Packet Storm Security Advisories
Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0677-01 - PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. The pg_dump utility inserted object names literally into comments in the SQL script it produces. An unprivileged database user could create an object whose name includes a newline followed by an SQL command. This SQL command might then be executed by a privileged user during later restore of the backup dump, allowing privilege escalation. CREATE TRIGGER did not do a permissions check on the trigger function to be called. This could possibly allow an authenticated database user to call a privileged trigger function on data of their choosing.

Packet Storm Security Advisories
Asterisk Project Security Advisory - A user of the Asterisk Manager Interface can bypass a security check and execute shell commands when they lack permission to do so. Under normal conditions, a user should only be able to run shell commands if that user has System class authorization. Users could bypass this restriction by using the MixMonitor application with the originate action or by using either the GetVar or Status manager actions in combination with the SHELL and EVAL functions. The patch adds checks in each affected action to verify if a user has System class authorization. If the user does not have those authorizations, Asterisk rejects the action if it detects the use of any functions or applications that run system commands.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-060 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within cmm.dll. While parsing multi-function a to b curve data the size of an allocation is calculated based on user supplied data. It is possible to cause an integer wrap on the nTblSize variable. This variable is later used to allocate an heap buffer which will be smaller than necessary resulting in heap memory corruption. This can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current user.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1416-1 - Alexander Gavrun discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly allocated space for a tile. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges, or crash the application, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that the tiffdump utility incorrectly handled directory data structures with many directory entries. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04. Various other issues were also addressed.

Packet Storm Security Exploits
This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in Ricoh DC's DL-10 SR10 FTP service. By supplying a long string of data to the USER command, it is possible to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, which allows remote code execution under the context of the user. Please note that in order to trigger the vulnerability, the server must be configured with a log file name (by default, it's disabled).

Ubuntu Security Notice 1401-2 - USN-1401-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Xulrunner. This update provides the corresponding fixes for Thunderbird. It was discovered that a flaw in the Mozilla SVG implementation could result in an out-of-bounds memory access if SVG elements were removed during a DOMAttrModified event handler. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash. Atte Kettunen discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the Gecko Rendering Engine's handling of SVG animations. An attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the Xulrunner based application. Atte Kettunen discovered an out of bounds read vulnerability in the Gecko Rendering Engine's handling of SVG Filters. An attacker could potentially exploit this to make data from the user's memory accessible to the page content. Soroush Dalili discovered that the Gecko Rendering Engine did not adequately protect against dropping JavaScript links onto a frame. A remote attacker could, through cross-site scripting (XSS), exploit this to modify the contents of the frame or steal confidential data. Mariusz Mlynski discovered that the Home button accepted JavaScript links to set the browser Home page. An attacker could use this vulnerability to get the script URL loaded in the privileged about:sessionrestore context. Bob Clary, Vincenzo Iozzo, and Willem Pinckaers discovered memory safety issues affecting Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.

web application XSS Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: XSS bugs are the most widely known and commonly occurring Web vulnerability, but their impact has often been limited to cookie theft and/or simple actions, such as setting malicious email filters, stealing some data, or self-propagation via an XSS worm. In this work, I discuss practical approaches for exploiting XSS and other client-side script injection attacks, and introduce novel techniques for maintaining and escalating access within the victim's browser. In particular, I introduce the concept of resident XSS where attacker-supplied code is running in the context of an affected user's main application window and describe its consequences. I also draw analogies between such persistent Web threats and the traditional rootkit model, including similarities in the areas of embedding malicious code, maintaining access, stealthy communication with a C&C server, and the difficulty of detecting and removing attacker-supplied code. Despite a few high profile cases of XSS worms, most XSS exploitation attempts have so far been limited to cookie-stealing and executing simple malicious actions. However, as a consequence of the same-origin policy and a combination of other browser mechanisms, a single XSS vulnerability can often lead to a long-term compromise all of a user's interactions with an affected webapp in the same browser profile, long after the original bug has been fixed. In particular, an attacker can maintain access across window/browser closures, survive cookie and cache deletions, and compromise other user accounts accessed from the same browser. Yet more troubling is the fact that Web application authors currently have no means to detect or mitigate such threats once an attack has taken place. In the talk I provide an overview of techniques to escalate an XSS into long-term account compromise, and explore the similarities between such persistent Web bugs and traditional rootkits. In particular, I: 1) Introduce the concept of resident XSS, where malicious JavaScript is executed in the context of the victim's main application window/tab. Contrary to the traditional methods of exploiting XSS via a hidden frame or malicious link which are opened in a separate, usually short-lived window, resident XSS gives an attacker full freedom to monitor and alter the user's interaction with the affected application. 2) Describe several techniques to convert various Web bugs into a resident XSS. Such techniques include backdooring client-side persistent storage mechanisms (WebSQL, localStorage, Flash LSOs), opening poisoned application windows with injected malicious scripts, exploiting persistent (self-)XSS and others. 3) Discuss the consequences of resident XSS, which usually allow the attacker to get permanent access to an affected user's account and/or obtain the user's application login credentials. On sensitive domains for which users have enabled access to additional browser or plugin features (geolocation, camera/microphone), it can enable persistent snooping on the exploited user. In a large number of cases it can also enable full compromise of the user's machine by exploiting the application-user trust relationship (e.g. by requiring the user to install attacker-supplied plugins to use the affected webapp, or by hijacking file download links within the vulnerable domain). 4) Analyze the techniques for maintaining access to a once-compromised origin. In addition to backdooring persistent storage APIs, this can be achieved by exploiting self-XSS bugs, spawning same-origin pop-unders with references to the original window, and hiding in frames created by advertising networks on popular websites. In most cases, a combination of those techniques suffices to bypass a variety of the most common "cleanup" actions taken by users, and allows an on-going compromise of the affected origin. 5) Present the difficulties faced by Web application authors when trying to clean up a compromised origin. Short of wiping/re-creating a browser profile, there are currently no fully reliable methods to restore a browser's state to a secure configuration once a malicious script has run in the context of an affected domain. I will present the above with concrete examples of vulnerable applications and a demo.

When application security was still in it’s infancy, there were discussions on how to protect applications from newly discovered injection vulnerabilities. "Sanitize Input" was a popular solution that rolled off the tongue nicely and was not overly complicated to explain. It was also, a very generic solution that would (hopefully) be part of a more complete approach.
As much as "Sanitizing Input" makes sense, so does writing your code in a way which, allows you to handle failure safely. This way, when the unexpected does happen, an entire operation doesn't fall down, introduce a bug or propagate unsafe data.
Question: When does this approach fail miserably?
Answer: When it is the only approach you have.The OWASP Top 10 categorizes XSS and SQL Injection separately. As an attacker, you are injecting data that is handled insecurely by application code. In this way, it is really just another form of injection. On that note, let’s discuss two manifestations of injection. SQL Injection and HTML Injection (XSS). I'd like to demonstrate other ways to think about or handle data beyond just "Sanitize Input". If you take away nothing more from this article, I'd like it to be that applications are unique, there is a level of complexity to design choices and solutions and there are more options than "Sanitize Input" available.
SQL Injection: "Save your one-liners for the bar". Parametrization of database queries is a classic method for handling queries safely and in many cases more efficiently. From a security standpoint, parametrized queries help to solidify the boundaries between user data and SQL statements. It ensures that data submitted by the user will be separated from the actual database query and won’t interfere with the SQL code and ultimately the database.
Example of lazy code....
http://www.example.com/example.php?user_name=gevans
$uname = $_GET['user_name']
....and this is the classic example everyone shows, nothing new here, that illustrates a SQL Injection flaw where the data ($uname) is actually included in the SQL statement.
"SELECT user_id from users where username = $uname;"
This programming flaw has destroyed the boundary between the SQL command and user-supplied input. Because the user data is now cast as a string-- it is no longer clear to the SQL server what part was supplied by the developer and what was supplied by the user. The whole query can fall apart by appending double quotes. This is not just a vulnerability, this is bad programming. Sure, it takes one line to write the query but there is no further sanity checking here. The string is formed, sent to the server, and executed as SQL. How are parametrized queries different?
Parametrized queries separate the data from the query so that we as coders don’t miscommunicate our intentions to the database server. How does it work? The majority of the query is sent to the server MINUS the actual user submitted data. So, the query is prepared (meaning sent to the server), a response comes back with a token (minus MySQL as I understand it), and THEN, the variable is sent to the server with the token and a SQL query executes. This means the expected query and actual data that we've gathered from the user are separated prior to execution.
Lets provide a visualization
// Pass in db credentials as well as the host it is located on and the database we'd like to connect to
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname",$dbuser,$dbpass);
// Prepare the statement
$sql = "SELECT user_id from users where username = ?";
//Execute the query, taking in the variable data ($uname) from the user
$q = $conn->prepare($sql);
$q->execute(array($uname));
$object = $q->fetchColumn();

As you can see, the $sql statement is prepared and the server knows exactly what it should look like. Next, the SQL statement is executed, passing in the variable value in place of the "?" (shown above). By specifying that question mark, you tell the db, this is my statement but I don't know what the value will be.....I'll give you that on the next call.
Lets examine XSS. Again, something I hear a lot is "Sanitize your input". Some people even go as far as "Whitelist" versus "Blacklist". Okay, great, that is not extensible and ultimately context matters. What do I mean? It is a very one-sided approach with a lot of assumptions. Let me draw a picture for you. The understanding, as of right now, is the data comes in one place and is potentially echoed in another. So the model looks something like this:

A typical example would be a registration form. You sign up with your First Name, Last Name, etc. Upon successful authentication to the application, you notice a little message at the top right....

So....."Welcome, Ken!", I wonder where that value came from? When we registered, our information was stored in the db, later extracted after login, and shown on the page. Now, we should be safe right? Even if we had attempted to place JavaScript in the First Name value upon registration, it wouldn't have mattered.....We Sanitized!!!
Two months later, a user complains that they signed up with a misspelled username and would like the ability to change it. A new developer is assigned the task of adding the ability to edit your first and last name and does so. The new developers assumption is that we are going to safely handle that data when rendered to the user. But we aren't. We sanitized the input and didn't bother with handling the data. Our model has changed from Input/Output to......

So with one additional point of input, our model gets (very slightly) more complicated. Now imagine adding multiple points of input, multiple points of output. Now split input into data entry (processed), storage handling (stored in the db) and then do the same for output. While we are at, lets throw a web-service that consumes the data as well. It becomes very easy to see how "Sanitize Input" doesn't scale, isn't a sure-fire solution, and really oversimplifies the problem for those who are looking to either receive or give an easy answer.
In summary, please join me in the fight to stop the mindless regurgitation of old material.
Cheers,
Ken

Debian Linux Security Advisory 2331-1 - It has been discovered by "frosty_un" that a design flaw in Tor, an online privacy tool, allows malicious relay servers to learn certain information that they should not be able to learn. Specifically, a relay that a user connects to directly could learn which other relays that user is connected to directly. In combination with other attacks, this issue can lead to deanonymizing the user.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 11-307 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists because Java does not sufficiently verify parameters certain functions. The function MixerSequencer.nAddControllerEventCallback fails to check for negative index numbers before writing user supplied data into a static array. This allows a malicious applet to write user controlled data outside the array boundaries resulting in remote code execution under the context of the current user.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1324-01 - Qt 4 is a software toolkit that simplifies the task of writing and maintaining GUI applications for the X Window System. HarfBuzz is an OpenType text shaping engine. A flaw in the way Qt 4 expanded certain UTF-8 characters could be used to prevent a Qt 4 based application from properly sanitizing user input. Depending on the application, this could allow an attacker to perform directory traversal, or for web applications, a cross-site scripting attack. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the harfbuzz module in Qt 4. If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with an application linked against Qt 4, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Windows exploiting Event:
Black Hat USA 2010 Abstract: Just how much damage *can* be done with EIP under a non-Administrative Windows environment? Much, much more than you likely think. Through new techniques and live examples, attendees will be guided through the modern day attack surface of a restrictive corporate Windows world. Based purely on the Windows privilege model, demonstrations and new code will cover techniques related to collecting and replaying passwords and password hashes, destroying the browser trust model, attacking the network and the domain, and more, all without administrative access. Moving into a world of Windows Vista, 7, and hardened XP environments, the days of easily popping shells with Admin access are becoming less common. When a Limited User is exploited via a client side vulnerability, damage is often believed to be lessened due to the inability of attacker code to access sensitive portions of the OS, such as those containing passwords and password hashes, without an additional privilege escalation exploit. Despite conventional wisdom from vendors and security press, taking your users out of the 'Local Administrators' OU doesn't mean your environment is magically protected from privilege-agnostic attackers.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 11-279 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Witness Systems eQuality Suite. This application is bundled with Nortel Contact Recording and Quality Monitoring Suite. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The flaw exists within the Unify2.exe component which listens by default on TCP port 6821. When handling a packet type the process trusts a remaining packet length value provided by the user and blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM user.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 11-254 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the way QuickTime handles the 'trun' atom. QuickTime uses user supplied data in the 'sampleCount' field to calculate a buffer size. An integer wrap can occur that results in the allocation of a memory buffer that is smaller than intended. When QuickTime writes to this buffer it causes a memory corruption that can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current user.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 11-228 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple Safari on Windows and multiple applications on OSX. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the ColorSync component which is used when handling image files containing embedded ICC data. When handling the ncl2 tag the process miscalculates an integer value used in a memory allocation. This buffer is later used as a destination when copying user controlled data. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the application.

Tomcat versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.16, 6.0.0 through 6.0.32, and 5.5.0 through 5.5.33 suffer from an information disclosure vulnerability. When using the MemoryUserDatabase (based on tomcat-users.xml) and creating users via JMX, an exception during the user creation process may trigger an error message in the JMX client that includes the user's password. This error message is also written to the Tomcat logs. User passwords are visible to administrators with JMX access and/or administrators with read access to the tomcat-users.xml file. Users that do not have these permissions but are able to read log files may be able to discover a user's password.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 11-226 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Citrix EdgeSight. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The flaw exists within the LauncherService.exe component which listens by default on TCP port 18747. When handling a request the process trusts a user supplied field in the packet specifying the length of data to follow, the process then copies the user supplied data, without validation, into a fixed-length buffer on the heap. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM user.

User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the Cursor Asset.x32 module responsible for parsing cursor structures from within Director movie files (.dir). While handling a size element, the code performs an unchecked multiplication operation which can cause an integer to wrap. This results in an undersized heap allocation which can be overflowed with user data leading to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user running the browser.

User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the way Java handles color profiles. When parsing a color profile containing a 'scrn' tag, the process reads a user specified value describing the number of scrn objects in the file. This value is multiplied with the size of an scrn object possibly resulting in an integer overflow. This value is then used to allocate memory to hold all the scrn objects. By providing specific values it is possible to cause a memory corruption that can lead to remote code being executed under to user running the browser.

User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the nipplib component which is used by both the ActiveX and Netscape compatible browser plugins. When handling the core-package parameter from the user specified printer-url the process blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the heap. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the browser.
