Vulnerability with XP SP2

Vulnerability with XP SP2 08/18/2004 06:29 AM
Just to bare in mind, Microsoft are dealing with this and are holding off SP2s release on Automatic Update because of it. There's a bug in the implementation of a new security feature; it'd be hard to criticize Microsoft too hard for this problem.

"With Service Pack 2, Microsoft introduces a new security feature which warns users before executing files that originate from an untrusted location (zone) such as the Internet. There are two flaws in the implementation of this feature: a cmd issue and the caching of ZoneIDs in Windows Explorer. The Windows command shell cmd ignores zone information and starts executables without warnings. Virus authors could use this to spread viruses despite the new security features of SP2.

Windows Explorer does not update zone information properly when files are overwritten. So it can be tricked to execute files from the internet without warning."

Heise do concede that it would take a fair amount of user interaction for a virus writer to use this vulnerability. However, as they point out, the powers of social engineering and playing on less IT adept people do mean that it's not that in-conceivable it could happen. With Service Pack 2, Microsoft had clearly been hoping for less vulnerabilities, and will no doubt be disappointed with this news.

PHP CGI Vulnerability

PHP CGI Vulnerability 02/20/2003 10:46 AM
PHP CGI Vulnerability I don't know how many folks are actually doing php as a CGI but if so ... [17-Feb-2003] The PHP Group today announced the details of a serious CGI vulnerability in PHP version 4.3.0. A security update, PHP 4.3.1, fixes the issue. Everyone running affected version of PHP (as CGI) are encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 4.3.1 release does not include any other changes, so upgrading from 4.3.0 is safe and painless. [_Go_] I have to commend the php team for NOT including any other changes thereby making it much more likely that affected systems get patched. Good going!

Nasty new IE vulnerability

Nasty new IE vulnerability 12/09/2003 02:34 PM

Most people reading are probably aware of the common trick whereby spammers and other assorted ne'er-do-wells publish URLs with usernames that look like hostnames to fool people in to trusting a malicious site - for example, http://www.microsoft.com&session%123123123@simon.incutio.com . This trick is frequently used by spammers to steal people's PayPal accounts, by tricking them in to "resetting" their password at a site owned by the spammer but disguised as PayPal.com.

Today's new Internet Explorer vulnerability makes the problem a hundred times worse. By including an 0x01 character after the @ symbol in the fake URL, IE can be tricked in to not displaying the rest of the URL at all. Don't expect a patch for a while either; the guy who discovered the bug released it to BugTraq on the same day he notified the vendor.

OS X security vulnerability

OS X security vulnerability 12/16/2003 06:33 PM
A new Mac OS X security vulnerability has been discovered. Apparantly this vulnerability can allow execution of arbitrary code with "root" priviledges. The issue is considered a "Less Critical" vulnerability, and affects Mac OS X 10.3.1 and possibly other versions of the operating system.

Defending against the OS X help:
vulnerability

Defending against the OS X help:
vulnerability 05/18/2004 03:05 PM

There's a nasty OS X vulnerability under discussion at the moment which lets a web page run a program on your drive by taking advantage of a flaw in the "help:" protocol. There's a non-malicious demonstration of the exploit on this page, and Jay Allen is hosting a discussion on the exploit and ways to avoid it.

To save you from digging through the discussion, the quickest way to defend yourself is to install the More Internet preference pane (mount the DMG, then copy the More Internet.prefPane file to your /Library/PreferencePanes folder or run the "install prefpane" script). Then go to system preferences, launch the "More Internet" panel, select the "help" protocol and use the Change button to assign it to some non-harmful application such as Chess (simply deleting the protocols will not solve the problem). While you're there it's a good idea to add a new protocol called "disk" and assign it to a non-harmful application as well - this prevents malicious sites from being able to auto-mount networked disk images on your system, something which while not exploitable on its own can be used in conjunction with other exploits (like the help: one) to execute arbitrary code.

For those who are interested, it seems the exploit itself is as simple as this:

<a href="help:runscript=MacHelp.help/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/shr d/OpnApp.scpt string=usr:bin:top">click to run 'top'</a>
