stop responding, denying service to legitimate users.
This issue affects applications that use the 'arclib.dll' library versions prior to 7.3.0.9. The Arclib.DLL library in eTrust products has a security vulnerability. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

| VAR-200707-0187 | CVE-2007-4011 |
Cisco 4100 Service disruption in (DoS) Vulnerabilities
Related entries in the VARIoT exploits database: VAR-E-200707-0623 |
CVSS V2: 7.1 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Cisco 4100 and 4400, Airespace 4000, and Catalyst 6500 and 3750 Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software before 3.2 20070727, 4.0 before 20070727, and 4.1 before 4.1.180.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification or ARP storm) via a crafted unicast ARP request that (1) has a destination MAC address unknown to the Layer-2 infrastructure, aka CSCsj69233; or (2) occurs during Layer-3 roaming across IP subnets, aka CSCsj70841. Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is prone to multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities.
An attacker can exploit these issues to crash the device, denying service to legitimate users.
These issues affect Cisco Wireless LAN Control 3.2, 4.0, and 4.1; other versions may also be affected. Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) provide real-time communication between lightweight access points and other wireless-providing LAN controllers to perform centralized system-wide WLAN configuration and management functions. Vulnerable WLCs may mishandle unicast ARP requests from wireless clients, causing ARP storms. Both WLCs attached to the same set of Layer 2 VLANs must have wireless client contexts for this vulnerability to be exposed. This happens after using layer 3 (inter-subnet) roaming or when using guest WLAN (auto-anchor). This allows a second WLC to reprocess the ARP request and incorrectly re-forward the inclusion back to the network. This vulnerability is documented as CSCsj69233. In the case of Layer 3 (L3) roaming, wireless clients move from one controller to another, and the wireless LAN interfaces configured on different controllers are in different IP subnets. In this case, the unicast ARP may not be tunneled back to the anchor controller, but sent by the external controller to its native VLAN. This vulnerability is documented as CSCsj70841

Cisco 4100 and 4400, Airespace 4000, and Catalyst 6500 and 3750 Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software 4.1 before 4.1.180.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ARP storm) via a broadcast ARP packet that "targets the IP address of a known client context", aka CSCsj50374. Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is prone to multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities.
An attacker can exploit these issues to crash the device, denying service to legitimate users.
These issues affect Cisco Wireless LAN Control 3.2, 4.0, and 4.1; other versions may also be affected. Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) provide real-time communication between lightweight access points and other wireless-providing LAN controllers to perform centralized system-wide WLAN configuration and management functions. There is a vulnerability in the WLC's handling of unicast ARP traffic, and the LAN link between the wireless LAN controllers in the mobility group may be flooded with unicast ARP requests. Vulnerable WLCs may mishandle unicast ARP requests from wireless clients, causing ARP storms. Both WLCs attached to the same set of Layer 2 VLANs must have wireless client contexts for this vulnerability to be exposed. This happens after using layer 3 (inter-subnet) roaming or when using guest WLAN (auto-anchor). If multiple WLCs are installed on the corresponding VLAN, it will cause an ARP storm. This vulnerability is documented as CSCsj50374
| VAR-200707-0144 | CVE-2007-3959 | ICS of Ipswitch Instant Messaging of IM Server Service disruption in (DoS) Vulnerabilities |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The IM Server (aka IMserve or IMserver) 2.0.5.30 and probably earlier in Ipswitch Instant Messaging before 2.07 in Ipswitch Collaboration Suite (ICS) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via certain data to TCP port 5179 that overwrites a destructor, as reachable by the (1) DoAttachVideoSender, (2) DoAttachVideoReceiver, (3) DoAttachAudioSender, and (4) DoAttachAudioReceiver functions. (1) DoAttachVideoSender function (2) DoAttachVideoReceiver function (3) DoAttachAudioSender function (4) DoAttachAudioReceiver function. Ipswitch Instant Messaging Server is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the application fails to properly handle unexpected network data.
Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to crash the IM service, denying further instant messages for legitimate users.
Ipswitch IM Server 2.0.5.30 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. Ipswitch Instant Messaging is the instant messaging software bundled in the Ipswitch collaboration component. The vulnerable code can be reached through the following functions: DoAttachVideoSender DoAttachVideoReceiver DoAttachAudioSender DoAttachAudioReceiver.

| VAR-200711-0295 | CVE-2007-0011 | Citrix Access Gateway of Web Session hijack vulnerability in portal interface |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The web portal interface in Citrix Access Gateway (aka Citrix Advanced Access Control) before Advanced Edition 4.5 HF1 places a session ID in the URL, which allows context-dependent attackers to hijack sessions by reading "residual information", including the a referer log, browser history, or browser cache. " Residual information " Can be hijacked in the session. Citrix Access Gateway Standard and Advanced Edition are prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities. Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to:
- Obtain sensitive information
- Execute code remotely
- Hijack sessions
- Redirect users to arbitrary sites
- Make unauthorized configuration changes
Citrix has released patches for these vulnerabilities.
Note: This is a belated release to the mailing lists (though most of the
tracking services picked this up via the Citrix advisory)...
-- History --
Discovered: 05.09.06 (Martin O'Neal)
Vendor notified: 19.10.06
Document released: 20.07.07
-- Overview --
Citrix Access Gateways are described [1] as "universal SSL VPN
appliances providing a secure, always-on, single point-of-access to an
organization's applications and data".
Amongst other features, the product provides a web portal to corporate
applications and resources.
-- Analysis --
The web portal interface incorporates a collection of .NET scripts,
which utilise a session ID contained within cookies. During the
authentication sequence the user session is redirected via a HTTP meta
refresh header in an HTML response. The browser subsequently uses this
within the next GET request (and the referer header field of the next
HTTP request), placing the session ID in history files, and both client
and server logs. The use of the session ID within the HTML content is
made worse by the application not setting the HTTP cache control headers
appropriately, which can lead to the HTML content being stored within
the local browser cache.
Where this is a particularly problem, is where the web portal is
accessed from a shared or public access terminal, such as an Internet
Caf,; the very environment that this type of solution is intended for.
Strong authentication technology, such as SecurID 2FA, does not protect
against this style of attack, as the session ID is generated after the
strong authentication process is completed.
-- Recommendations --
Review the recommendations in the Citrix alert [2].
Until the product is upgraded, consider reviewing you remote access

The Full Featured Secunia Network Software Inspector (NSI) is now
available:
http://secunia.com/network_software_inspector/
The Secunia NSI enables you to INSPECT, DISCOVER, and DOCUMENT
vulnerabilities in more than 4,000 different Windows applications.
1) A security issue due to residual information left on the client
device can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to a user\x92s
active session.
2) Multiple unspecified errors in client components (Net6Helper.DLL
and npCtxCAO.dll as ActiveX control and Firefox plugin) of Access
Gateway Standard and Advanced Editions can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code in context of the logged-in user.
3) The web-based administration console of an Access Gateway
appliance allows administrator to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to e.g. change certain configuration
settings, by enticing a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious
web site.
A redirection issue that may facilitate phishing attacks has also
been reported.
SOLUTION:
Apply hotfix and update firmware to version 4.5.5.
