VAR-200410-0102 | No CVE | Sun Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) Remote User Bypasses Security 'Sandbox' Limitation Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: - CVSS V3: - Severity: - |
Java 2 Micro Edition is a Java technology implementation that supports mobile devices.
Java 2 Micro Edition has security issues. Remote attackers can use this vulnerability to build Java code to bypass the Java security mechanism.
Adam Gowdiak reports a flaw in the implementation of the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) in the K virtual machine bytecode checker. Remote users can bypass JAVA KVM 'sandbox' security mechanisms to access operating system functions and data.
For example, a remote attacker can establish a malicious JAVA code to obtain data (such as phone books and SMS messages) from a mobile phone, establish an Internet connection, write FLASH to the phone's memory, install software, and modify internal process communications of the operating system.
Nokia, Siemens, Panasonic, Samsung, Motorola and other phones are affected by this vulnerability.

VAR-200412-0753 | CVE-2004-2621 | Nortel Contivity VPN Client Gateway Certificate Check Failure Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 4.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Nortel Contivity VPN Client 2.1.7, 3.00, 3.01, 4.91, and 5.01, when opening a VPN tunnel, does not check the gateway certificate until after a dialog box has been displayed to the user, which creates a race condition that allows remote attackers to perform a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. Nortel Contivity VPN Client is reported prone to a certificate check failure. The vulnerability is present because the VPN connection is established before the user permits the connection.
This may allow the attacker to launch further attacks against the vulnerable computer. Nortel Contivity VPN Client is a VPN client. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to further attack the target system. No detailed vulnerability details are currently available.
Successful exploitation requires that an attacker is able to conduct
a man-in-the-middle attack, thereby making the client connect to a
malicious gateway.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 4.91. Other versions
may also be vulnerable.
SOLUTION:
Reportedly, this will be fixed in version 5.1 (expected to be
released in the beginning of 2005).
The vendor has not replied to any requests for comments on this
issue.

VAR-200412-0016 | CVE-2004-0834 |
Speedtouch USB Driver Local Format String Vulnerability
Related entries in the VARIoT exploits database: VAR-E-200410-0228 |
CVSS V2: 7.2 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Format string vulnerability in Speedtouch USB driver before 1.3.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) modem_run, (2) pppoa2, or (3) pppoa3. The problem occurs due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data.
This vulnerability may be exploited in order to have arbitrary code executed with superuser privileges
VAR-200804-0010 | CVE-2008-1374 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux Implemented in CUPS of pdftops Integer overflow vulnerability in filters |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Integer overflow in pdftops filter in CUPS in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, when running on 64-bit platforms, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2004-0888. The pdftops utility is reported prone to multiple integer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly ensure that user-supplied input doesn't result in the overflowing of integer values. This may result in data being copied past the end of a memory buffer.
These overflows cause the application to allocate memory regions that are smaller than expected. Subsequent operations are likely to overwrite memory regions past the end of the allocated buffer, allowing attackers to overwrite critical memory control structures. This may allow attackers to control the flow of execution and potentially execute attacker-supplied code in the context of the affected application.
Applications using embedded xpdf code may be vulnerable to these issues as well. Xpdf is an open source program for viewing PDF files. The \'\'pdftops/XRef.cc\'\' contained in Xpdf has a problem in processing the pageSize value. A remote attacker can use this vulnerability to construct a malicious PDF file, lure users to access it, and trigger an integer buffer overflow. CUPS contains a call to Xpdf and is therefore also affected by this vulnerability. No detailed vulnerability details are currently available.
The vulnerability is caused due to an incomplete fix of CVE-2004-0888
on 64bit architectures. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

VAR-200502-0003 | CVE-2004-0937 | Anti-virus software may not properly scan malformed zip archives |
CVSS V2: 7.5 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Sophos Anti-Virus before 3.87.0, and Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 95, 98, and Me before 3.88.0, allows remote attackers to bypass antivirus protection via a compressed file with both local and global headers set to zero, which does not prevent the compressed file from being opened on a target system. Anti-virus software may rely on corrupted headers to determine if a zip archive is valid. As a result, anti-virus software may fail to detect malicious content within a zip archive. Multiple Vendor Antivirus applications are reported vulnerable to a zip file detection evasion vulnerability. This vulnerability may allow maliciously crafted zip files to avoid being scanned and detected. The malicious archive can bypass the protection provided by a vulnerable antivirus program, giving users a false sense of security. If the user opens and executes the file, this attack can result in a malicious code infection.
This issue is reported to affected products offered by McAfee, Computer Associates, Kaspersky, Sophos, Eset and RAV.
Latest antivirus products by Symantec, Bitdefender, Trend Micro and Panda are not vulnerable to this issue. Many anti-virus vendors have problems when processing .zip files. Remote attackers can use this vulnerability to embed malicious code to bypass the inspection of anti-virus software. The problem lies in the analysis of the header field of the .zip file. The information stored in the compressed file in the .zip file format is divided into two parts, one is the local (local) header field, and the other is the global (global) header field. Local header field data exists before the compressed data file, while global fields exist at the end of the .zip file. Attackers can modify the uncompressed byte size value of the archive file in the local and global header field information without affecting the function, but many antivirus vendors' software cannot handle such archive files well. If the compressed payload contains malicious code, it cannot be detected

II. DESCRIPTION
Remote exploitation of an exceptional condition error in multiple
vendors' anti-virus software allows attackers to bypass security
protections by evading virus detection.
The .zip file format stores information about compressed files in two
locations - a local header and a global header. The local header exists
just before the compressed data of each file, and the global header
exists at the end of the .zip archive. It is possible to modify the
uncompressed size of archived files in both the local and global header
without affecting functionality. This has been confirmed with both
WinZip and Microsoft Compressed Folders. An attacker can compress a
malicious payload and evade detection by some anti-virus software by
modifying the uncompressed size within the local and global headers to
zero.
III. ANALYSIS
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to pass malicious
payloads within a compressed archive to a target without being detected.
Most anti-virus engines have the ability to scan content packaged with
compressed archives. As such, users with up-to-date anti-virus software
are more likely to open attachments and files if they are under the
false impression that the archive was already scanned and found to not
contain a virus.
IV. The Vendor Responses section of this
advisory contains details on the status of specific vendor fixes for
this issue.
V. WORKAROUND
Filter all compressed file archives (.zip) at border gateways,
regardless of content.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSES
McAfee
"The McAfee scan engine has always been a market leader in detection of
viruses, worms and Trojans within compressed and archived file formats.
As such the mechanism used for the detection of such payloads has been
designed to ensure all archive files are thoroughly scanned at each
nested level in the file to ensure that all appropriate parts of the
file are scanned.
McAfee is aware of a proof of concept exploitation in Zip archive
payloads where information in the local header part of the archive is
modified.
The local header exists just before the compressed data of each file. It
is possible to modify the uncompressed size of archived files in the
local header without affecting functionality. Consequently there is the
potential for a malicious payload to be hidden and avoid anti-virus
detection by modifying the uncompressed size within the local headers to
zero.
The techniques used by McAfee to analyze Zip archives have allowed a
comprehensive solution for the Zip file format vulnerability to be
provided to protect customers.
The latest update for the current 4320 McAfee Anti-Virus Engine DATS
drivers (Version 4398 released on Oct 13th 2004) further enhances the
protection afforded to McAfee customers against such potential exploits.
A DATS Driver update issued in Version 4397 (October 6th 2004) provided
early protection for the same potential exploit targeted specifically
for Gateway and Command line scanning.
If a detection of this type of exploit is found it will trigger the
message "Found the Exploit-Zip Trojan!" to be displayed.
Updates for the DAT files mentioned above can be located at the
following links:
Home (Retail) Users:
http://download.mcafee.com/uk/updates/updates.asp
Business (Enterprise) Users:
http://www.mcafeesecurity.com/uk/downloads/updates/dat.asp?id=1
It should be noted that whilst McAfee take the potential for this
exploit to be used maliciously seriously, to date no evidence of such an
exploit has been discovered. McAfee has provided additional protection
through the DATS driver update however with usage of the comprehensive
suite of anti-virus protection strategies provided by McAfee products,
MacAfee are confident that this exploit presented no additional threat
to its customers.
It should be noted that with McAfee on-access scanning active, such
modification for malicious purposes to hide payloads only delays
eventual detection - McAfee on-access detection will detect any payload
with malicious intent as malware.
McAfee continues to focus on ensuring that customers receive maximum
protection and provide a rapid response to all potential vulnerabilities
thus ensuring customer satisfaction."
Computer Associates
"With the assistance of iDEFENSE, Computer Associates has identified a
medium-risk vulnerability in a shared component of eTrust Antivirus
which may allow a specially crafted .ZIP file to bypass virus detection.
A number of CA products embed this technology including solutions from
eTrust, Brightstor and others.
Customers are encouraged to visit the CA support web site below for more
information about this vulnerability, a list of products and platforms
that are effected, and remediation procedures.
http://supportconnectw.ca.com/public/ca_common_docs/arclib_vuln.asp.
At Computer Associates, every reported exposure is handled with the
utmost urgency. We strive to ensure that no customer is left in a
vulnerable situation."
Kaspersky
(09/24/2004)
"...this bug for scanners based on 3.x-4.x engines will be fixed in next
(not current) cumulative update.
For scanners based on new 5.0 engine we recommend you waiting for the
release of our next maintenance pack. We are going to release it in
October."
Sophos
"A vulnerability has been discovered in Sophos's handling of Zip archive
files, whereby a Zip file can be deliberately altered to prevent
accurate scanning by Sophos anti-virus products of its contents.
Although theoretically a risk, Sophos has not seen any examples of
malware attempting to employ this vulnerability.
Furthermore, The vulnerability does not prevent Sophos's desktop
on-access scanner from correctly detecting viruses (and preventing
actual infection) which manage to bypass the email gateway software, so
the risks of infection are very small.
Sophos has enhanced its scan engine to deal with malformed Zip files.
Version 3.87.0 of Sophos Anti-Virus on all operating system platforms
except Windows 95/98/Me includes this fix and customers will be
automatically updated to this version via EM Library from Wednesday 20
October 2004. Additionally, a version of the software will be available
for download from the Sophos website from Friday 22 October 2004.
Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 95/98/Me customers will be updated with
the fix from version 3.88.0 (available from 24 November 2004).
Sophos thanks iDEFENSE for their assistance in identifying this
vulnerability."
Eset
"The vulnerability was caused by the fact that some archive
compression/decompression software (including Winzip) incorrectly
handles compressed files with deliberately damaged header fields, thus,
in-fact, allowing creation of the damaged archive files, that could be
automatically repaired on the victims computer without notifying the
user.
Eset has made appropriate modifications to archive-scanning code to
handle such kind of archives immediately after receiving notification
from iDEFENSE. These changes are contained in archive-support module
version 1.020, released on 16th September 2004 at 21:00 CET. The update
was available for all clients with Automatic Virus-Signatures Update
set."

VAR-200412-0007 | CVE-2004-0803 | LibTIFF contains multiple heap-based buffer overflows |
CVSS V2: 7.5 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Multiple vulnerabilities in the RLE (run length encoding) decoders for libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier, related to buffer overflows and integer overflows, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via TIFF files. libtiff of tif_next.c , tif_thunder.c , tif_luv.c In RLE In the process of decompressing a compressed file, a buffer overflow vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking.Crafted by a third party TIFF Format image files LibTIFF Interpretation via applications and components that use the library will cause the application to crash and cause denial of service (DoS) It may be possible to run into arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. LibTIFF is affected by multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to properly perform boundary checks before copying user-supplied strings into finite process buffers.
An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer with the privileges of the user running a vulnerable application, facilitating unauthorized access. The attacker may also leverage these issues to crash the affected application. libtiff is an application library responsible for encoding/decoding TIFF image format. kfax is a small tool for displaying FAX files, using the libtiff library. There is a problem with libtiff when processing fax files. kfax calls the libtiff library to process .g3 files. Attackers can build malformed .g3 files and entice users to process them, which can lead to buffer overflows. Carefully constructed file data may execute arbitrary instructions with user process privileges. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

VAR-200501-0287 | CVE-2004-0886 | LibTIFF contains multiple integer overflows |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: 10.33 |
Multiple integer overflows in libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) via TIFF images that lead to incorrect malloc calls. Apple Mac OS X with Bluetooth support may unintentionally allow files to be exchanged with other systems by default. Apple Mac OS X Directory Service utilities use external programs insecurely, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Multiple integer overflows in the LibTIFF library may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Multiple integer overflows in the LibTIFF library may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. LibTIFF is affected by multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to properly perform boundary checks before copying user-supplied strings into finite process buffers.
An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer with the privileges of the user running a vulnerable application, facilitating unauthorized access. The attacker may also leverage these issues to crash the affected application. libtiff is an application library responsible for encoding/decoding the TIFF image format. Impacts of other vulnerabilities addressed by
the update include disclosure of information and denial of service.
I. Description
Apple Security Update 2005-005 resolves a number of vulnerabilities
affecting Mac OS X and OS X Server.
(CAN-2004-0594)
Please note that Apple Security Update 2005-005 addresses additional
vulnerabilities not described above. As further information becomes
available, we will publish individual Vulnerability Notes.
II. Impact
The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary, for information about
specific impacts please see the Vulnerability Notes. Potential
consequences include remote execution of arbitrary code or commands,
disclosure of sensitive information, and denial of service.
III. Solution
Install an Update
Install the update as described in Apple Security Update 2005-005.

VAR-200411-0028 | CVE-2003-0718 | Microsoft IIS of WebDAV Denial of service in Japan (DoS) Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The WebDAV Message Handler for Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU exhaustion, application crash) via a PROPFIND request with an XML message containing XML elements with a large number of attributes. Microsoft XML Parser is prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability when handling malformed requests. The vulnerability can be exploited through the WebDAV XML message handler of Microsoft IIS server.
It is reported that this issue requires a remote attacker to create specially crafted WebDAV requests and send them to a vulnerable server over TCP port 80. There is a possibility of increased CPU resource and memory consumption as the IIS server attempts to process these requests. This can eventually lead to a denial of service condition in the server. A reboot is required to restore normal functionality.
This vulnerability can also be exposed through other applications that rely on Microsoft XML Parser to process XML messages
VAR-200412-1126 | CVE-2004-0931 | MySQL MaxDB WebDBM Server Name Service Rejection Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
MySQL MaxDB before 7.5.00.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request to webdbm with high ASCII values in the Server field, which triggers an assert error in the IsAscii7 function. A remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in MaxDB.
This will reportedly trigger an exception due to an assert directive failing, resulting in a denial of service condition in the web agent.
This issue was reportedly tested on Windows and Linux versions. Other versions could also be affected. MySQL MaxDB Web Agent WebDBM Server Name Denial of Service Vulnerability
iDEFENSE Security Advisory 10.06.04a:

VAR-200411-0013 | CVE-2004-0774 | RealNetworks Helix Universal Server section POST Request Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
RealNetworks Helix Universal Server 9.0.2 for Linux and 9.0.3 for Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory exhaustion) via a POST request with a Content-Length header set to -1. The problem surrounds the mishandling of some POST headers values.
An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the affected server to consume excessive computer resources and hang, denying service to legitimate users. BACKGROUND
RealNetworks Helix Universal Server is a universal digital media
delivery platform with industry leading performance, integrated content
distribution and Web services support. More information is available at
http://www.realnetworks.com.
II.
The problem specifically exists in the handling of specially crafted
POST requests. Generating a request with the Content-Length header set
to -1 triggers an integer handling error resulting in mass utilization
of memory and CPU time.
III. ANALYSIS
Any unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability,
which causes the affected system to utilize mass amounts of memory and
CPU time. The system will no longer be able to process future requests.
The affected server must be restarted in order to resume normal
functionality.
IV. DETECTION
iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in
RealNetworks Helix Server version 9.0.2 for Linux and version 9.0.3 for
Windows. It is suspected that earlier versions on both platforms are
vulnerable as well.
V. WORKAROUND
Usage of an inline application level filter can help mitigate risk of
exploitation by scanning for and filtering invalid Content-Length
parameters.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
"Customers are encouraged to upgrade their Server software to the latest
version, which contains a security patch."
RealNetworks has released binaries that guard against the described
vulnerability. The related advisory from RealNetworks is available at:
http://service.real.com/help/faq/security/security100704.html
VII. CVE INFORMATION
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CAN-2004-0774 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for
security problems.

VAR-200410-0047 | CVE-2005-0373 | Cyrus SASL SASL_PATH Environment variable privilege escalation vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.5 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Buffer overflow in digestmd5.c CVS release 1.170 (also referred to as digestmda5.c), as used in the DIGEST-MD5 SASL plugin for Cyrus-SASL but not in any official releases, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Cyrus SASL is affected by multiple critical vulnerabilities that may be remotely exploitable. The first issue is due to a boundary condition error, the second issue is due to a failure of the application to properly handle environment variables.
Information currently available regarding these issues is insufficient to provide a more detailed analysis. This BID will be updated and split into separate BIDs when more information becomes available.
An attacker can leverage the boundary condition issue to exploit arbitrary code on the affected computer. The impact of the environment variable issue is currently unknown. Cyrus SASL provides several open source implementations for security authentication. Cyrus SASL incorrectly handles the SASL_PATH environment variable, which could be exploited by a local attacker for privilege escalation attacks. Attackers can use the SASL_PATH environment variable to make privileged applications load arbitrary library files from any directory specified by the user, which can cause malicious programs to run with high privileges
VAR-200411-0163 | CVE-2004-0920 | Symantec Norton Antivirus software retains device name handling vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2004, and earlier versions, allows a virus or other malicious code to avoid detection or cause a denial of service (application crash) using a filename containing an MS-DOS device name. Norton AntiVirus is affected by a scan evasion vulnerability when handling files with MS-DOS reserve device names. This issue is due to a design error that allows the files to avoid being scanned. It should be noted that this vulnerability only arises once the file is already present on a vulnerable computer. All Norton AntiVirus products are able to detect malicious files through incoming email. BACKGROUND
Symantec's Norton AntiVirus protects email, instant messages, and other
files by automatically removing viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. More
information about the product is available from http://www.symantec.com
II.
The problem specifically exists in attempts to scan files and
directories named as reserved MS-DOS devices. Reserved MS-DOS device
names are a hold over from the original days of Microsoft DOS. The
reserved MS-DOS device names represent devices such as the first printer
port (LPT1) and the first serial communication port (COM1). Sample
reserved MS-DOS device names include AUX, CON, PRN, COM1 and LPT1. reserved device names can be creating with
standard Windows utilities by specifying the full Universal Naming
Convention (UNC) path. The following command will successfully copy a
file to the reserved device name 'aux' on the C:\ drive:
copy source \\.\C:\aux
III. ANALYSIS
Exploitation allows attackers to evade detection of malicious code.
Attackers can unpack or decode an otherwise detected malicious payload
in a stealth manner.
IV. DETECTION
iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in the latest
version of Norton AntiVirus. It is reported that earlier versions crash
upon parsing files or directories using reserved MS-DOS device names.
V. WORKAROUND
Ensure that no local files or directories using reserved MS-DOS device
names exist. On most modern Windows systems there should be no reserved
MS-DOS device names present. While the Windows search utility can be
used to locate offending files and directories, either a seperate tool
or the specification of Universal Naming Convention (UNC) must be used
to remote them. The following command will successfully remove a file
stored on the C:\ drive named 'aux':
del \\.\C:\aux
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
"Symantec engineers have developed a fix for this issue for Symantec
Norton AntiVirus 2004 that is currently available through LiveUpdate.
The fix is being incorporated into all other supported Symantec Norton
AntiVirus versions and will be available through LiveUpdate when fully
tested and released."
More information is available in Symantec Security Advisory SYM04-015.
VII. CVE INFORMATION
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
names CAN-2004-0920 to these issues. This is a candidate for inclusion
in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for
security problems.
