    4. Forcing Teamwork on Redmond
    By Tim Mullen

    Recently while traveling in Ireland I was surprised to see that the
    procedures followed by airline security, both while arriving-in and
    departing-from the country, were far less restrictive and invasive than
    here in the states. Even in London's Heathrow airport, a "tight schedule"
    backed by a little social engineering allowed me to bypass much of the
    security that was in place.

    II. BUGTRAQ SUMMARY
    -------------------
    1. Microsoft Outlook IFrame Embedded URL Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4334
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 21 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4334
    Summary:

    An issue has been reported in Microsoft Outlook which could initiate a
    file download from a web site, without the user attempting to access the
    site.

    The HTML content tag known as IFrame, which is used to embed another frame
    or web page inside the main one, is reportedly used to exploit this issue.

    This issue occurs if an HTML email message is crafted with a URL embedded
    in the IFrame tag. Upon the user opening the mail message, Outlook will
    automatically connect to the embedded web page. If the URL is pointing to
    a file, Outlook will prompt the user with a download dialog box.

    This issue could be used to initiate the download of malicious files, or
    exploit other known IE issues.

    2. Apache Win32 Batch File Remote Command Execution Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4335
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 21 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4335
    Summary:

    A vulnerability has been discovered in the batch file handler for Apache
    on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    Special characters (such as |) may not be filtered by the batch file
    handler when a web request is made for a batch file. As a result, a remote
    attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands on the host running the
    vulnerable software. This may be exploited via a specially crafted web
    request which contains the arbitrary commands to be executed.

    It should be noted that webservers on Windows operating systems normally
    run with SYSTEM privileges. The consequences of exploitation is that a
    remote attacker may be able to fully compromise a host running the
    vulnerable software.

    The 2.0.x series of Apache for Microsoft Windows ships with a test batch
    file which may be exploited to execute arbitrary commands. Since this
    issue is in the batch file handler, any batch file which is accessible via
    the web is appropriate for the purposes of exploitation.

    3. Microsoft Outlook Javascript Execution Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4337
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 21 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4337
    Summary:

    An issue has been reported in Microsoft Outlook which could cause a user
    to unknowingly execute Javascript embedded in an HTML email message.

    Reportedly, the issue lies in the handling of the javascript: protocol,
    which enables the execution of statements rather than loading a new page,
    and the about: protocol.

    Apparently, Javascript embedded in the "about:" or "javascript:" URL of an
    HREF attribute, could exploit this issue. Upon the recipient attempting to
    access the link, embedded Javascript will execute even if scripting is
    disabled in IE.

    4. Microsoft Outlook IFrame Embedded Media Player File Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4340
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 21 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4340
    Summary:

    An issue has been reported with Microsoft Outlook which may result in the
    automatic execution of JavaScript in HTML formatted email.

    Reportedly, this vulnerability may be exploited through an embedded
    IFRAME. If the IFRAME references one of a number of file extensions
    associated with Windows Media Player, it will be opened automatically.

    The file may then contain JavaScript which is automatically executed. This
    JavaScript may, in turn, open an arbitrary web page through usage of the
    player.LaunchURL() method. This page may contain additional JavaScript, or
    reference code through a javascript: or about: URL.

    File types reported to exhibit this behavior are WMS, ASX, WMZ, WMD and
    WMA. Additional file types may also exploit this vulnerability, although
    this has not been confirmed.

    Additional versions of Outlook may share this vulnerability. This has not,
    however, been confirmed.

    5. Qualcomm Eudora WebBrowser Control Embedded Media Player File Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4343
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 22 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4343
    Summary:

    The WebBrowser control is used in some email clients in order to launch
    Internet Explorer to render HTML content.

    An issue has been reported with email clients using the WebBrowser control
    which may result in the automatic execution of JavaScript in HTML
    formatted email.

    Reportedly, this vulnerability may be exploited through an embedded
    <t:video> tag. If the image tag references one of a number of file
    extensions associated with Windows Media Player, it will be opened
    automatically.

    The file may then contain JavaScript which is automatically executed. This
    JavaScript may, in turn, open an arbitrary web page or application through
    usage of the player.LaunchURL() method. This page may contain additional
    JavaScript, or reference code through a JavaScript: or about: URL.

    When exploited in conjunction with the issues described in BID 4306, it is
    possible to execute arbitrary script code in the My Computer zone.

    The discoverer of this vulnerability has speculated that Microsoft Outlook
    and Outlook Express may also be vulnerable to this issue. This has not
    been tested or proven as of yet.

    6. Gravity Storm Service Pack Manager 2000 Directory Permissions Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4347
    Remote: No
    Date Published: Mar 22 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4347
    Summary:

    Gravity Storm Service Pack Manager 2000 is an application designed to
    detect, track, monitor, and install Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Service
    Packs and Hotfixes on your network.

    Reportedly, when Gravity Storm Service Pack Manager is installed it
    creates a hidden share (SPM2000c$) which is mapped to the local c: drive.

    An issue has been reported in Service Pack Manager, which allows the
    everyone group read and write permissions to the System32 directory.

    As a result, local users could gain access to this share (SPM2000c$) and
    peruse C:\winnt\system32 with read and write permissions.

    It should be noted that the 'C:\winnt\system32\repair' directory, has only
    been reported to allow read access.

    7. VBulletin Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4349
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 21 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4349
    Summary:

    vBulletin is commercial web forum software written in PHP and back-ended
    by a MySQL database. It will run on most Linux and Unix variants, as well
    as Microsoft operating systems.

    vBulletin does not filter HTML tags from URL parameters, making it prone
    to cross-site scripting attacks.

    As a result, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious
    link containing script code which will be executed in the browser of a
    legitimate user, in the context of the website running vBulletin.

    This issue may be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication
    credentials from legitimate users of the website running the vulnerable
    software. Cookie-based authentication credentials may be used by the
    attacker to hijack the session of the legitimate user.

    8. VNC HTTP Server Denial Of Service Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4345
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 21 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4345
    Summary:

    VNC is the Virtual Network Computing software package, freely available
    from AT&T. The software package is designed to allow remote desktop access
    to a user that has sufficient privileges. It is available for Unix and
    Linux variants, as well as Microsoft operating systems.

    It has been discovered that a vulnerability exists in Red Hat VNC
    packages. The VNC server includes a small HTTP server implementation. It
    has been discovered that a condition exists which has the potential to
    deny service to legitimate VNC users. It is possible to cause the HTTP
    server implementation to wait indefinitely for input, effectively
    disrupting an active VNC session.

    If such a condition is to occur, the VNC server will need to be restarted
    to regain normal functionality.

    It is not currently known whether other versions of VNC are affected by
    this issue.

    9. Alguest Cookie Falsification Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4355
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 24 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4355
    Summary:

    Alguest is a guestbook program, written in PHP and back-ended by a MySQL
    database. It will run on most Unix and Linux variants, as well as
    Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    Alguest allows administrators to authenticate via cookie-based
    authentication credentials. However, Alguest administrative cookies are
    not properly checked for administrative rights (via a shared secret,
    credentials such as username/password, etc.). Alguest only checks that an
    administrative cookie exists. As a result, it is trivial for a remote
    attacker to falsify an administrative cookie.

    10. Apache Double-Reverse Lookup Log Entry Spoofing Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4358
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 25 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4358
    Summary:

    Apache is a freely available webserver for Unix and Linux variants, as
    well as Microsoft operating systems.

    A vulnerability has been discovered in the way Apache logs double-reverse
    DNS lookups. This may cause Apache to log invalid hostname information.

    A double-reverse DNS lookup is a security measure where an IP address is
    translated to a hostname and then the hostname is translated back to the
    IP address.

    If a double-reverse DNS lookup is performed but fails, then an invalid
    hostname may appear in the logs. For example, this may occur if the
    hostname does not properly resolve to the IP address in the double-reverse
    DNS lookup. This problem occurs because Apache logs the (potentially
    falsified) hostname instead of the numeric IP address.

    A remote attacker may deliberately exploit this issue to cause spoofed
    information to be logged by the webserver.

    11. CSSearch Remote Command Execution Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4368
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 26 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4368
    Summary:

    csSearch is a website search script, written in Perl. It will run on most
    Unix and Linux variants, as well as Microsoft operating systems.

    csSearch is prone to an issue which may enable an attacker to execute Perl
    code with the privileges of the webserver process.

    It is possible to craft a web request which is capable of passing
    arbitrary data to the configuration script, including attacker-supplied
    Perl code. Perl code passed in this manner will be interpreted by the
    vulnerable script, effectively allowing a remote attacker to execute
    arbitrary Perl code with the privileges of the webserver process.

    For exploitation to be successful, the attacker must pass properly URL
    encoded Perl code in CGI parameters via a web request. For example:

    http://host/cgi-bin/csSearch.cgi?command=savesetup&setup=PERL_CODE_HERE

    This issue may enable a remote attacker to gain local, interactive access
    to the host running the vulnerable software.

    12. Microsoft Outlook Disabled Cookies Setting Bypass Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 4341
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Mar 21 2002 12:00A
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4341
    Summary:

    An issue has been reported which could disclose cookie information to
    remote web hosts via HTML email messages.

    Reportedly, if an HTML email referencing an image tag that points to a
    graphic residing on a remote server is sent to an Outlook user, upon the
    recipient opening the email, any appropriate cookies are sent to the
    remote server. Apparently, this process takes place if cookies are
    disabled in Outlook. This issue is due to the way IE and Outlook security
    settings fail to work in accordance. The remote server may also use this
    method to set cookies on the client machine.

    As a result, remote web hosts can gather cookie information and possibly
    misuse the information.

    It should be noted that this issue has not been tested and confirmed yet.
    Updates will be made as additional information becomes available.

    Summary:

    Distributed Network Attack, or DNA, is a new approach to recovering
    password protected files. In the past, recoveries have been limited to the
    processing power of one machine. DNA uses the power of machines across the
    network or across the world to decrypt password Microsoft Word and Excel
    documents. And with the latest update, DNA decrypts password protected
    Adobe Acrobat (PDF) documents. And because it is an exhaustive key search,
    not a dictionary based attack, you are guaranteed recovery.
