Summary of Security Items from October 20 through October 26, 2004

This bulletin provides a summary of new or updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, viruses, and trojans. Updates to items appearing in previous bulletins are listed in bold text. The text in the Risk column appears in red for vulnerabilities ranking High. The risks levels applied to vulnerabilities in the Cyber Security Bulletin are based on how the "system" may be impacted. The Recent Exploit/Technique table contains a "Workaround or Patch Available" column that indicates whether a workaround or patch has been published for the vulnerability which the script exploits.


Bugs, Holes, & Patches

The table below summarizes vulnerabilities that have been identified, even if they are not being exploited. Complete details about patches or workarounds are available from the source of the information or from the URL provided in the section. CVE numbers are listed where applicable. Vulnerabilities that affect both Windows and Unix Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems section.

Note: All the information included in the following tables has been discussed in newsgroups and on web sites.

The Risk levels defined below are based on how the system may be impacted:

  • High - A high-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder to immediately gain privileged access (e.g., sysadmin or root) to the system or allow an intruder to execute code or alter arbitrary system files. An example of a high-risk vulnerability is one that allows an unauthorized user to send a sequence of instructions to a machine and the machine responds with a command prompt with administrator privileges.
  • Medium - A medium-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder immediate access to a system with less than privileged access. Such vulnerability will allow the intruder the opportunity to continue the attempt to gain privileged access. An example of medium-risk vulnerability is a server configuration error that allows an intruder to capture the password file.
  • Low - A low-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will provide information to an intruder that could lead to further compromise attempts or a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. It should be noted that while the DoS attack is deemed low from a threat potential, the frequency of this type of attack is very high. DoS attacks against mission-critical nodes are not included in this rating and any attack of this nature should instead be considered to be a "High" threat.

Secunia Advisory, SA12892, October 20, 2004

Concurrent Versions Systems (CVS) 1.11

A vulnerability exists in Concurrent Versions System (CVS) in which a malicious user can exploit to determine the existence and permissions of arbitrary files and directories. The problem is caused due to an undocumented switch to the "history" command implemented in "src/history.c". Using the "-X" switch and supplying an arbitrary filename, CVS will try to access the specified file and returns various information depending on whether the file exists and can be accessed.

cPanel, Inc.

cPanel 9.4.1-RELEASE-64; 9.9.1-RELEASE-3

Several vulnerabilities exist: a vulnerability exists in the backup feature, which could let a remote authenticated malicious user obtain sensitive information; a vulnerability exists when FrontPage extensions are turned on or off, which could let a remote authenticated malicious user change ownership of critical files; and a vulnerability exists in the '_private' directory when FrontPage extensions are turned on or off, which could let a remote authenticated malicious user change permissions on any file on the target system to 0755.

The vendor has released fixes dealing with this issue. Users are advised to update to the latest Edge or Current version of cPanel. This update can be uploaded from WHM under 'Update to Latest Version' if the update preferences are set to 'Edge' or 'Current'.
