TITLE

Watchguard SOHO Firewall HTTP Request Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

HTTP server on the WatchGuard SOHO firewall does not properly restrict access to administrative functions such as password resets or rebooting, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or conduct unauthorized activities. There is a buffer overflow in the IBM AIX setclock command that may allow local attackers to gain root privileges. SOHO Firewall is an appliance firewall by Watchguard Technologies Inc. designed for Small Office/Home Office users. It is possible for a remote intruder to gain inappropriate access to the system on which SOHO Firewall resides through specially formed HTTP requests. The web server component will grant access to known files when HTTP requests such as http://target/filename.ext are received. For example, a remote attacker may reset the password by supplying a blank request for the /passcfg object. This will clear the administrative password and will yield access to administrative functions via HTTP. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service or manage unauthorized behavior. Microsoft Internet Explorer DBCS Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability By Sowhat of Nevis Labs Date: 2006.04.11 http://www.nevisnetworks.com http://secway.org/advisory/AD20060411.txt http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-013.mspx CVE: CVE-2006-1189 Vendor Microsoft Inc. Products affected: Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 Internet Explorer 6 for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 Internet Explorer 6 for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 on Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98 SE, and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition This vulnerability affects systems that use Double-Byte Character Sets. Systems that are affected are Windows language versions that use a Double Byte Character Set language. Examples of languages that use DBCS are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. Customers using other language versions of Windows might also be affected if "Language for non-Unicode programs" has been set to a Double Byte Character Set language. Overview: There exists a buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Explorer in the parsing of DBCS URLS. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system when the victim visits a web page or views an HTML email message. This attack may be utilized wherever IE parses HTML, such as webpages, email, newsgroups, and within applications utilizing web-browsing functionality. Details: URLMON.DLL does not properly validate IDN containing double-byte character sets (DBCS), which may lead to remote code execution. Exploiting this vulnerability seems to need a lot of more work but we believe that exploitation is possible. POC: No PoC will be released for this. FIX: Microsoft has released an update for Internet Explorer which is set to address this issue. This can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS06-013.mspx Vendor Response: 2005.12.29 Vendor notified via secure@microsoft.com 2005.12.29 Vendor responded 2006.04.11 Vendor released MS06-0xx patch 2006.04.11 Advisory released Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Information: The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the following names to these issues. These are candidates for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for security problems.
