TITLE

Safari Used in WebCore Vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks

DESCRIPTION

WebCore on Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.10, as used in Safari, does not properly parse HTML comments in TITLE elements, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and bypass some XSS protection schemes by embedding certain HTML tags within an HTML comment. Konquerer is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. Exploiting this issue may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. All versions of KDE up to and including KDE 3.5.6 are vulnerable to this issue. Apple Safari web browser is also vulnerable to this issue. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including CFNetwork, CoreAudio, iChat, mDNSResponder, PDFKit, Quartz Composer, Samba, and WebCore. 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 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BETA test the new Secunia Personal Software Inspector!

Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #3 to #5 may allow arbitrary code execution. For more information: SA13237 7) A boundary error within the UPnP IGD (Internet Gateway Device Standardized Device Control Protocol) code in iChat can be exploited on the local network to crash the application or to execute arbitrary code, by sending a specially crafted packet. 8) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA25800 9) An error within the UPnP IGD (Internet Gateway Device Standardized Device Control Protocol) code in mDNSResponder can be exploited on the local network to crash the application or to execute arbitrary code, by sending a specially crafted packet. 10) An integer underflow exists in PDFKit within the handling of PDF files in Preview and may be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user opens a specially crafted PDF file. 11) Multiple vulnerabilities exist in PHP, which can be exploited to disclose potentially sensitive information, to cause a DoS (Denial of Service), to bypass certain security restrictions, to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA24814 SA24356 SA24440 SA24505 SA24542 SA25123 12) An error exists in Quartz Composer due to an uninitialized object pointer when handling Quartz Composer files and may be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a specially crafted Quartz Composer file is viewed. 13) Some vulnerabilities exist in Samba, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA25232 14) An unspecified error in Samba can be exploited to bypass file system quotas. 15) Some vulnerabilities in Squirrelmail can be exploited by malicious people to disclose and manipulate certain sensitive information or to conduct cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, and script insertion attacks. For more information: SA16987 SA20406 SA21354 SA23195 SA25200 16) Some vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or to bypass certain security restrictions. For more information: SA24732 SA25383 SA25721 17) An error in WebCore can be exploited to load Java applets even when Java is disabled in the preferences. 18) An error in WebCore can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. For more information see vulnerability #1 in: SA23893 19) An error in WebCore can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information. For more information see vulnerability #2 in: SA23893 20) An error in WebCore when handling properties of certain global objects can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks when navigating to a new URL with Safari. 21) An error in WebKit within in the handling of International Domain Name (IDN) support and Unicode fonts embedded in Safari can be exploited to spoof a URL. This is similar to: SA14164 22) A boundary error in the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library in WebKit and used by the JavaScript engine in Safari can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a user visits a malicious web page. 23) Input validation errors exists in bzgrep and zgrep.

The weakness is caused due to an error in the parsing of comments within certain tags of an HTML document. Arbitrary HTML and script code in a comment tag is executed in a user's browser session when preceded by the corresponding closing tag (e.g. the title tag). Successful exploitation is possible on web sites that allow users to insert unsanitised HTML and script code within a comment into such a tag. The weakness is confirmed in Safari 2.0.4. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not browse untrusted sites. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200703-10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Low Title: KHTML: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability Date: March 10, 2007 Bugs: #165606 ID: 200703-10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== The KHTML component shipped with the KDE libraries is prone to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Background ========== KDE is a feature-rich graphical desktop environment for Linux and Unix-like Operating Systems. KHTML is the HTML interpreter used in Konqueror and other parts of KDE. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/kdelibs < 3.5.5-r8 >= 3.5.5-r8 Description =========== The KHTML code allows for the execution of JavaScript code located inside the "Title" HTML element, a related issue to the Safari error found by Jose Avila. Impact ====== When viewing a HTML page that renders unsanitized attacker-supplied input in the page title, Konqueror and other parts of KDE will execute arbitrary JavaScript code contained in the page title, allowing for the theft of browser session data or cookies. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All KDElibs users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.5-r8" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-0537 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0537 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-0478 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0478 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200703-10.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
