Act Locally, Pwn Globally By Jeffrey Carr On December 24, 2008, the Pakistani Whackerz Cr3w defaced a part of India's critical infrastructure, the Eastern Railway system Web site. The defacement appeared on a scroll feed which read: .Cyber war has been declared on Indian cyberspace by Whackerz- Pakistan (24 Dec-2008).. http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/496 2. Time to Shield Researchers By Oliver Day Research is the backbone of the security industry but the legal climate has become so adverse that researchers have had to worry about injunctions, FBI visits, and even arrest. http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/495 II. MICROSOFT VULNERABILITY SUMMARY ------------------------------------ 1. UltraISO CCD and IMG File Buffer Overflow Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 34363 Remote: Yes Date Published: 2009-04-03 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34363 Summary: UltraISO is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. UltraISO 9.3.3.2685 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. 2. Microsoft PowerPoint File Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 34351 Remote: Yes Date Published: 2009-04-02 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34351 Summary: Microsoft PowerPoint is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this issue by enticing a victim to open a malicious PowerPoint file. Successfully exploiting this issue would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. 3. Fortinet FortiClient VPN Connection Name Local Format String Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 34343 Remote: No Date Published: 2009-04-02 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34343 Summary: Fortinet FortiClient is prone to a local format-string vulnerability because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to a formatted-printing function. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow local attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges, completely compromising the computer. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial of service. FortiClient 3.0.614 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. 4. SAP Business Objects Crystal Reports 'viewreport.asp' Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 34341 Remote: Yes Date Published: 2009-04-02 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34341 Summary: SAP Business Objects Crystal Reports is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site and to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. NOTE: This issue may be related to the one described in BID 12107 (Business Objects Crystal Enterprise Report File Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability). We will update or retire this BID when more information emerges. 5. OpenX Prior to 2.8 Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities BugTraq ID: 34336 Remote: Yes Date Published: 2009-04-01 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34336 Summary: OpenX is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities: - Multiple SQL-Injection vulnerabilities - A cross-site-scripting vulnerability - An arbitrary-file-deletion vulnerability - A HTTP-header-injection vulnerability Attackers can exploit these issues to steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users of the site, modify the way the site is rendered, access or modify data, exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database, or delete arbitrary files on the affected computer. Other attacks are also possible. Versions prior to OpenX 2.8 are vulnerable. 6. IBM DB2 Content Manager eClient Unspecified Security Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 34326 Remote: Yes Date Published: 2009-03-31 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34326 Summary: IBM DB2 Content Manager is prone to an unspecified vulnerability. Very few details are available regarding this issue. We will update this BID as more information emerges. IBM DB2 Content Manager 8.4.1 is vulnerable; other versions may be affected as well. 7. Apple Safari XML Parser Nested XML Tag Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 34318 Remote: Yes Date Published: 2009-03-31 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34318 Summary: Apple Safari is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to run arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed. Apple Safari 3.2.2 and 4 Beta are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. 8. Bugzilla 'attachment.cgi' Cross Site Request Forgery Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 34308 Remote: Yes Date Published: 2009-03-30 Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34308 Summary: Bugzilla is prone to a cross-site request-forgery vulnerability.
