Summary of Security Items from January 26 through February 1, 2005
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.
Information in the US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation and includes information published by outside sources, so the information should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis. Software vulnerabilities are categorized in the appropriate section reflecting the operating system on which the vulnerability was reported; however, this does not mean that the vulnerability only affects the operating system reported since this information is obtained from open-source information.
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.

name=viruses id="viruses">Viruses/Trojans 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
Viruses or Trojans Considered to be a High Level of Threat
- .Rar files: System administrators and service providers have begun seeing virus-infected messages with a new type of attachment hitting their mail servers: an .rar archive. While not as widely known as .zip, .rar files are similar to .zip files in that they are containers used to hold one or more compressed files. One recent .rar virus is disguised as a patch from Microsoft. Anti-virus vendors have acknowledged the presence of viruses delivered as .rar files and are working to develop tools to identify and eradicate the malware. For more information, refer to: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1756636,00.asp
- Bagle: Security firms are reporting on the emergence of new Bagle virus variants that are proliferating in the wild. There are likely two different variants that are new. Many security firms have raised the threat level for the variants from moderate to severe or critical, as more instances of the rapidly spreading worm are reported. The Bagle worm contains a Trojan backdoor that allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the infected PC. In addition to having its payload distributed via an e-mail attachment, the latest variants are also proliferating via peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. For more information, refer to http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3465321
- MySQL worm: A worm that takes advantage of administrators' poor password choices has started spreading among database systems. The malicious program, known as the "MySQL bot" or by the name of its executable code, SpoolCLL, infects computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system and open-source database known as MySQL. The worm gets initial access to a database machine by guessing the password of the system administrator, using common passwords. It then uses a flaw in MySQL to run bot software which then takes full control of the system. For more information, refer to: http://news.com.com/MySQL+worm+hits+Windows+systems/2100-734 9_3-5553570.html?tag=nl
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.
