AFP Server on Mac OS X 10.3.x to 10.3.5, when a guest has mounted an AFP volume, allows the guest to "terminate authenticated user mounts" via modified SessionDestroy packets. Multiple security vulnerabilities are reported in Mac OS X. A security update is available to address these issues and to provide other enhancements. The following issues are reported: Apple AFP server is reported prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. A weak permissions vulnerability is reported to affect the AFP server. This may result in a false sense of security for an administrator. A vulnerability is reported to exist in the NetInfoManager utility. It is reported that the utility will, under certain circumstances, report the status of certain accounts as disabled when they are not. A heap-based buffer overrun is reported to exist in the QuickTime utility. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary instructions in the context of the user that is running the vulnerable software. Finally, ServerAdmin is reported prone to a weak default configuration vulnerability. This may result in ServerAdmin traffic being intercepted and decrypted by a remote attacker. This vulnerability has been split into BID 11344. Some of these issues may already be described in previous BIDs. This BID will be split up into unique BIDs when further analysis of this update is complete

The der_chop script in the openssl package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files. A flaw in the OpenSSL library could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service on an affected application. Multiple RSA implementations fail to properly handle RSA signatures. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to forge RSA signatures. OpenSSL include der_chop The script contains a flaw that creates a temporary file in an inappropriate way for security reasons, so there is a vulnerability that is subject to symbolic link attacks.der_chop An arbitrary file may be created or overwritten with the privileges of the user executing the script. OpenSSL is affected by an insecure temporary file creation vulnerability. This issue is likely due to a design error that causes the application to fail to verify the existence of a file before writing to it. An attacker may leverage this issue to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of an unsuspecting user that activates the vulnerable application. Reportedly this issue is unlikely to facilitate privilege escalation. OpenSSL is an open source SSL suite. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to work within IT-Security?
