If NcFTP client has been launched with an ftp site URI as an argument, this argument will be visible in the 'ps -aux' process list.

23. Multiple Vendor TCP Sequence Number Approximation Vulnerabil...
BugTraq ID: 10183
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 20 2004
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10183
Summary:
A vulnerability in TCP implementations has been reported that may permit unauthorized remote users to reset TCP sessions. This issue affects products released by multiple vendors. This issue may permit TCP sequence numbers to be more easily approximated by remote attackers.

The cause of the vulnerability is that affected implementations will accept TCP sequence numbers within a certain range of the expected sequence number for a packet in the session. This will permit a remote attacker to inject a SYN or RST packet into the session, causing it to be reset and effectively allowing for denial of service attacks. An attacker would exploit this issue by sending a packet to a receiving implementation with an approximated sequence number and a forged source IP and TCP port.

There are a few factors that may present viable target implementations, such as those which depend on long-lived TCP connections, those which have known or easily guessed IP address endpoints and those implementations with known or easily guessed TCP source ports. It has been noted that Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is reported to be particularly vulnerable to this type of attack. As a result, this issue is likely to affect a number of routing platforms.

It should be noted that while a number of vendors have confirmed this issue in various products, investigations are ongoing and it is likely that many other vendors and products will turn out to be vulnerable as the issue is investigated further.

Other consequences may also result from this issue, such as injecting specific data in TCP sessions, though this has not been confirmed.

24. BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express Illegal URI Pattern...
BugTraq ID: 10184

Summary:
It has been reported that WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express may be prone to a vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to potentially gain access to sensitive resources. This issue results from a change in functionality that was deployed as part of WebLogic Server and Express versions 7.x and later. Users employing the illegal URI patterns for access controls and migrating to subsequent versions of the software could be affected by this issue.

25. BEA WebLogic Server/Express EJB Object Removal Denial Of Ser...
BugTraq ID: 10185
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 20 2004
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10185
Summary:
BEA has reported a vulnerability in both WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express that may result in unauthorized removal of EJB (Enterprise Java Bean) Objects. The issue is reported to present itself when an application invokes a remove() method from an EJB. When this method is called, the EJB remote object will be unexported, regardless of the permissions of the caller of the method.

An attacker who has sufficient access to trigger a call to a remove() method in an EJB may potentially deny service to services that depend on the EJB.

BugTraq ID: 10193
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 22 2004
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10193
Summary:
It has been reported that the xine media player and the xine media library are affected by multiple remote file overwrite vulnerabilities. This is due to a design error that allows various media resource file configurations to write to arbitrary files.

It is possible to set these configuration parameters to write to arbitrary files on the affected system. It should be noted that this issue, as it is currently known, only affects Sun based systems as well as those using the DXR3 or Hollywood+ MPEG decoder audio card. It has been conjectured however that similar configuration parameters exists that affect other systems.

2. radmind v1.3.0
By: UMich RSUG
Relevant URL: http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/radmind/
Platforms: FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS, OpenBSD, Solaris, SunOS, UNIX
Summary:

radmind is a suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. At its core, radmind operates as a tripwire. It is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change. Each managed machine may have its own loadset composed of multiple, layered overloads. This allows, for example, the operating system to be described separately from applications. Loadsets are stored on a remote server. By updating a loadset on the server, changes can be pushed to managed machines.

3. Fast Logging Project for Snort v1.2.1
By: DG <Dirk (at) geschke.online (dot) de [email concealed]>
Relevant URL: http://www.geschke-online.de/FLoP
Platforms: Linux, Solaris, SunOS
Summary:

FLoP is designed to gather alerts with a payload from distributed Snort sensors at a central server, and to store them in a database (PostgreSQL and MySQL are supported). On the sensor, the output is written via a Unix domain socket to a process called sockserv. This process is threaded; one receives and buffers the alert packets, and the other thread forwards them to a central server. With this approach, the output is decoupled from Snort, which can proceed in sniffing instead of waiting for the output plugins. At the central server, a process called servsock gathers all alerts from the remote sensors and feeds them via a Unix domain socket to the database. All alerts are buffered to avoid blocking due to a hanging database access (or a slow network on the senor side). A short description of alerts with high priority together with the database ID can be sent via email to a list of recipients.

4. SSpamM v0.2
By: Sami-Pekka Hallikas
Relevant URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sspamm/

By: Rob Fowler
Relevant URL: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/tcap/projdisplay.php
Platforms: Linux, POSIX
Summary:

This is a Unix daemon that captures traffic packet size, source, destination, and times and saves this data into a postgres database in near real time, from which traffic reports may be made. It does not save the actual data or headers. Works on ethX or cooked devices like ppp0. It uses Postgres embedded SQL to insert the data, pcap to capture traffic, and pthreads to capure and write at the same time. It is written in C++ using STL. Pcap filters can be specified on the command line. Logs go to syslog.

6. Chwinpw v1.0
By: <tevfik (at) itefix (dot) no [email concealed]>
