Cyber Security Bulletin SB05-145archive

Summary of Security Items from May 18 through May 24, 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 vulnerabilities that appeared 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.


Vulnerabilities

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:

Note: Even though a vulnerability may allow several malicious acts to be performed, only the highest level risk will be defined in the Risk column.

  • 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.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported: a vulnerability was reported in the 'EMBED' tag for non-installed plugins when processing the 'PLUGINSPAGE' attribute due to an input validation error, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code; a vulnerability was reported because blocked popups that are opened through the GUI incorrectly run with 'chrome' privileges, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code; a vulnerability was reported because the global scope of a window or tab are not cleaned properly before navigating to a new web site, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code; a vulnerability was reported because the URL of a 'favicons' icon for a web site isn't verified before changed via JavaScript, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges; a vulnerability was reported because the search plugin action URL is not properly verified before used to perform a search, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code; a vulnerability was reported due to the way links are opened in a sidebar when using the '_search' target, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code; several input validation vulnerabilities were reported when handling invalid type parameters passed to 'InstallTrigger' and 'XPInstall' related objects, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code; and vulnerabilities were reported due to insufficient validation of DOM nodes in certain privileged UI code, which could let a remote malicious user execute arbitrary code.
