Summary of Security Items from June 29 through July 6, 2005
The CISA Vulnerability Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database (NVD) in the past week. NVD is sponsored by CISA. In some cases, the vulnerabilities in the bulletin may not yet have assigned CVSS scores. Please visit NVD for updated vulnerability entries, which include CVSS scores once they are available.
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 vulnerabilities that appeared 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.
Vulnerabilities
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:
Note: Even though a vulnerability may allow several malicious acts to be performed, only the highest level risk will be defined in the Risk column.
- 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.

The section below contains wireless vulnerabilities, articles, and viruses/trojans identified during this reporting period.
- New Wireless Broadband Technology Touted: Backers of a narrow band wireless technology that uses low frequencies alongside existing activity on the wireless transmission spectrum claim better reach than next generation WiMax wireless, with a lower cost because of the sub-gigahertz spectrum and low power required for the solution. Source: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/8OGbT3UKPWiiC4/New-Wireless-Broadband-Technology-Touted.xhtml.
- Threat From Mobile Device Viruses a Sleeping Giant: Communication security experts do not all agree that cell phone and mobile device viruses pose imminent threats to U.S. consumers. Whether virus attacks become a problem in six months or five years might depend on how cell phone carriers react now to the threat potential. Source: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/44222.html.
Wireless Vulnerabilities
- Symbian Trojan drains the life from phones: Virus writers have created a new Symbian Trojan called Doomboot-A that loads an earlier mobile virus (Commwarrior-B) onto vulnerable smartphones. Doomboot-A also preventing infected phones from booting up properly. This cocktail of viral effects spells extra trouble for Symbian Series 60 smartphone users, especially those who play around with pirated games.

- Reverse engineering patches making disclosure a moot choice? In a paper published in early June, SABRE researchers discussed how they had pinpointed, in less than 30 minutes, the flaw fixed by a Microsoft update to the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). A reliable exploit for the flaw was created in less than 10 hours. In another example in the paper, the tool was used to discover in less the 3 hours that Microsoft had corrected a communications vulnerability in the Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, but had missed the same vulnerability in other parts of the system.

- Cybercrime cost about $400 billion: A report that was commissioned by McAfee discusses how organized crime and cyber crime are developing, and looks at the future threat this activity could pose to home computers, government computer networks, and to computer systems in the business sector. The report reveals a hierarchy of cyber criminals, discussing the recent evolution of the amateur cyber delinquent to the professional cyber gang.

- Exploit for Vulnerability in XML-RPC: US-CERT is aware of a working public exploit for a vulnerability in a common PHP extension module (XML-RPC) that could allow a remote attacker to execute code of their choosing on a vulnerable system. Any application, typically web-based, that uses a flawed XML-RPC PHP implementation is vulnerable to exploitation. Source: http://www.us-cert.gov/current/.
- Exploit for Vulnerability in Microsoft's JVIEW Profiler (javaprxy.dll): US-CERT is aware of a working public exploit for a vulnerability in the Microsoft JVIEW Profiler (javaprxy.dll) component, an interface to the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. This vulnerability can be exploited when a user attempts to view an HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message) that attempts to instantiate the JVIEW Profiler COM object in a certain way.

The email directs the user to download and install an executable that is supposed to be a cumulative patch. Through the use of social engineering that attacker is hoping to trick the user into thinking they will be installing a cumulative patch when in fact they are installing a version of SDBot, a commonly used Trojan horse.

- Hackers crack two-factor security: IT experts warned that two-factor authentication is not secure enough to stop Internet banking fraud. "Two-factor is good, but hackers are responding," Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, told vnunet.com."The latest generation of spyware not only includes key-loggers that trap passwords, but screen-grabbing software. This takes multiple images of what the user is doing and sends it straight to the hacker." Source: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2139253/two-factor-authentication.
- E-mails hit record in May as criminals go phishing: According to IBM Corporation, the number of phishing attacks soared to a record high in May, as massive volumes of scam e-mails were pumped out by criminals seeking to dupe unsuspecting victims. In May, more than 9.1 million e-mails containing a phishing scam were detected, more than three times the 2.8 million detected in April and 18 per cent higher than the previous record of 7.7 million recorded in January.

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.
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Rank | Common Name | Type of Code |
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Trend | Date |
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Description |
| 1 | Netsky-P | Win 32 Worm | Slight Increase | March 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. The worm also tries to spread through various file-sharing programs by copying itself into various shared folders. |
| 2 | Zafi-D | Win 32 Worm | Increase | December 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that sends itself to email addresses gathered from the infected computer. The worm may also attempt to lower security settings, terminate processes, and open a back door on the compromised computer. |
| 3 | Mytob.c | Win 32 Worm | Decrease | March 2004 | A mass-mailing worm with IRC backdoor functionality which can also infect computers vulnerable to the Windows LSASS (MS04-011) exploit. The worm will attempt to harvest email addresses from the local hard disk by scanning files. |
| 4 | Netsky-Q | Win 32 Worm | Slight Decrease | March 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that attempts to launch Denial of Service attacks against several web pages, deletes the entries belonging to several worms, and emits a sound through the internal speaker. |
| 4 | Mytob-BE | Win 32 Worm | New | June 2005 | A slight variant of the mass-mailing worm that utilizes an IRC backdoor, LSASS vulnerability, and email to propagate. Harvesting addresses from the Windows address book, disabling antivirus, and modifying data. |
| 6 | Lovgate.w | Win 32 Worm | Stable | April 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that propagates via by using MAPI as a reply to messages, by using an internal SMTP, by dropping copies of itself on network shares, and through peer-to-peer networks. Attempts to access all machines in the local area network. |
| 6 | Netsky-Z | Win 32 Worm | Increase | April 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that is very close to previous variants. The worm spreads in e-mails, but does not spread to local network and P2P and does not uninstall Bagle worm. The worm has a backdoor that listens on port 665. |
| 6 | Mytob-AS | Win 32 Worm | New | June 2005 | A slight variant of the mass-mailing worm that disables security related programs and processes, redirection various sites, and changing registry values. This version downloads code from the net and utilizes its own email engine. |
| 9 | Netsky-D | Win 32 Worm | Decrease | March 2004 | A simplified variant of the Netsky mass-mailing worm in that it does not contain many of the text strings that were present in NetSky.C and it does not copy itself to shared folders. Netsky.D spreads itself in e-mails as an executable attachment only. |
| 10 | Mytob-EP | Win 32 Worm | New | June 2005 | Another slight variant of the mass-mailing worm that utilizes an IRC backdoor and LSASS vulnerability to propagate. Also propagates by email, harvesting addresses from the Windows address book. |
Table Updated July 5, 2005
Viruses or Trojans Considered to be a High Level of Threat
- Hackers unleash industrial spy Trojan: IT security experts have detected a malware-based hack attack that attempts to gain unauthorized access to the networks of specifically targeted domains.
Security firm MessageLabs, which discovered the attack, explained that the Trojan targets only a small number of email addresses rather than mass mailing itself to as many recipients as possible.
The infected emails were transmitted to a highly targeted list of recipients at only four domains, suggesting that the hackers were using the malware for industrial espionage. The attack is designed to exploit a vulnerability in Microsoft Word caused by a buffer overflow when handling macro names.
