Cyber Security Bulletin SB05-026archive

Summary of Security Items from January 19 through January 25, 2005

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.

ChBg 1.5

A vulnerability was reported in ChBg. A remote malicious user can cause arbitrary code to be executed by the target user. A remote user can create a specially crafted ChBg scenario file that, when processed by the target user with ChBg, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user. The buffer overflow resides in the simplify_path() function in 'config.c.' FreeBSD is not affected because PATH_MAX is set to 1024, preventing the buffer overflow.

Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.4.26, 2.6 through 2.6.7

A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel in the processing of 64-bit file offset pointers thus allowing a local malicious user to view kernel memory. The kernel's file handling API does not properly convert 64-bit file offsets to 32-bit file offsets. In addition, the kernel provides insecure access to the file offset member variable. As a result, a local user can gain read access to large portions of kernel memory.
