Summary of Security Items from October 6 through October 12, 2004

Released
Oct 12, 2004
Document ID
SB04-287

The CISA Vulnerability Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded in the past week. In some cases, the vulnerabilities in the bulletin may not yet have assigned CVSS scores.

Vulnerabilities are based on the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) vulnerability naming standard and are organized according to severity, determined by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) standard. The division of high, medium, and low severities correspond to the following scores:

  • High: vulnerabilities with a CVSS base score of 7.0–10.0
  • Medium: vulnerabilities with a CVSS base score of 4.0–6.9
  • Low: vulnerabilities with a CVSS base score of 0.0–3.9

Entries may include additional information provided by organizations and efforts sponsored by CISA. This information may include identifying information, values, definitions, and related links. Patch information is provided when available. Please note that some of the information in the bulletin is compiled from external, open-source reports and is not a direct result of CISA analysis. 


This bulletin provides a summary of new or updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, viruses, and trojans. Updates to items appearing in previous bulletins are listed in bold text. The text in the Risk column appears in red for vulnerabilities ranking High. The risks levels applied to vulnerabilities in the Cyber Security Bulletin are based on how the "system" may be impacted. The Recent Exploit/Technique table contains a "Workaround or Patch Available" column that indicates whether a workaround or patch has been published for the vulnerability which the script exploits.

Bugs,
Holes, & Patches

The table below summarizes vulnerabilities that have been identified, even if they are not being exploited. Complete details about patches or workarounds are available from the source of the information or from the URL provided in the section. CVE numbers are listed where applicable. Vulnerabilities that affect both Windows and Unix Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems section.

Note: All the information included in the following tables has been discussed in newsgroups and on web sites.

The Risk levels defined below are based on how the system may be impacted:

  • High - A high-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder to immediately gain privileged access (e.g., sysadmin or root) to the system or allow an intruder to execute code or alter arbitrary system files. An example of a high-risk vulnerability is one that allows an unauthorized user to send a sequence of instructions to a machine and the machine responds with a command prompt with administrator privileges.
  • Medium - A medium-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder immediate access to a system with less than privileged access. Such vulnerability will allow the intruder the opportunity to continue the attempt to gain privileged access. An example of medium-risk vulnerability is a server configuration error that allows an intruder to capture the password file.
  • Low - A low-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will provide information to an intruder that could lead to further compromise attempts or a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. It should be noted that while the DoS attack is deemed low from a threat potential, the frequency of this type of attack is very high. DoS attacks against mission-critical nodes are not included in this rating and any attack of this nature should instead be considered to be a "High" threat.

A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in which arbitrary root certificates are imported silently without presenting users with a import dialog box. Due to another problem, this can e.g. be exploited by malicious websites or HTML-based emails to prevent users from accessing valid SSL sites.

Workaround: Check the certificate store and delete untrusted certificates if an error message is displayed with error code -8182 ("certificate presented by [domain] is invalid or corrupt") when attempting to access a SSL-based website.

Mozilla.org

Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 and Mozilla 1.7.1 on Windows

Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 on Linux

A spoofing vulnerability exists that could allow malicious sites to abuse SSL certificates of other sites. An attacker could make the browser load a valid certificate from a trusted website by using a specially crafted "onunload" event. The problem is that Mozilla loads the certificate from a trusted website and shows the "secure padlock" while actually displaying the content of the malicious website. The URL shown in the address bar correctly reads that of the malicious website.

An additional cause has been noted due to Mozilla not restricting websites from including arbitrary, remote XUL (XML User Interface Language) files.

Workaround: Do not follow links from untrusted websites and verify the correct URL in the address bar with the one in the SSL certificate.

  • The SANS Institute has released their annual Twenty Most Critical Internet Security Vulnerabilities. The top 20 list is a consensus list of vulnerabilities that require immediate remediation. This list is located at http://www.sans.org/top20/. The list is actually two Top Ten lists: the ten most commonly exploited vulnerable services in Windows and the ten most commonly exploited vulnerable services in UNIX and Linux.

  • To show how long viruses and worms live and spread on the Internet, Kaspersky Labs noted that its monthly Top 20 report for September was the first list this year that didn't contain malicious code from 2003. For more information, see http://www.kaspersky.com/news?id=153142439.

  • Exploit codes for the Microsoft JPEG graphics handling vulnerability are still being released. If you have not patched for the MS04-28 vulnerability, please do so. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-028.mspx for more information.

Top Ten Virus Threats


A list of high threat viruses, as reported to various anti-virus vendors and virus incident reporting organizations, has been ranked and categorized in the table below. For the purposes of collecting and collating data, infections involving multiple systems at a single location are considered a single infection. It is therefore possible that a virus has infected hundreds of machines but has only been counted once. With the number of viruses that appear each month, it is possible that a new virus will become widely distributed before the next edition of this publication. To limit the possibility of infection, readers are reminded to update their anti-virus packages as soon as updates become available. The table lists the viruses by ranking (number of sites affected), common virus name, type of virus code (i.e., boot, file, macro, multi-partite, script), trends (based on number of infections reported since last week), and approximate date first found.

Viruses or Trojans Considered to be a High Level of Threat



  • QHosts-18 / Downloader.Lunii: A new Trojan horse program that attacks and removes troublesome advertising software, known as "adware," is circulating on the Internet. When run, it attempts to kill off computer processes and delete files used by common adware programs. However, like other Trojan horse programs, it also modifies the configuration of Microsoft Windows machines and attempts to download files from a remote location. (PCWorld, October 7, 2004)

  • Funner: Upon infection, this worm attempts to spread itself through the host's MSN Messenger contact list. In addition, the worm alters the Windows's host file, adding more than 900 URLs. Most security services categorize this attack as a nuisance and the spread in the wild is light. (eWeek, October 11, 2004)


The following table provides, in alphabetical order, a list of new viruses, variations of previously encountered viruses, and Trojans that have been discovered during the period covered by this bulletin. This information has been compiled from the following anti-virus vendors: Sophos, Trend Micro, Symantec, McAfee, Network Associates, Central Command, F-Secure, Kaspersky Labs, MessageLabs, Panda Software, Computer Associates, and The WildList Organization International. Users should keep anti-virus software up to date and should contact their anti-virus vendors to obtain specific information on the Trojans and Trojan variants that anti-virus software detects.


NOTE: At times, viruses and Trojans may contain names or content that may be considered offensive.
