| VAR-200604-0268 | CVE-2006-1984 | Apple Mac OS X Multiple heap overflow vulnerabilities |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Unspecified vulnerability in the _cg_TIFFSetField function in Mac OS X 10.4.6 and earlier, as used in applications that use ImageIO or AppKit, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image that triggers a null dereference. Apple Mac OS X is reported prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issue affect Mac OS X and various applications including Safari, Preview, Finder, QuickTime, and BOMArchiveHelper. A remote attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code and/or trigger a denial-of-service condition.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.6 and prior are reported vulnerable to these issues.
These issue affect Mac OS X in the following applications or modules:
- AppKit
- ImageIO
- BOM
- CFNetwork
- ClamAV
- CoreFoundation
- CoreGraphics
- Finder
- FTPServer
- Flash Player
- ImageIO
- Keychain
- LaunchServices
- libcurl
- Mail
- MySQL Manager
- Preview
- QuickDraw
- QuickTime Streaming Server
- Ruby
- Safari
A remote attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger a denial-of-service condition, gain access to potentially sensitive information, or overwrite files. Other attacks may also be possible. When parsing malformed .tiff graphic files, LZWDecodeVector(), _cg_TIFFSetField () or PredictorVSetField () functions do not correctly parse the malformed data, resulting in the failure to open the graphic Application crashes. The vulnerability is triggered by the core .tiff parsing engine, so Preview, Finder, QuickTime, and Safari are all possible attack vectors. 2 When decompressing a specially crafted .zip file, the BOMStackPop () function does not correctly parse the malformed data, resulting in a heap overflow vulnerability. 4 When decompressing a specially crafted .bmp file, the ReadBMP () function does not correctly parse the malformed data, resulting in a heap overflow vulnerability. 5 When decompressing a specially crafted .gif file, the CFAllocatorAllocate () function does not correctly parse the malformed data, resulting in a heap overflow vulnerability.
1) An error exists in the "BOMStackPop()" function in the
BOMArchiveHelper when decompressing malformed ZIP archives.
2) Some errors exists in the "KWQListIteratorImpl()", "drawText()",
and "objc_msgSend_rtp()" functions in Safari when processing
malformed HTML tags.
3) An error exists in the "ReadBMP()" function when processing
malformed BMP images and can be exploited via e.g. Safari or the
Preview application. Safari
when a user visits a malicious web site.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 10.4.6. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not visit untrusted web sites, and do not open ZIP archives or
images originating from untrusted sources.
1) An error in the AppKit framework allows an application to read
characters entered into secure text field in the same window
session.
2) Errors in the AppKit and ImageIO framework when processing GIF and
TIFF images can be exploited to crash an application or potentially
execute arbitrary code.

may allow execution of arbitrary code.
9) An error in the CoreGraphics component allows an application in
the same window session to read characters entered into secure text
field when "Enable access for assistive devices" is enabled.
10) An error in Finder within the handling of Internet Location items
makes it possible to specify a different Internet Location type than
the actual URL scheme used. This may allow execution of arbitrary
code when launching an Internet Location item.
11) Boundary errors in the FTPServer component when handling path
names can be exploited to malicious users to cause a buffer overflow,
which may allow execution of arbitrary code.
12) Various errors in the Flash Player makes it possible to
compromise a user's system via specially crafted Flash files.
For more information:
SA17430
SA19218
13) An integer overflow error in the ImageIO framework when
processing JPEG images can be exploited to crash an application or
potentially execute arbitrary code.
14) An error in the Keychain component allows an application to use
Keychain items even when the Keychain is locked. This requires that
the application has obtained a reference to a Keychain item before
the Keychain was locked.
15) An error in the LaunchServices component when processing long
filename extensions may allow bypassing of the Download Validation
functionality.
16) Boundary errors in the libcurl URL handling may allow execution
of arbitrary code.

during initial setup is not used.
20) A boundary error in the Preview component may allow execution of
arbitrary code via a stack-based buffer overflow when navigating a
specially crafted directory hierarchy.
21) Two boundary errors in the QuickDraw component when processing of
PICT images can be exploited to either cause a stack-based via a PICT
image with specially crafted font information or a heap-based buffer
overflow via a PICT image with specially crafted image data.
22) A NULL pointer dereference error in QuickTime Streaming Server
when processing QuickTime movies with a missing track can be
exploited to crash the application.
23) A boundary error in QuickTime Streaming Server when processing
RTSP requests can be exploited to crash the application or
potentially execute arbitrary code.
24) An error in Ruby can be exploited to bypass safe level
restrictions.
For more information:

| VAR-200810-0184 | CVE-2008-3271 | Apache Tomcat allows access from a non-permitted IP address |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.31 allows remote attackers to bypass an IP address restriction and obtain sensitive information via a request that is processed concurrently with another request but in a different thread, leading to an instance-variable overwrite associated with a "synchronization problem" and lack of thread safety, and related to RemoteFilterValve, RemoteAddrValve, and RemoteHostValve. Apache Tomcat from The Apache Software Foundation contains a vulnerability which may allow a user from a non-premitted IP address to gain access. Apache Tomcat from the Apache Software Foundation is an implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Page (JSP) technologies. Apache Tomcat contains a vulnerability which may allow a user from a non-permitted IP address to gain access to a protected context. This vulnerability was addressed and solved in ASF Bugzilla - Bug 25835. However there was no description regarding this vulnerability in ASF Bugzilla - Bug 25835. Therefore, The Apache Tomcat Development Team has decided to publish an advisory regarding this issue. Kenichi Tsukamoto of Development Dept. II Application Management Middleware Div. FUJITSU LIMITED reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with The Apache Software Foundation and the vendors under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.Impact varies depending on the accessed context by the non-permitted IP address. For example information disclosure may be possible as a result. Apache Tomcat is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability related to extensions of 'RemoteFilterValve'.
Attackers may be able to bypass certain access restrictions.
The following versions are vulnerable:
Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.32
Tomcat 5.5.0.

IMPACT:
DoS
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Apache Tomcat 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/3571/
DESCRIPTION:
David Maciejak has discovered a vulnerability in Apache Tomcat, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to the inefficient generation of
directory listing for web directories that has a large number of
files. By sending multiple concurrent requests for such a directory,
it is possible to prevent other users from accessing the directory
and causes the server to consume a large amount of CPU resources. The
vulnerability affects only the directory that is being listed. Files
or applications in other web directories are not affected.
Successful exploitation requires that directory listing is enabled in
a directory with a large number of files.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in Tomcat version 5.5.11 and
5.5.12 on the Windows platform, and has been reported in versions
5.5.0 through 5.5.11. Other versions may also be affected.
Note: In version 5.5.12, the server will resume normal operation
after a few minutes.
SOLUTION:
The vulnerability has been partially addressed in version 5.5.12,
which will resume normal operation after a few minutes.
Disable directory listing for web directories that has a large number
of files.

Mitigation:
Upgrade to:
4.1.32 or later
5.5.1 or later
6.0.0 or later
Example:
This has only been reproduced using a debugger to force a particular
processing sequence across two threads.
1. Set a breakpoint right after the place where a value
is to be entered in the instance variable of regexp
(search:org.apache.regexp.CharacterIterator).
2. Send a request from the IP address* which is not permitted.
(stopped at the breakpoint)
*About the IP address which is not permitted.
The character strings length of the IP address which is set
in RemoteAddrValve must be same.
3. Send a request from the IP address which was set in
RemoteAddrValve.
(stopped at the breakpoint)
In this way, the instance variable is to be overwritten here.
4. Resume the thread which is processing the step 2 above.
5. The request from the not permitted IP address will succeed.

Vulnerable version tested are 5.5.0 to 5.5.11.
5.5.12 and 5.0.28 seems not to be impacted.
A easy way to test :
-Download Tomcat package from Tomcat archive
-Unpack it, use default configuration
-In webapps example dir, add some empty files (enough for the dir listing
request to be long)
-Thread many listing access on this directory
Workaround:
Upgrade to linux version 5.5.12

that extends "RemoteFilterValve" and potentially gain access to
protected contexts.
The security issue is reported in the following products and
versions:
* WebOTX Web Edition version 4.x through 5.x
* WebOTX Standard-J Edition version 4.x through 5.x
* WebOTX Standard Edition version 4.x through 5.x
* WebOTX Enterprise Edition version 4.x through 5.x

| VAR-200511-0172 | CVE-2005-2753 | Apple QuickTime Embedded Pascal Style Remote Integer Overflow Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.1 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Integer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.0.3 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MOV file that causes a sign extension of the length element in a Pascal style string. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate integer signed-ness prior to using it to carry out critical operations.
An attacker may leverage this issue to cause the affected QuickTime client to crash, denying service to legitimate users. It has been speculated that this issue may also facilitate code execution; any code execution would occur with the privileges of the user that activated the affected software.
This issue affects both Microsoft Windows, and Apple versions of QuickTime.

| VAR-200511-0349 | CVE-2005-3482 | Cisco Airespace wireless LAN Controller allows unencrypted network access vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Cisco 1200, 1131, and 1240 series Access Points, when operating in Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) mode and controlled by 2000 and 4400 series Airespace WLAN controllers running 3.1.59.24, allow remote attackers to send unencrypted traffic to a secure network using frames with the MAC address of an authenticated end host. Cisco Airespace WLAN (Wireless LAN) devices are prone to an issue that may permit unauthorized parties to access a secure network. This may bypass the security of the wireless network as it may permit unauthorized access by hosts that have not authenticated. Legitimate end hosts can still communicate encrypted with the access point.
The vulnerability is caused due to the WLAN controller accepting
unencrypted traffic from end hosts even when it is configured to
perform encryption.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.1.105.0 of the WLAN Controller software.
Cisco 2000 Series WLAN Controller:

| VAR-200511-0348 | CVE-2005-3481 | Cisco IOS heap integrity checks are insufficient |
CVSS V2: 9.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Cisco IOS 12.0 to 12.4 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a heap-based buffer overflow in system timers. NOTE: this issue does not correspond to a specific vulnerability, rather a general weakness that only increases the feasibility of exploitation of any vulnerabilities that might exist. Such design-level weaknesses normally are not included in CVE, so perhaps this issue should be REJECTed. Cisco IOS Has a function to check the consistency of the contents of the heap memory in case of a heap overflow ( heap integrity check ) Is included, but this heap integrity check A vulnerability exists that could allow arbitrary code to be bypassed. Also, Cisco Provides a Japanese translation of the information, but recommends that you consult the English version of the advisory for the latest information.Cisco IOS Is vulnerable to a heap overflow vulnerability, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the router. Cisco IOS is prone to heap-based buffer-overflow issues. Cisco has released an advisory stating that IOS upgrades are available to address the possibility of exploits of heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. It is not known at this time if the advisory addresses a specific heap overflow or just provides security enhancements to mitigate attempts to exploit heap-overflow vulnerabilities. In many cases, the overflow will only corrupt system memory and trigger a system reload if detected by the \"Check Heaps\" process that has been monitoring memory corruption.
The vulnerability has been reported to affect all Cisco products that
run Cisco IOS Software.
Note: The vendor has reported that the vulnerability was fixed as a
result of continued research related to the demonstration of an
exploit for the IPv6 vulnerability.
For more information:
SA16272
SOLUTION:
Fixes are available for IOS 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 (see
patch matrix in vendor advisory).

| VAR-200511-0475 | CVE-2005-3468 | F-Secure Web Console Directory Traversal Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Directory traversal vulnerability in F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange 6.40 and Internet Gatekeeper 6.40 to 6.42 allows limited remote attackers to bypass Web Console authentication and read files. The remote threat only arises if the application has been configured to accept connections from elsewhere. The default configuration only poses a local threat. This can be exploited to read arbitrary files on the
server via directory traversal attacks.
Successful exploitation requires that the attacker is able to connect
to the Web Console via an allowed host.

| VAR-200510-0068 | CVE-2005-3304 | PHP-Nuke Multiple modules remote SQL Injection vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.5 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke 7.8 allow remote attackers to modify SQL queries and execute arbitrary PHP code via (1) the username parameter in the Your Account page, (2) the url parameter in the Downloads module, and (3) the description parameter in the Web_Links module. PHPNuke is prone to multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in SQL queries.
Successful exploitation could result in a compromise of the application, disclosure or modification of data, or may permit an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation. PHP-Nuke is a popular website creation and management tool, it can use many database software as backend, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, mSQL, Interbase, Sybase, etc. Remote attackers can insert malicious SQL statement strings into the input data to operate the database without authorization.
