Packet Storm Security Advisories
Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-103 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of QuickTime Player. 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 occurs when parsing a movie file containing multiple atoms with a different string length. When resizing a buffer in order to make space for the string, the application will forget to include the null-terminator. When the application attempts to null-terminate the string, an out-of-bounds write will occur. If an aggressor can place the a useful heap buffer contiguous to the reallocated string, this can lead to code execution under the context of the application.

Chaos Communication Congress 28th (28C3) 2011 Abstract: The protection landscape is changing and exploits are getting more and more sophisticated. Exploit generation toolkits can be used to construct exploits for specific applications using well-defined algorithms. We present such an algorithm for leveraging format strings and introduce string oriented programming. String oriented programming takes format string exploits to the next level and turns an intrusion vector that needs hand-crafted exploits into arbitrary code execution. Similar to return oriented programming or jump oriented programming string oriented programming does not rely on existing code but concatenates gadgets in the application using static program analysis. This talk presents an algorithm and a technique that takes a vulnerable application that contains a format string exploit as a parameter and constructs a format string exploit that can be used to inject a dynamic jump oriented programming dispatcher into the running application. String oriented programming circumvents ASLR, DEP, and ProPolice.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 11-207 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of the Adobe Shockwave Player. 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 support for embedding various file types within the RIFF-based Director file format. Several of the asset modules distributed with Shockwave do not properly extract string values from within embedded media objects. The code attempts to null-terminate such strings using a 32-bit size value specified prior to the string value. By crafting an embedded media object with a large string size an attacker can write a NULL byte to a controlled offset from the buffer containing the string. This can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the browser.

Packet Storm Security Exploits
This Metasploit module exploits a format string vulnerability within version 10.0.4.x and 10.5.1 of the SonicWALL Aventail SSL-VPN Endpoint Interrogator/Installer ActiveX control (epi.dll). By calling the 'AuthCredential' method with a specially crafted Unicode format string, an attacker can cause memory corruption and execute arbitrary code. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be possible to indirectly re-use existing stack data for more reliable exploitation. This is due to several particulars about this vulnerability. First, the format string must be a Unicode string, which uses two bytes per character. Second, the buffer is allocated on the stack using the 'alloca' function. As such, each additional format specifier (%x) will add four more bytes to the size allocated. This results in the inability to move the read pointer outside of the buffer. Further testing showed that using specifiers that pop more than four bytes does not help. Any number of format specifiers will result in accessing the same value within the buffer. NOTE: It may be possible to leverage the vulnerability to leak memory contents. However, that has not been fully investigated at this time.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-132 - Multiple integer overflows in audioop.c in the audioop module in Ptthon allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large fragment, as demonstrated by a call to audioop.lin2lin with a long string in the first argument, leading to a buffer overflow. The audioop module in Python does not verify the relationships between size arguments and byte string lengths, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via crafted arguments, as demonstrated by a call to audioop.reverse with a one-byte string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1634.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 10-079 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of RealNetworks Helix Server. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the authentication provided by the administrative web interface and is only present if it is configured to use NTLM. The vulnerability can be triggered by specifying invalid Base64 string within the Authorization header. If the string is not proper Base64 the vulnerable function returns -1 which is not verified and is later used as a length to a string copy routine.

Hello,
I am studying Honeypots so I am trying to setup honeyd in BT4.
honeyd could be installed easily by using apt-get install
The problem is arpd :confused:
BT4 has arpd installed but it doesn't look the same like honeyd.org version
I tried to install arpd-0.2 but I couldn't install it. when I try to "make" I got the following errors:
arpd.c:268 error: expected ')' before string constant
arpd.c:285 error: expected ')' before string constant
arpd.c:294 error: expected ')' before string constant
After googling i found that starting from gcc 3.4 the compiler treats the "__FUNCTION__" as variable while previous compilers treat it as string?
I also found the following link:
http://aaaleonardo.blogspot.com/2009...os-52-via.html
but the step:
./configure --with-libdnet=/usr/local/libdnet --with-libevent=/usr/local/libevent
is not working even after installing the libdnet and libevent and changing the path to /usr/local/lib/...
there is something wrong with libevent and libpcap
how to solve this problem ?
does BT4 have a different tool with the same functionality ?

An attacker could exploit this issue and possibly execute arbitrary code with application privileges. Giovanni Pellerano, Alessandro Tanasi, and Francesco Ongaro discovered that Ruby did not properly sanitize data written to log files. An attacker could insert specially-crafted data into log files which could affect certain terminal emulators and cause arbitrary files to be overwritten, or even possibly execute arbitrary commands. It was discovered that Ruby did not properly handle string arguments that represent large numbers. An attacker could exploit this and cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 9.10.
