II. MICROSOFT VULNERABILITY SUMMARY
-----------------------------------
1. Microsoft Outlook 2002 Connector For IBM Lotus Domino Policy...
BugTraq ID: 12913
Remote: No
Date Published: Mar 28 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12913
Summary:
Microsoft Outlook 2002 Connector for IBM Lotus Domino is reported prone to a policy bypass vulnerability. It is reported that the Microsoft Outlook 2002 Connector for IBM Lotus Domino saves login credentials locally even when a Group policy is in place that is supposed to prevent this.
This may result in a false sense of security. An attacker with knowledge of a valid username may employ the cached passwords to authenticate successfully to the connected IBM Lotus Domino server.
2. Bugtracker.NET Unspecified SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
BugTraq ID: 12925
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Mar 29 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12925
Summary:
Bugtracker.NET is prone to unspecified SQL injection vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities could permit remote attackers to pass malicious input to database queries, resulting in modification of query logic or other attacks.
3. ASPApp PortalAPP Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities
BugTraq ID: 12936
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Mar 29 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12936
Summary:
Multiple input validation vulnerabilities reportedly affect PortalAPP. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to using it to carry out critical actions.
The first set of issues are cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that affect the 'content.asp' script. These issues arise as the application fails to properly sanitize input passed through the offending functions before including it in dynamically generated Web content.
The second issue is an SQL injection vulnerability that affects the 'ad_click.asp' script. The application includes the value of the offending parameters without sanitization, allowing an attacker to inject SQL syntax and manipulate SQL queries.
An attacker may leverage these issues to carry out cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks against the affected application. This may result in the theft of authentication credentials, destruction or disclosure of sensitive data, and potentially other attacks.
4. FastStone 4in1 Browser Web Server Remote Directory Traversal...
BugTraq ID: 12937
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Mar 29 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12937
Summary:
A vulnerability has been identified in the handling of certain types of requests by the 4in1 Browser Web server. Because of this, it is possible for an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive system files.
This issue could be exploited to gain read access to files on a host using the vulnerable software. Read privileges granted to these files would be restricted by the permissions of the web server process.
This vulnerability is reported to affect FastStone 4in1 Browser version 1.2, previous versions might also be affected.
5. Adventia Chat Server Pro Remote HTML Injection Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 12940
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Mar 29 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12940
Summary:
A remote HTML injection vulnerability affects Adventia Chat Server Pro. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to including it in dynamically generated Web content.
An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.
6. Kerio Personal Firewall Local Network Access Restriction Byp...
BugTraq ID: 12946
Remote: No
Date Published: Mar 30 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12946
Summary:
A local network access restriction bypass vulnerability affects Kerio Personal Firewall. This issue is due to a design error that causes the application to fail to properly validate the origin of network requests.
An attacker may leverage this issue to bypass network access restrictions, potentially leading administrators to a false sense of security.
7. PAFileDB ID Parameter Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 12952
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Mar 31 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12952
Summary:
paFileDB is reported prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
The vulnerability presents itself when an attacker supplies malicious HTML and script code through the 'id' parameter.
This may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
paFileDB 3.1 and prior versions are affected by this vulnerability.
This issue may be related to BID 12788 (PAFileDB Multiple SQL Injection And Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities) and BID 12758 (PHP Arena PAFileDB Multiple Remote Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities). This BID will be retired or updated upon further analysis.
8. Microsoft Jet Database Engine Malformed Database File Buffer...
BugTraq ID: 12960
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Mar 31 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12960
Summary:
It is reported that Microsoft Jet Database Engine is vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the library to properly bounds check user-supplied database file contents.
Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the victim user attempting to access a malicious Jet database file.
This vulnerability is reported to exist in the 'msjet40.dll' library, version 4.00.8618.0. Older versions may also be affected. The 'msjetole40.dll' OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) library is reportedly immune to this vulnerability.
9. BlueSoleil Object Push Service Bluetooth File Upload Directo...
BugTraq ID: 12961
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 01 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12961
Summary:
BlueSoleil is prone to directory traversal attacks during Bluetooth file uploads. The issue exists in the Object Push Service.
This vulnerability may allow an attacker to upload malicious files to arbitrary locations on affected computers over Bluetooth. An attacker can take advantage of the issue to execute arbitrary code by uploading executables to a location on the computer where they will later be executed.
10. Microsoft Windows UNC Path Handling Unspecified Buffer Overf...
BugTraq ID: 12969
Remote: Unknown
Date Published: Apr 01 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12969
Summary:
Microsoft Windows is reported prone to an unspecified buffer overflow vulnerability when handling a malformed UNC path.
It is reported that this issue can be triggered by supplying a malformed UNC path through the command line. Further details were not disclosed, however, it is conjectured that a local attacker supplies excessive data as a UNC path to trigger the overflow condition leading to memory corruption. It is currently not known if this will allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges.
Although unconfirmed, this issue may also pose a remote risk if an attacker is able to supply a vulnerable user with a malformed UNC path and entice them to open it or through an application that processes UNC paths.
This issue has reportedly been addressed with the release of Windows Server 2003 SP1. Operating system releases prior to Server 2003 are also reportedly affected.
Due to a lack of details, further information is not available at the moment. This BID will be updated when more details are released.
11. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 Released - Mult...
BugTraq ID: 12972
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 01 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12972
Summary:
Microsoft has released Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. This release addresses a number of bugs, including some potential security vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
Many of the bugs that have been fixed in this Service Pack may have a security impact that may be exploited by a local or remote attacker. Possible consequences include privilege escalation, lowered security settings, denial of service attacks, and policy bypass. The release also includes various security enhancements and roll-ups for previous security updates.
