Bluelog is a Bluetooth scanner/logger written with speed in mind. It is intended to be used as a site survey tool, concerned more about accurately detecting the number of discoverable Bluetooth devices than individual device specifics. Bluelog also includes the unique "Bluelog Live" mode, which puts discovered devices into a constantly updating live webpage which you can serve up with your HTTP daemon of choice.
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-017 - Use-after-free vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 10.x before 10.0.1, Thunderbird 10.x before 10.0.1, and SeaMonkey 2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-016 - A File Inclusion vulnerability was discovered and corrected in GLPI. This advisory provides the latest version of GLPI that is not vulnerable to this issue.
This is a patch for OpenSSH version 5.9p1 that adds a magic root password backdoor, logs usernames and passwords and keeps connections from being logged in wtmp, utmp, etc.
DotDotPwn is a very flexible intelligent fuzzer to discover directory traversal vulnerabilities in software such as Web/FTP/TFTP servers, Web platforms such as CMSs, ERPs,Blogs, etc. Also, it has a protocol-independent module to send the desired payload to the host and port specified. On the other hand, it also could be used in a scripting way using the STDOUT module.
This Metasploit module exploits a remote buffer overflow in the Citrix Provisioning Services 5.6 SP1 (without Hotfix CPVS56SP1E043) by sending a malformed packet to the 6905/UDP port. The module has been successfully tested on Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows 7, and Windows XP SP3.
This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in Adobe Flash Player's Flash10u.ocx component. When processing a MP4 file (specifically the Sequence Parameter Set), Flash will see if pic_order_cnt_type is equal to 1, which sets the num_ref_frames_in_pic_order_cnt_cycle field, and then blindly copies data in offset_for_ref_frame on the stack, which allows arbitrary remote code execution under the context of the user. Numerous reports also indicate that this vulnerability has been exploited in the wild. Please note that the exploit requires a SWF media player in order to trigger the bug, which currently isn't included in the framework. However, software such as Longtail SWF Player is free for non-commercial use, and is easily obtainable.
Network Interface Events Logging Daemon is a tool that receives notifications from the kernel through the rtnetlink socket, and generates logs related to link state, neighbor cache (ARP,NDP), IP address (IPv4,IPv6), route, FIB rules.
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-015 - Multiple file parser and NULL pointer vulnerabilities including a RLC dissector buffer overflow was found and corrected in Wireshark. This advisory provides the latest version of Wireshark which is not vulnerable to these issues.
creepy is an application that allows you to gather geolocation related information about users from social networking platforms and image hosting services. The information is presented in a map inside the application where all the retrieved data is shown, accompanied with relevant information (i.e. what was posted from that specific location) to provide context to the presentation.
Ubuntu Security Notice 1358-1 - It was discovered that PHP computed hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending many crafted parameters. ATTENTION: this update changes previous PHP behavior by limiting the number of external input variables to 1000. This may be increased by adding a "max_input_vars" directive to the php.ini configuration file. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-input-vars for more information. Various other issues were also addressed.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0108-01 - JBoss Cache is the clustering backbone for data distribution in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. It provides the backing implementation for web session replication, stateful session bean replication and entity caching. It was found that NonManagedConnectionFactory would log the username and password in plain text when an exception was thrown. This could lead to the exposure of authentication credentials if local users had permissions to read the log file. Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing JBoss Enterprise Application Platform's "jboss-as/server/[PROFILE]/lib/jbosscache-core.jar" file.
Ubuntu Security Notice 1357-1 - It was discovered that the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) subsystem in OpenSSL, when using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for the ECDHE_ECDSA cipher suite, did not properly implement curves over binary fields. This could allow an attacker to determine private keys via a timing attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04. Adam Langley discovered that the ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) functionality in OpenSSL did not ensure thread safety while processing handshake messages from clients. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via out-of-order messages that violate the TLS protocol. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04. Various other issues were also addressed.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0107-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Using the SG_IO ioctl to issue SCSI requests to partitions or LVM volumes resulted in the requests being passed to the underlying block device. If a privileged user only had access to a single partition or LVM volume, they could use this flaw to bypass those restrictions and gain read and write access to the entire block device. Refer to Red Hat Knowledgebase article DOC-67874, linked to in the References, for further details about this issue.
