    As the fallout to last week's Anna Kournijova virus outbreak subsides,
    a few points were driven home by the siege. First, organizations that
    had an effective incident response capability clearly came out on top.
    Many companies were able to identify the virus early on, and shut down
    their SMTP connectors until updated antivirus signatures became
    available. Second, organizations that did not have INBOUND antivirus
    mail scanners attached to their Exchange systems were reminded once
    again of the benefit of doing so. Unfortunately, many administrators
    found out the hard way that Exchange's inflexible mail-filtering
    abilities often come up short.

    Finally, a few antivirus vendors came out of the fiasco shining. For
    example, the SANS GIAC project received numerous reports from TrendMicro
    customers who were unaffected by the outbreak. Apparently, TrendMicro
    identified the virus over the weekend and successfully pushed out
    effective signature updates to their clients before Anna hit hard on
    Monday. While organizations will continue to be plagued by virus
    outbreaks, it's nice to see some effective executions on the incident
    response front.

    Until next week,
     - Security Alert Consensus Team

                    buffer overflow

    Pi3Web Web server version 1.0.1 has been found to contain a remotely
    exploitable buffer overflow in the handling of ISAPI requests, whereby
    a remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server. Pi3Web has
    also been found to disclose full file paths when a request to a
    nonexistent file is made. This vulnerability has not been confirmed.

    *** {01.08.006} BSD - USER_LDT allows call gates to execute protected
                    kernel code

    Because of a bug in NetBSD's user-definable local descriptor table
    support, a local user is able to define a segment call gate and execute
    protected kernel code. This allows a local attacker to gain root access
    or crash the system. The vendor has confirmed this vulnerability.

    NetBSD's GENERIC and GENERIC-LAPTOP kernels prior to January 18, 2001,
    contain the vulnerability. There is also a discussion (URL referenced
    below) about OpenBSD containing the vulnerability when used in
    combination with the WINE Windows emulator (USER_LDT is required for
    WINE to work).

    *** {01.08.015} Cross - Multiple KTH Kerberos IV vulnerabilities
                    (libkrb, telnetd, temp file)

    FreeBSD has released an advisory detailing multiple vulnerabilities in
    its included Kerberos IV support, which is based on the KTH Kerberos
    distribution. There is a buffer overflow in the libkrb library and
    temporary file mishandling by the ticket management routines, neither
    telnetd nor login properly filter Kerberos-related environment variables
    on login. The vulnerabilities may allow both remote and local attackers
    to gain root access to the system. FreeBSD has confirmed these
    vulnerabilities.

    FreeBSD 3.5 and 4.2 STABLE as of December 15, 2000, contain the fixed
    versions. Individual patches are available at the URL referenced below.

    *** {01.08.034} Cross - PGP4Pine expired keys cause mail to be sent
                    unencrypted

    PGP4Pine version 1.75-6 has been found to improperly handle expired
    public keys when used in combination with gpg. If a public key is
    expired, gpg will abort the encryption; however, PGP4Pine continues to
    send the e-mail--unencrypted.

    *** {01.08.037} Cross - Kicq embedded URL command execution

    Kicq version 1.0.0 (and possibly others) has been found to directly pass
    URLs in messages to a command line viewer. This allows a remote attacker
    to embed shell metacharacters in a URL, resulting in the execution of
    arbitrary command line commands should a user click on a malicious URL
    embedded in a received message. This vulnerability has not been
    confirmed.

    No patches have been made available.
