Packet Storm Security Advisories
VSR identified a vulnerability in multiple open source office products (including OpenOffice, LibreOffice, KOffice, and AbiWord) due to unsafe interpretation of XML files with custom entity declarations. Deeper analysis revealed that the vulnerability was caused by acceptance of external entities by the libraptor library, which is used by librdf and is in turn used by these office products.

The XMLEncoder component of Symfony version 2.0.x fails to disable external entities when parsing XML. In the Symfony2 framework the XML class may be used to deserialize objects or as part of a client/server API. By using external entities it is possible to include arbitrary files from the file system. Any application written in Symfony2 that parses user supplied XML is affected.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0018-01 - The libxml2 library is a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 decoded entity references with long names. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in libxml2. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash.

I just pushed out code coverage for the Adobe XML External Entity Injection vulnerability in multiple adobe products including: BlazeDS 3.2 and earlier versions, LiveCycle 9.0, 8.2.1, and
8.0.1, LiveCycle Data Services 3.0, 2.6.1, and 2.5.1, Flex Data
Services 2.0.1, ColdFusion 9.0, 8.0.1, 8.0, and 7.0.2

http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-05.html
I recommend you read security-asessment's pdf on it, its good.
Anyway, its a cool bug.
1 -->because it affects several products although most people have probably never heard of most of them except for ColdFusion.
2 -->its enabled by default on all those products you've never heard of except for ColdFusion, with the exception of CF 8 which appears to have it turned on by default.
3 -->You have to apply patches for CF individually and there is no automated process. Since this vuln got little media attention I've seen alot of hosts that are still missing this patch and/or didn't turn off the vuln service.
On with the demo!
So against a patched host or someone that has disabled the service in ColdFusion you'll see one of two things; either 404's for the checks or 200 for /flex2gateway/ and 500 for the http or https check.


If you get a bunch of 400's then you need to set the VHOST


When it works, you'll see something like this for /etc/passwd

and like this when you asked for a file that doesn't exist or doesn't have permission to read (since CF doesn't run as root on linux, requesting /etc/shadow wont work) :-(

At this point, you're probably like "so what" well whats cool about arbitrary file read is that 1. it also works on Windows:

and 2. that whole
password.properties attack is now cool again because you can just request that file too

This library provides a Ruby interface to Nmap's scan data. It can run Nmap and parse its XML output directly from the scan, parse a file containing the XML data from a separate scan, parse a String of XML data from a scan, or parse XML data from an object via its read() method. This information is presented in an easy-to-use and intuitive fashion for storing and manipulating.
