Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Visionary Technology in Library Solutions (VTLS) vtls.web.gateway before 48.1.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the searchtype parameter. Web Gateway is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. 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 to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. This issue affects versions prior to Web Gateway 48.1.1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003: 2,700 advisories published 2004: 3,100 advisories published 2005: 4,600 advisories published 2006: 5,300 advisories published How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?

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.". The Microsoft Windows DNS Server is vulnerable to cache poisoning, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Windows DNS server to provide incorrect responses to DNS queries. Deficiencies in the DNS protocol and common DNS implementations facilitate DNS cache poisoning attacks. Multiple vendors' implementations of the DNS protocol are prone to a DNS-spoofing vulnerability because the software fails to securely implement random values when performing DNS queries. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to spoof DNS replies, allowing them to redirect network traffic and to launch man-in-the-middle attacks.

Security Advisory (08-AUG-2008) (CVE-2008-3280) =============================================== Ben Laurie of Google's Applied Security team, while working with an external researcher, Dr. Richard Clayton of the Computer Laboratory, Cambridge University, found that various OpenID Providers (OPs) had TLS Server Certificates that used weak keys, as a result of the Debian Predictable Random Number Generator (CVE-2008-0166). In combination with the DNS Cache Poisoning issue (CVE-2008-1447) and the fact that almost all SSL/TLS implementations do not consult CRLs (currently an untracked issue), this means that it is impossible to rely on these OPs. Attack Description ------------------ In order to mount an attack against a vulnerable OP, the attacker first finds the private key corresponding to the weak TLS certificate. He then sets up a website masquerading as the original OP, both for the OpenID protocol and also for HTTP/HTTPS. There are two cases, one is where the victim is a user trying to identify themselves, in which case, even if they use HTTPS to "ensure" that the site they are visiting is indeed their provider, they will be unable to detect the substitution and will give their login credentials to the attacker. The second case is where the victim is the Relying Party (RP). In this case, even if the RP uses TLS to connect to the OP, as is recommended for higher assurance, he will not be defended, as the vast majority of OpenID implementations do not check CRLs, and will, therefore, accept the malicious site as the true OP. Mitigation ---------- Mitigation is surprisingly hard. In theory the vulnerable site should revoke their weak certificate and issue a new one. However, since the CRLs will almost certainly not be checked, this means the site will still be vulnerable to attack for the lifetime of the certificate (and perhaps beyond, depending on user behaviour). Note that shutting down the site DOES NOT prevent the attack. Therefore mitigation falls to other parties. Browsers must check CRLs by default. OpenID libraries must check CRLs. Until either 1 and 2 or 3 have been done, OpenID cannot be trusted for any OP that cannot demonstrate it has never had a weak certificate. Discussion ---------- Normally, when security problems are encountered with a single piece of software, the responsible thing to do is to is to wait until fixes are available before making any announcement. However, as a number of examples in the past have demonstrated, this approach does not work particularly well when many different pieces of software are involved because it is necessary to coordinate a simultaneous release of the fixes, whilst hoping that the very large number of people involved will cooperate in keeping the vulnerability secret. In the present situation, the fixes will involve considerable development work in adding CRL handling to a great many pieces of openID code. This is a far from trivial amount of work. The fixes will also involve changes to browser preferences to ensure that CRLs are checked by default -- which many vendors have resisted for years. We are extremely pessimistic that a security vulnerability in OpenID will be seen as sufficiently important to change the browser vendors minds. Hence, we see no value in delaying this announcement; and by making the details public as soon as possible, we believe that individuals who rely on OpenID will be better able to take their own individual steps to avoid relying upon the flawed certificates we have identified. OpenID is at heart quite a weak protocol, when used in its most general form[1], and consequently there is very limited reliance upon its security. This means that the consequences of the combination of attacks that are now possible is nothing like as serious as might otherwise have been the case. However, it does give an insight into the type of security disaster that may occur in the future if we do not start to take CRLs seriously, but merely stick them onto "to-do" lists or disable them in the name of tiny performance improvements. Affected Sites -------------- There is no central registry of OpenID systems, and so we cannot be sure that we have identified all of the weak certificates that are currently being served. The list of those we have found so far is: openid.sun.com www.xopenid.net openid.net.nz Notes ----- [1] There are ways of using OpenID that are significantly more secure than the commonly deployed scheme, I shall describe those in a separate article. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/ . 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. There are two ways to deal with this situation: 1. The documentation included with BIND 9 contains a migration guide. Configure the BIND 8 resolver to forward queries to a BIND 9 resolver. Provided that the network between both resolvers is trusted, this protects the BIND 8 resolver from cache poisoning attacks (to the same degree that the BIND 9 resolver is protected). It is theoretically possible to safely use BIND 8 in this way, but updating to BIND 9 is strongly recommended. BIND 8 (that is, the bind package) will be removed from the etch distribution in a future point release. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA08-190B Multiple DNS implementations vulnerable to cache poisoning Original release date: July 08, 2008 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT Systems Affected Systems implementing: * Caching DNS resolvers * DNS stub resolvers Affected systems include both client and server systems, and any other networked systems that include this functionality. Effective attack techniques against these vulnerabilities have been demonstrated. Examples of these vulnerabilities can be found in Vulnerability Note VU#800113. Recent research into these and other related vulnerabilities has produced extremely effective exploitation methods to achieve cache poisoning. Tools and techniques have been developed that can reliably poison a domain of the attacker's choosing on most current implementations. As a result, the consensus of DNS software implementers is to implement source port randomization in their resolvers as a mitigation. II. Impact An attacker with the ability to conduct a successful cache poisoning attack can cause a nameserver's clients to contact the incorrect, and possibly malicious, hosts for particular services. Consequently, web traffic, email, and other important network data can be redirected to systems under the attacker's control. III. Solution Apply a patch from your vendor Patches have been released by a number of vendors to implement source port randomization in the nameserver. This change significantly reduces the practicality of cache poisoning attacks. Please see the Systems Affected section of Vulnerability Note VU#800113 for additional details for specific vendors. As mentioned above, stub resolvers are also vulnerable to these attacks. Stub resolvers that will issue queries in response to attacker behavior, and may receive packets from an attacker, should be patched. System administrators should be alert for patches to client operating systems that implement port randomization in the stub resolver. Workarounds Restrict access Administrators, particularly those who are unable to apply a patch, can limit exposure to this vulnerability by restricting sources that can ask for recursion. Note that restricting access will still allow attackers with access to authorized hosts to exploit this vulnerability. Filter traffic at network perimeters Because the ability to spoof IP addresses is necessary to conduct these attacks, administrators should take care to filter spoofed addresses at the network perimeter. IETF Request for Comments (RFC) documents RFC 2827, RFC 3704, and RFC 3013 describe best current practices (BCPs) for implementing this defense. It is important to understand your network's configuration and service requirements before deciding what changes are appropriate. Run a local DNS cache In lieu of strong port randomization characteristics in a stub resolver, administrators can protect their systems by using local caching full-service resolvers, both on the client systems and on servers that are topologically close on the network to the client systems. This should be done in conjunction with the network segmentation and filtering strategies mentioned above. Disable recursion Disable recursion on any nameserver responding to DNS requests made by untrusted systems. Implement source port randomization Vendors that implement DNS software are encouraged to review IETF Internet Draft, "Measures for making DNS more resilient against forged answers," for additional information about implementing mitigations in their products. This document is a work in progress and may change prior to its publication as an RFC, if it is approved. IV.

Background ========== Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language. The elaborate standard library includes an HTTP server ("WEBRick") and a class for XML parsing ("REXML"). Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-lang/ruby < 1.8.6_p287-r1 >= 1.8.6_p287-r1 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Ruby interpreter and its standard libraries. Drew Yao of Apple Product Security discovered the following flaws: * Arbitrary code execution or Denial of Service (memory corruption) in the rb_str_buf_append() function (CVE-2008-2662). * Arbitrary code execution or Denial of Service (memory corruption) in the rb_ary_stor() function (CVE-2008-2663). * Memory corruption via alloca in the rb_str_format() function (CVE-2008-2664). * Memory corruption ("REALLOC_N") in the rb_ary_splice() and rb_ary_replace() functions (CVE-2008-2725). * Memory corruption ("beg + rlen") in the rb_ary_splice() and rb_ary_replace() functions (CVE-2008-2726). Furthermore, several other vulnerabilities have been reported: * Tanaka Akira reported an issue with resolv.rb that enables attackers to spoof DNS responses (CVE-2008-1447). * Akira Tagoh of RedHat discovered a Denial of Service (crash) issue in the rb_ary_fill() function in array.c (CVE-2008-2376). * Several safe level bypass vulnerabilities were discovered and reported by Keita Yamaguchi (CVE-2008-3655). * Christian Neukirchen is credited for discovering a Denial of Service (CPU consumption) attack in the WEBRick HTTP server (CVE-2008-3656). * A fault in the dl module allowed the circumvention of taintness checks which could possibly lead to insecure code execution was reported by "sheepman" (CVE-2008-3657). * Tanaka Akira again found a DNS spoofing vulnerability caused by the resolv.rb implementation using poor randomness (CVE-2008-3905). * Luka Treiber and Mitja Kolsek (ACROS Security) disclosed a Denial of Service (CPU consumption) vulnerability in the REXML module when dealing with recursive entity expansion (CVE-2008-3790). Impact ====== These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, spoof DNS responses, bypass Ruby's built-in security and taintness checks, and cause a Denial of Service via crash or CPU exhaustion.

The 3.0.1 patches are released in August because there was no patch release in July. 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.

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.

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.

The fix, while correct, was incompatible with the version of SELinux Reference Policy shipped with Debian Etch, which did not permit a process running in the named_t domain to bind sockets to UDP ports other than the standard 'domain' port (53). The incompatibility affects both the 'targeted' and 'strict' policy packages supplied by this version of refpolicy. When installed, the updated packages will attempt to update the bind policy module on systems where it had been previously loaded and where the previous version of refpolicy was 0.0.20061018-5 or below. Because the Debian refpolicy packages are not yet designed with policy module upgradeability in mind, and because SELinux-enabled Debian systems often have some degree of site-specific policy customization, it is difficult to assure that the new bind policy can be successfully upgraded. The new policy module can be found at /usr/share/selinux/refpolicy-targeted/bind.pp after installation. Administrators wishing to use the bind service policy can reconcile any policy incompatibilities and install the upgrade manually thereafter. This update also switches the random number generator to Dan Bernstein's SURF. Packages for alpha will be provided later. This change increases the size of the space from which an attacker has to guess values in a backwards-compatible fashion and makes successful attacks significantly more difficult. Note that this security update changes BIND network behavior in a fundamental way, and the following steps are recommended to ensure a smooth upgrade. Make sure that your network configuration is compatible with source port randomization. If you guard your resolver with a stateless packet filter, you may need to make sure that no non-DNS services listen on on the 1024--65535 UDP port range and open it at the packet filter. For instance, packet filters based on etch's Linux 2.6.18 kernel only support stateless filtering of IPv6 packets, and are therefore pose this additional difficulty. (If you use IPv4 with iptables and ESTABLISHED rules, networking changes are likely not required.) 2. Install the BIND 9 upgrade, using "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get install bind9". Verify that the named process has been restarted and answers recursive queries. (If all queries result in timeouts, this indicates that networking changes are necessary; see the first step.) 3. Verify that source port randomization is active. Check that the /var/log/daemon.log file does not contain messages of the following form named[6106]: /etc/bind/named.conf.options:28: using specific query-source port suppresses port randomization and can be insecure. right after the "listening on IPv6 interface" and "listening on IPv4 interface" messages logged by BIND upon startup. If these messages are present, you should remove the indicated lines from the configuration, or replace the port numbers contained within them with "*" sign (e.g., replace "port 53" with "port *"). For additional certainty, use tcpdump or some other network monitoring tool to check for varying UDP source ports. If you cannot activate source port randomization, consider configuring BIND 9 to forward queries to a resolver which can, possibly over a VPN such as OpenVPN to create the necessary trusted network link. (Use BIND's forward-only mode in this case.) Other caching resolvers distributed by Debian (PowerDNS, MaraDNS, Unbound) already employ source port randomization, and no updated packages are needed. BIND 9.5 up to and including version 1:9.5.0.dfsg-4 only implements a weak form of source port randomization and needs to be updated as well. For information on BIND 8, see DSA-1604-1, and for the status of the libc stub resolver, see DSA-1605-1. The updated bind9 packages contain changes originally scheduled for the next stable point release, including the changed IP address of L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET (Debian bug #449148). For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 9.3.4-2etch3. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 package. Upgrade instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 4) A race condition exists in the "CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource" API, which can lead to files being created with insecure permissions. 5) A boundary error exists in the printer driver for CUPS. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and allows an admin user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges by passing a specially crafted URI to the CUPS service. 6) A boundary error in CUPS can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27233 7) An integer underflow error in the CUPS backend in the handling of SNMP responses can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted SNMP response. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that SNMP is enabled. 8) A boundary error in Desktop Services can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a user opens a directory containing a specially crafted .DS_Store file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 9) An input validation error in tar can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA26573 10) An unspecified error in iChat can be exploited by malicious people on the local network to initiate a video connection without the user's approval. 11) An unspecified error exists within IO Storage Family when handling GUID partition maps within a disk image. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is enticed to open a specially crafted disk image. 12) Launch Services does not handle HTML files as potentially unsafe content. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information or conduct cross-site scripting attacks by enticing a user to open a specially crafted HTML file. 13) A vulnerability in Mail in the handling of unsafe file types can be exploited to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA27785 14) An error in Mail can cause the application to default to SMTP plaintext authentication if the server supports only MD5 Challenge-Response authentication and plaintext authentication. 15) Some vulnerabilities in perl can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27546 16) A security issue in python can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA26837 17) Plug-ins in Quick Look are not restricted from making network requests. This may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information when previewing an HTML file. 18) URLs contained in movie files may be accessed when creating an icon for a movie file or previewing a movie file using QuickLook. 19) Some security issues in ruby can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks. For more information: SA26985 20) Some vulnerabilities and a security issue in Ruby on Rails can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or to conduct session fixation attacks. For more information: SA25699 SA27781 21) An error in Safari allows a page to navigate the subframes of any other page. This can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and to disclose sensitive information when a user visits a specially crafted web page. 22) An unspecified error in Safari in the handling of RSS feeds can be exploited to cause a memory corruption and may allow execution of arbitrary code when a user accesses a specially crafted URL. 23) Some boundary errors in Samba can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27450 24) Some boundary errors in the Shockwave Plug-in can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA19218 25) A boundary error in the processing of command line arguments to "mount_smbfs" and "smbutil" can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with system privileges. 26) The distribution definition file used in Software Update is received by using HTTP without any authentication and allows execution of arbitrary commands. Successful exploitation requires a MitM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack. 27) An error due to an insecure file operation exists in the handling of output files in SpinTracer. This may allow a malicious, local user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges. 28) An unspecified error exists in the Microsoft Office Spotlight Importer, which can be exploited to cause a memory corruption when a user downloads a specially crafted .xls file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 29) Some vulnerabilities in tcpdump can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS or to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA24318 SA26135 30) Some vulnerabilities exist the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library used by XQuery, which can potentially be exploited to compromise a vulnerable system.

Unspecified vulnerability in Spotlight in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application termination) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted .XLS file that triggers memory corruption in the Microsoft Office Spotlight Importer. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including Address Book, CFNetwork, ColorSync, CoreFoundation, CUPS, Desktop Services, iChat, IO Storage Family, Launch Services, Mail, Quick Look, Safari, Safari RSS, SMB, Software Update, Spin Tracer, Spotlight, tcpdump, and XQuery. Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers. Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues. If a user is tricked into downloading a malicious .xls file, an attacker could cause the application to terminate unexpectedly or execute arbitrary commands. I. Further details are available in the related vulnerability notes. These products include: * Adobe Flash * Adobe Shockwave * GNU Tar II. Impact The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure, surreptitious video conference initiation, and denial of service. III.

Directory traversal vulnerability in CFNetwork in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted HTTP response. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including Address Book, CFNetwork, ColorSync, CoreFoundation, CUPS, Desktop Services, iChat, IO Storage Family, Launch Services, Mail, Quick Look, Safari, Safari RSS, SMB, Software Update, Spin Tracer, Spotlight, tcpdump, and XQuery. Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers. Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues. If a user is tricked into visiting a malicious site, the attacker could cause the file to be automatically downloaded to any folder to which the user has write permissions. I. Further details are available in the related vulnerability notes. These products include: * Adobe Flash * Adobe Shockwave * GNU Tar II. Impact The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure, surreptitious video conference initiation, and denial of service. III.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 4) A race condition exists in the "CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource" API, which can lead to files being created with insecure permissions. 5) A boundary error exists in the printer driver for CUPS. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and allows an admin user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges by passing a specially crafted URI to the CUPS service. 6) A boundary error in CUPS can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27233 7) An integer underflow error in the CUPS backend in the handling of SNMP responses can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted SNMP response. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that SNMP is enabled. 8) A boundary error in Desktop Services can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a user opens a directory containing a specially crafted .DS_Store file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 9) An input validation error in tar can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA26573 10) An unspecified error in iChat can be exploited by malicious people on the local network to initiate a video connection without the user's approval. 11) An unspecified error exists within IO Storage Family when handling GUID partition maps within a disk image. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is enticed to open a specially crafted disk image. 12) Launch Services does not handle HTML files as potentially unsafe content. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information or conduct cross-site scripting attacks by enticing a user to open a specially crafted HTML file. 13) A vulnerability in Mail in the handling of unsafe file types can be exploited to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA27785 14) An error in Mail can cause the application to default to SMTP plaintext authentication if the server supports only MD5 Challenge-Response authentication and plaintext authentication. 15) Some vulnerabilities in perl can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27546 16) A security issue in python can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA26837 17) Plug-ins in Quick Look are not restricted from making network requests. This may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information when previewing an HTML file. 18) URLs contained in movie files may be accessed when creating an icon for a movie file or previewing a movie file using QuickLook. 19) Some security issues in ruby can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 4) A race condition exists in the "CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource" API, which can lead to files being created with insecure permissions. 5) A boundary error exists in the printer driver for CUPS. 6) A boundary error in CUPS can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27233 7) An integer underflow error in the CUPS backend in the handling of SNMP responses can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted SNMP response. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that SNMP is enabled. 8) A boundary error in Desktop Services can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a user opens a directory containing a specially crafted .DS_Store file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 9) An input validation error in tar can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA26573 10) An unspecified error in iChat can be exploited by malicious people on the local network to initiate a video connection without the user's approval. 11) An unspecified error exists within IO Storage Family when handling GUID partition maps within a disk image. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is enticed to open a specially crafted disk image. 12) Launch Services does not handle HTML files as potentially unsafe content. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information or conduct cross-site scripting attacks by enticing a user to open a specially crafted HTML file. 13) A vulnerability in Mail in the handling of unsafe file types can be exploited to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA27785 14) An error in Mail can cause the application to default to SMTP plaintext authentication if the server supports only MD5 Challenge-Response authentication and plaintext authentication. 15) Some vulnerabilities in perl can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27546 16) A security issue in python can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA26837 17) Plug-ins in Quick Look are not restricted from making network requests. This may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information when previewing an HTML file. 18) URLs contained in movie files may be accessed when creating an icon for a movie file or previewing a movie file using QuickLook. 19) Some security issues in ruby can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks. For more information: SA26985 20) Some vulnerabilities and a security issue in Ruby on Rails can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or to conduct session fixation attacks. For more information: SA25699 SA27781 21) An error in Safari allows a page to navigate the subframes of any other page. This can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and to disclose sensitive information when a user visits a specially crafted web page. 22) An unspecified error in Safari in the handling of RSS feeds can be exploited to cause a memory corruption and may allow execution of arbitrary code when a user accesses a specially crafted URL. 23) Some boundary errors in Samba can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27450 24) Some boundary errors in the Shockwave Plug-in can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA19218 25) A boundary error in the processing of command line arguments to "mount_smbfs" and "smbutil" can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with system privileges. 26) The distribution definition file used in Software Update is received by using HTTP without any authentication and allows execution of arbitrary commands. Successful exploitation requires a MitM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack. 27) An error due to an insecure file operation exists in the handling of output files in SpinTracer. This may allow a malicious, local user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges. 28) An unspecified error exists in the Microsoft Office Spotlight Importer, which can be exploited to cause a memory corruption when a user downloads a specially crafted .xls file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 29) Some vulnerabilities in tcpdump can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS or to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA24318 SA26135 30) Some vulnerabilities exist the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library used by XQuery, which can potentially be exploited to compromise a vulnerable system.

The Red Hat Security Team also found two flaws in CUPS 1.1.x where a malicious user on the local subnet could send a set of carefully crafted IPP packets to the UDP port in such a way as to cause CUPS to crash (CVE-2008-0597) or consume memory and lead to a CUPS crash (CVE-2008-0596). Finally, another flaw was found in how CUPS handled the addition and removal of remote printers via IPP that could allow a remote attacker to send a malicious IPP packet to the UDP port causing CUPS to crash (CVE-2008-0882). _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5848 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0596 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0597 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0886 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 3.0: 71c1bd1c9099440da3e9afcfe4636525 corporate/3.0/i586/cups-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.i586.rpm a73fba38dbcf62fd4c64590e5d754126 corporate/3.0/i586/cups-common-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.i586.rpm 60b6e82788d5b0c51f68b0db44e31240 corporate/3.0/i586/cups-serial-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.i586.rpm 419d078e2df1396531c23cbbf2f2785d corporate/3.0/i586/libcups2-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.i586.rpm 064e5b42b27c90602bf8e7c47200bef8 corporate/3.0/i586/libcups2-devel-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.i586.rpm 5c363b9a8573a4ae3da5e654da34bae5 corporate/3.0/SRPMS/cups-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0/X86_64: c33aff1c5bab9bce22f7a018f2fbfe7d corporate/3.0/x86_64/cups-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm ba1cba41b479e332e8d43652af86756d corporate/3.0/x86_64/cups-common-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm 211561645f6743343a0a9189ecd8e24e corporate/3.0/x86_64/cups-serial-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm d1cb2198f9b73cfb5d2ae3d69bacf12c corporate/3.0/x86_64/lib64cups2-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm 104350956cda23c2e2f5bb05a22df9c7 corporate/3.0/x86_64/lib64cups2-devel-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm 5c363b9a8573a4ae3da5e654da34bae5 corporate/3.0/SRPMS/cups-1.1.20-5.16.C30mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
