Cyber Security Bulletin SB05-068archive

Summary of Security Items from March 2 through March 8, 2005

Information in the US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation and includes information published by outside sources, so the information should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis. Software vulnerabilities are categorized in the appropriate section reflecting the operating system on which the vulnerability was reported; however, this does not mean that the vulnerability only affects the operating system reported since this information is obtained from open-source information.

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 exists due to a failure to secure critical functionality from default users, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.

Workaround:

- create a new administrator account
- in Administration / Properties, uncheck Options / Allow all access to localhost.

Do not forget to adjust the "local machine" properties to use the new administration account.

There is no exploit code required; however, a Proof of Concept exploit has been published.

CUPS 1.1.22

A vulnerability was reported in CUPS in the processing of HPGL files. A remote malicious user can cause arbitrary code to be executed by the target user. A remote user can create a specially crafted HPGL file that, when printed by the target user with CUPS, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system. The code will run with the privileges of the 'lp' user. The buffer overflow resides in the ParseCommand() function in 'hpgl-input.c.'

Fixes are available in the CVS repository and are included in version 1.1.23rc1.

Two vulnerabilities exist: remote Denial of Service vulnerability exists in the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) functionality due to a failure to handle unexpected network data; and buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the 'gopherToHTML()' function due to insufficient validation of user-supplied strings, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code.
