PART I Critical Vulnerabilities

Part I for this issue has been compiled by Rob King at TippingPoint, a division of 3Com, as a by-product of that company's continuous effort to ensure that its intrusion prevention products effectively block exploits using known vulnerabilities. TippingPoint's analysis is complemented by input from a council of security managers from twelve large organizations who confidentially share with SANS the specific actions they have taken to protect their systems. A detailed description of the process may be found at http://www.sans.org/newsletters/cva/#process

*****************************

Widely Deployed Software

*****************************

(1) CRITICAL: Novell eDirectory Multiple Vulnerabilities

Affected:

Novell eDirectory versions prior to 8.7.3 SP10 FTF1

Description: Novell eDirectory is Novell's implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). It contains multiple buffer and integer overflows in a variety of subsystems. A specially crafted request to the server could exploit one of these vulnerabilities. Successfully exploiting one of these vulnerabilities would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the vulnerable process (usually SYSTEM). The vulnerabilities exist in the server's SOAP interface and Core Protocol interface. Technical details for these vulnerabilities are publicly available.

Status: Vendor confirmed, updates available.

**********************************************************

(2) CRITICAL: Opera Multiple Vulnerabilities

Affected:

Opera versions prior to 9.60

Description: Opera is a popular cross-platform web browser and suite of internet applications. It contains multiple vulnerabilities in its handling of addresses and Java applets. A specially crafted address used in a redirection can result in a buffer overflow vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this vulnerability would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. Full technical details for this vulnerability are publicly available. Additionally, a flaw in the handling of Java applets can result in an information-disclosure vulnerability.

Status: Vendor confirmed, updates available.

**********************************************************

(3) HIGH: Multiple TCP Implementations Denial-of-Service

Affected:

Multiple TCP implementations

Description: TCP is the Transmission Control Protocol, one of the fundamental protocols of the Internet. Reports have surfaced indicating that several common implementations of the protocol suffer from a denial-of-service condition. No concrete details have been released for this vulnerability, but speculation has lead to various guesses and attempts. Current reports indicate that at least Microsoft WIndows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linux are vulnerable. It is unknown if firewalls can mitigate this vulnerability. Details of the vulnerability are expected to be revealed at the T2 security conference in mid-October.

Status: No confirmation.

**********************************************************

(4) HIGH: mIRC Private Message Handling Buffer Overflow

Affected:

mIRC versions 6.34 and prior

Description: mIRC is a popular Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for Microsoft Windows. It contains a buffer overflow in its handling of the IRC "private message" (PRIVMSG) command. A specially crafted PRIVMSG command sent to a vulnerable client could trigger this buffer overflow, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. Full technical details and a proof-of-concept are publicly available for this vulnerability. Private messages can be sent unsolicited in some networks.

Status: Vendor has not confirmed, no updates available.

Part II: Weekly Comprehensive List of Newly Discovered Vulnerabilities

Week 41, 2008

This list is compiled by Qualys ( http://www.qualys.com/ ) as part of that company's ongoing effort to ensure its vulnerability management web service tests for all known vulnerabilities that can be scanned. As of this week Qualys scans for 5549 unique vulnerabilities. For this special SANS community listing, Qualys also includes vulnerabilities that cannot be scanned remotely.
