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). http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20051102-timers.shtml#software PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by vendor.

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. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: The vendor credits Mikko Korppi.

Multiple interpretation error in Fortinet 2.48.0.0 allows remote attackers to bypass virus scanning via a file such as BAT, HTML, and EML with an "MZ" magic byte sequence which is normally associated with EXE, which causes the file to be treated as a safe type that could still be executed as a dangerous file type by applications on the end system, as demonstrated by a "triple headed" program that contains EXE, EML, and HTML content, aka the "magic byte bug.". Fortinet is prone to a security bypass vulnerability. TheHacker is an antivirus engine

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.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Command Line Interface (CLI) for Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System (CS-MARS) before 4.2.1, allow local CS-MARS administrators to execute arbitrary commands as root. A buffer overflow exists in the Snort Back Orifice preprocessor that may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code, possibly with elevated privileges. This may facilitate a remote compromise of affected computers. Cisco has released version 4.2.1 to address these issues; prior versions are reported vulnerable. Snort is susceptible to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to securely copy network-derived data into sensitive process buffers. The specific issue exists in the Back Orifice preprocessor. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation. Due to the nature of this issue, attackers may exploit it by sending a single UDP packet with a potentially spoofed source address to an arbitrary destination address and port. As long as the application can sniff the packet, it may be exploited. These aspects of this issue may aid attackers in bypassing firewalls in order to compromise a wider number of computers. Reportedly, this issue is difficult to reliably exploit across differing operating systems and compiler versions. Failed exploit attempts likely result in crashing the application, thereby disabling detection of other attacks. Snort versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.2 are affected by this issue. Other versions may also be affected, but this has not been confirmed. The CS-MARS CLI is a restricted shell environment that allows authenticated administrators to perform system maintenance tasks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA05-291A Snort Back Orifice Preprocessor Buffer Overflow Original release date: October 18, 2005 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT Systems Affected * Snort versions 2.4.0 to 2.4.2 * Sourcefire Intrusion Sensors Other products that use Snort or Snort components may be affected. I. Description Snort is a widely-deployed, open-source network intrusion detection system (IDS). Snort and its components are used in other IDS products, notably Sourcefire Intrusion Sensors, and Snort is included with a number of operating system distributions. Snort preprocessors are modular plugins that extend functionality by operating on packets before the detection engine is run. The ping detection code does not adequately limit the amount of data that is read from the packet into a fixed-length buffer, thus creating the potential for a buffer overflow. The vulnerable code will process any UDP packet that is not destined to or sourced from the default Back Orifice port (31337/udp). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted UDP packet to a host or network monitored by Snort. US-CERT is tracking this vulnerability as VU#175500. Further information is available in an advisory from Internet Security Systems (ISS). II. Snort typically runs with root or SYSTEM privileges, so an attacker could take complete control of a vulnerable system. An attacker does not need to target a Snort sensor directly; the attacker can target any host or network monitored by Snort. III. Solution Upgrade Sourcefire has released Snort 2.4.3 which is available from the Snort download site. For information about other vendors, please see the Systems Affected section of VU#175500. Disable Back Orifice Preprocessor To disable the Back Orifice preprocessor, comment out the line that loads the preprocessor in the Snort configuration file (typically /etc/snort.conf on UNIX and Linux systems): [/etc/snort.conf] ... #preprocessor bo ... Restart Snort for the change to take effect. Restrict Outbound Traffic Consider preventing Snort sensors from initiating outbound connections and restricting outbound traffic to only those hosts and networks that have legitimate requirements to communicate with the sensors. While this will not prevent exploitation of the vulnerability, it may make it more difficult for an attacker to access a compromised system or reconnoiter other systems. Appendix A.

I. Description Snort is a widely-deployed, open-source network intrusion detection system (IDS). Snort and its components are used in other IDS products, notably Sourcefire Intrusion Sensors, and Snort is included with a number of operating system distributions. Snort preprocessors are modular plugins that extend functionality by operating on packets before the detection engine is run. The ping detection code does not adequately limit the amount of data that is read from the packet into a fixed-length buffer, thus creating the potential for a buffer overflow. The vulnerable code will process any UDP packet that is not destined to or sourced from the default Back Orifice port (31337/udp). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted UDP packet to a host or network monitored by Snort. US-CERT is tracking this vulnerability as VU#175500. Further information is available in an advisory from Internet Security Systems (ISS). II. Snort typically runs with root or SYSTEM privileges, so an attacker could take complete control of a vulnerable system. An attacker does not need to target a Snort sensor directly; the attacker can target any host or network monitored by Snort. III. Solution Upgrade Sourcefire has released Snort 2.4.3 which is available from the Snort download site. For information about other vendors, please see the Systems Affected section of VU#175500.

Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System (CS-MARS) before 4.2.1 ships with an Oracle database that contains several default accounts and passwords, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information. A buffer overflow exists in the Snort Back Orifice preprocessor that may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code, possibly with elevated privileges. This may facilitate a remote compromise of affected computers. Cisco has released version 4.2.1 to address these issues; prior versions are reported vulnerable. Snort is susceptible to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to securely copy network-derived data into sensitive process buffers. The specific issue exists in the Back Orifice preprocessor. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation. Due to the nature of this issue, attackers may exploit it by sending a single UDP packet with a potentially spoofed source address to an arbitrary destination address and port. As long as the application can sniff the packet, it may be exploited. These aspects of this issue may aid attackers in bypassing firewalls in order to compromise a wider number of computers. Reportedly, this issue is difficult to reliably exploit across differing operating systems and compiler versions. Failed exploit attempts likely result in crashing the application, thereby disabling detection of other attacks. Snort versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.2 are affected by this issue. Other versions may also be affected, but this has not been confirmed. CS-MARS uses an Oracle database to store sensitive network events and configuration data. Information in the database may include authentication credentials for network devices, such as firewalls, routers and IPS devices, and details of network security events. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA05-291A Snort Back Orifice Preprocessor Buffer Overflow Original release date: October 18, 2005 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT Systems Affected * Snort versions 2.4.0 to 2.4.2 * Sourcefire Intrusion Sensors Other products that use Snort or Snort components may be affected.

The FWDRV driver in Kerio Personal Firewall 4.2 and Server Firewall 1.1.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by setting the PAGE_NOACCESS or PAGE_GUARD protection on the Page Environment Block (PEB), which triggers an exception, aka the "PEB lockout vulnerability.". Kerio Personal Firewall and ServerFirewall are prone to a local denial of service vulnerability. Reports indicate that the FWDRV driver does not verify access to memory associated with the Process Environment Block (PEB) of the application. An attacker can trigger fatal exceptions and cause the firewall process to terminate. A denial of service condition in the firewall can expose computers to further attacks. Kerio Personal Firewall and Server Firewall are easy-to-use firewall products. Kerio Personal Firewall and Server Firewall are easy-to-use firewall products. When parsing the PEB, FWDRV does not check whether the memory is accessible, that is to say, if the attacker can set PAGE_NOACCESS or PAGE_GUARD protection on the PEB, it will cause an exception and the machine will blue screen of death. This can be exploited to crash the system via a malicious application that locks the memory page where its PEB resides before connecting to the network. * Kerio ServerFirewall version 1.1.1 and prior.

Planet Technology Corp FGSW2402RS switch with firmware 1.2 has a default password, which allows attackers with physical access to the device's serial port to gain privileges. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain administrative access to the switch; the consequences will vary depending on the network configuration. Reports indicate to exploit this vulnerability an attacker must have access to a machine directly connected to the vulnerable device through the RS-232 port connection. Though uncomfirmed this vulnerability may be remotely exploitable if access to the affected device exists using some other means. This would greatly affect possible exposure to this vulnerability

Stack-based buffer overflow in PWIWrapper.dll for Webroot Desktop Firewall before 1.3.0build52 allows local users to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM by sending a crafted DeviceIoControl command, then removing an allowed program from the firewall list. Webroot Software Desktop Firewall is susceptible to multiple local vulnerabilities. The first issue is a buffer overflow vulnerability, due to a failure of the application to properly bounds check user-supplied data prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Local attackers may exploit this first issue to execute arbitrary machine code with SYSTEM privileges. Attackers require the ability to modify the firewall's list of allowed applications. The second issue is an authentication bypass vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the firewall to properly enforce built-in password protection, allowing local attackers to disable the firewall. Local attackers may exploit the second issue to disable the firewall, aiding them in further attacks. These issues may only be exploited by local attackers with privileges allowing them to utilize 'DeviceIoControl()' to send commands to the firewall driver. These issues are reported to exist in version 1.3.0.43. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version 1.3.0 build 52.
