Summary of Security Items from December 1 through December 7, 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.

A vulnerability was reported in Apache running on an Apple HFS+ filesystem. A remote malicious user may be able to directly access file data or resource fork contents. Apple reported that a remote user can supply a specially crafted HTTP request to bypass the Apache file handler and directly access certain content using the special file names. The Apple HFS+ filesystem permits files to have multiple data streams and be access via special filenames.

A vulnerability exists in the kernel which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of sensitive information or cause a Denial of Service. The vulnerability is caused due to an error in "/proc/curproc/cmdline" of the procfs file system and "/proc/self/cmdline" of the linprocfs file system when reading an argument vector from a process address space. This can be exploited to disclose parts of kernel memory or crash a vulnerable system. Successful exploitation requires that the procfs or linprocfs file system is mounted.
