Remote: Yes
Date Published: May 20 2003 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7635
Summary:

Snort is a freely available, open source intrusion detection system. It is available for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows platforms.

A vulnerability has been reported within the spp_stream4.c source file. The problem is said to occur while maintaining the state of an established session.

Specifically, Snort is said to call UpdateState before verifying the legitimacy of a packet received from a client partaking in a legitimate session. As a result, it may be possible to corrupt stateful inspection carried out by Snort.

This issue can be triggered by forging a packet to a server containing the legitimate client source IP and port. When encountered by Snort, the state of the session is updated before verifying that the packet is a legitimate part of the established session. However when the packet is received by the server, due to invalid sequence and acknowledgement data, the packet will be dropped.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger a situation under which legitimate session traffic transmitted would no longer be detected by Snort.

This vulnerability has been reported to affected Snort 2.0.0rc2, however other versions may also be affected.

Call Pantek today for Open Source Technical Support at 1-877-546-8934 - 24/7/365

9. Working Resources BadBlue Unauthorized HTS Access Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7638
Remote: Yes
Date Published: May 20 2003 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7638
Summary:

BadBlue is a P2P file sharing application distributed by Working Resources. It is available for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

BadBlue is prone to a vulnerability that could allow remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to administrative functions. BadBlue includes a server-side scripting language which uses '.htx' and '.hts' files. The '.hts' extension represents files that are only intended to be requested and executed by the local host.

It is possible to bypass BadBlue security checks when '.hts' files are requested by a remote user. BadBlue restricts access to non-HTML files by replacing the first two letters in the file extension of a requested resource with 'ht'. If the third character of a file extension is 's', then it is possible to trick BadBlue into serving a non-HTML file with an extension of '.hts'. This will bypass other security checks which would normally prevent BadBlue from serving these files to remote users.

Exploitation could result in unauthorized access to administrative functions provided in '.hts' files.

Blackmoon FTP Server Plaintext User Password Weakness BugTraq ID: 7646 Remote: No Date Published: May 21 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7646 Summary:

Blackmoon FTP Server is an FTP Server for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Blackmoon FTP Server stores authentication credentials for the FTP service on the local system in plaintext. These credentials are stored in the 'blackmoon.mdb' file in the program directory. Local users with access to this file may gain unauthorized access to the server as a result.

Do you need help?

Exposure of authentication credentials may also lead to compromise of other services/resources if the same credentials are commonly used.

It should be noted that although this weakness was reported to affect Blackmoon FTP server version 2.6, previous versions might also be affected.

BZFlag Reconnect Denial Of Service Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7649 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 21 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7649 Summary:

Though unconfirmed, exploitation could result in memory corruption, which may allow for execution of malicious code.

This issue was reported in BZFlag 1.7g0. Other versions are also likely affected.

Platform Load Sharing Facility LSF_ENVDIR Local Command Execution Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7655 Remote: No Date Published: May 22 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7655 Summary:

Load Sharing Facility is a high availability and load balancing software package distributed and maintained by Platform. It is available for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows.

A problem in the software for the Unix and Linux platform may make it possible for a local user to gain unauthorized privileges.

It has been reported that Load Sharing Facility (LSF) does not properly handle input in environment variables. Because of this, an attacker may be able to gain escalated privileges on a vulnerable system.

Do you need more help?

The problem is in the handling of environment variables. When the lsadmin program is executed, shortly after starting execution it calls the lim program. The path to this program is specified in the configuration file. However, it is possible to change the location that will be checked for this program by altering the LSF_ENVDIR environment variable to force lsadmin to look for the lim program in a different location. By doing so, it is possible to create a malicious copy of the lim program which would be executed with the privileges of the lsadmin program. The lsadmin program is typically installed with elevated privileges.

IISProtect Authentication Bypass Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7661 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 22 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7661 Summary:

iisProtect is a security product for Microsoft Windows that provides authentication based access control to protect web resources.

A vulnerability has been reported that may allow for iisProtect authentication to be circumvented by web users. It is possible to bypass authentication to gain access to web resources by submitting a request which URL encoded character representations. iisProtect fails to recognize these character representations, but the underlying IIS server will interpret them and serve the resource that is requested.

Remote attackers may exploit this issue to gain access to sensitive web resources, which could allow for other attacks which compromise web resources.

PHPNuke Remote Main Modules Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities BugTraq ID: 7631 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 20 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7631 Summary:

It has been reported that multiple problems exist in the PHPNuke main modules. SQL injection issues exist in the Sections, Avantgo, Surveys, Downloads, Reviews, and Web_Links modules. This could allow an attacker pass malicious SQL code to the database. It should be noted that multiple path disclosure issues also exist.

Each of these modules does not properly handle the backtick character at precise locations in queries. Because of this, it is possible to create a custom command that will be executed with the privileges of the PHPNuke application.

Blackmoon FTP Server Username Information Disclosure Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7647 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 21 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7647 Summary:

Can we help you?

Blackmoon FTP Server is an FTP Server for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

It has been reported that Blackmoon FTP Server is prone to an information disclosure weakness.

The problem exists in the way the FTP server handles the authentication procedure. Specifically the FTP server returns a '530-Account does not exist.' error message to the console, if the username supplied is invalid, before disconnecting the user. An attacker may exploit this weakness to enumerate valid usernames.

It should be noted that although this weakness was reported to affect Blackmoon FTP server version 2.6, previous versions might also be affected.

ShareMailPro Username Identification Weakness BugTraq ID: 7658 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 22 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7658 Summary:

A weakness has been reported in ShareMailPro that may reveal the existence of usernames to remote attackers.

This weakness is due to the fact that ShareMailPro responds with different messages depending on whether a given username exists or not.

If an attacker connects with a non-existent username, the following message is displayed:

Can't find what you're looking for?

-ERR sorry , no such mailbox

An attacker may be able to use this information to launch further intelligent attacks against the server or to launch a brute force password attack against a known user name.

This vulnerability was reported for ShareMailPro 3.6.1.

Apple QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server QTSSReflector Module Integer Overflow Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7659 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 22 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7659 Summary:

The Darwin/QuickTime Streaming Servers are used as a web interface for Streaming Server configuration. They are available for the Linux, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and MacOS X operating systems.

A vulnerability has been reported for Apple Quicktime/Darwin Streaming Server. The problem is said to occur within the QTSSReflector module while processing the ANNOUNCE command. Specifically, by specifying the Content-Length of an ANNOUNCE request to 0xffffffff (4294967295) it may be possible to overflow an unsigned integer. As a result, an unexpected calculation may occur within the affected module, causing the server to crash. Due to the nature of the value that is supplied to Content-Length, this issue may actually be a result of signed/unsigned variable mismatching. This behavior however has not been confirmed.

It should be noted that it has been speculated that this issue may be exploitable to corrupt process memory. If so, it may be possible for an attacker to overwrite sensitive values in an attempt to execute arbitrary instructions with the privileges of the server.

Apple has confirmed that this issue may be exploitable to trigger a denial of service. However, it is believed that remote exploitability is unlikely as it would require an administrator to manually configure the service to permit unauthenticated broadcasts.

Apple QuickTime/Darwin Streaming MP3Broadcaster ID3 Tag Handling Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7660 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 22 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7660 Summary:

The Apple QuickTime/Darwin MP3 Broadcaster is encoding software used to stream online broadcasts. They are available for the Linux, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and MacOS X operating systems.

Don't know where to look next?

MP3Broadcaster has been reported prone to a vulnerability when processing malformed ID3 tag information. The issue presents itself, under specific conditions, when the user invokes the MP3Broadcaster utility using the '-X
-l' command line options, to generate a list based off malicious MP3
files. When a malformed integer within the ID3 data of a malicious MP3 file is processed, a miscalculation may occur which could potentially result in the corruption of process memory. This is likely due to insufficient sanity checks performed when handling signed integer values contained within MP3 file ID3 tags.

Apple has confirmed that this issue may be exploitable to trigger a denial of service. However, it is believed that remote exploitability is unlikely, as it would require an administrator to manually configure the service to permit unauthenticated broadcasts.

20. Microsoft Netmeeting CALLTO URL Buffer Overflow Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7639
Remote: Yes
Date Published: May 20 2003 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7639
Summary:

Microsoft Netmeeting sessions can be launched through Internet Explorer by browsing to a 'callto:' link. These links usually contain the address of the Netmeeting user to be called and may also contain a directory to retrieve the addressing information from.

It has been reported that clicking on a malformed 'callto:' URI using Internet Explorer may result in Windows failing due to a kernel mode exception. This issue may be due to a boundary condition error in one of the parameters accepted by the CALLTO protocol handler.

Confused? Frustrated?

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in a denial of service to the system. If this is due to a boundary condition error, it is not currently known if critical memory is overwritten that could allow for code execution.

Symantec was unable to reproduce this vulnerability on a Windows 2000 SP3 system running Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 and Netmeeting 3.01 using the supplied proof of concept code.

It is important to note that the CALLTO protocol handler does not function by default on browsers other than Internet Explorer.

It has been reported that when Windows fails in this instance, a pointer may be overwritten. This indicates that code execution could be possible through successful exploitation of this vulnerability. 21. Microsoft Windows Media Player Automatic File Download and Execution Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 7640 Remote: Yes Date Published: May 21 2003 12:00AM Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7640 Summary:
