“Thirty-four vulnerabilities — the majority of them
critical — have been identified in multiple versions of
Oracle’s database server. “Most of the flaws are
critical,” said David Litchfield, a researcher at UK-based
NGSSoftware, whose company discovered the flaws. “One allows an
attacker to gain control of the database server without a userID or
password. Others allow low-privileged users (i.e. those that do have a
userID and password) to gain complete control of the database
server.”…

Security Experts to Microsoft: SP2 Has
Critical Flaws
Security Experts to Microsoft: SP2 Has
Critical Flaws
08/20/2004 06:23 AMGerman Internet security experts Heise Security have discovered what
it calls two "flaws" in Service Pack 2. Microsoft has said
its Service Pack 2 offers users the latest security
"innovations," but Internet security experts said hackers
could exploit cracks in SP2 defences to exploit a user's computer.
According to Heise Security, "Computer hackers could evade SP2's
new security features and infect a computer that uses Windows with a
virus or a worm." Heise further explains that Windows also does
not source information properly if files are overwritten so that it
can "be tricked to execute files from the Internet" without
sparking a warning, even if users install the new SP2 update.
A Microsoft spokesperson addressed the warning by saying,
"Microsoft has investigated these reports and is not aware of any
instance in which an attacker could specifically bypass the service in
email or a Web browser to allow a malicious attacker access to a
user's system. We continue to encourage customers to review and
install Windows XP SP2."

Patches issued for critical RealPlayer
flaws
Patches issued for critical RealPlayer
flaws
06/24/2005 06:55 PMRealNetworks has issued patches to four vulnerabiliites in its
RealPlayer media software, some of which could allow an attacker to
run unauthorized code on the user's computer.

The most serious of the bugs, which affects RealPlayers on the
Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems, takes advantage of a
bug in the RealText file format that is used in SMIL (Synchronized
Multimedia Integration Language) files, according to Michael Sutton,
director of iDefense's labs. "This is something that somebody could be
vulnerable to without really taking much action. They could double
click on a file, or go to a URL that somebody sent them in an
mail."
Sutton has not yet seen anyone publicly release software that could
take advantage of any of the four bugs, but researchers at iDefense
labs in Reston, Va., have privately developed code that exploits the
RealText vulnerability.
The other RealPlayer flaws could be triggered by malicious code
inserted into MP3, AVI, (audio video interleaved) or RM (real media)
files, and affect only the Windows version of RealPlayer, according to
an advisory issued by RealNetworks.
Version 3 of the Rhapsody player for RealNetworks's online music
service is also affected by one of the vulnerabilities, RealNetworks
said.
