“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 AM
German 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
06/24/2005 06:55 PM

RealNetworks 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.
