    PART I Critical Vulnerabilities

    Part I for this issue has been compiled by Josh Bronson at TippingPoint, a division of HP, as a by-product of that company's continuous effort to ensure that its intrusion prevention products effectively block exploits using known vulnerabilities. TippingPoint's analysis is complemented by input from a council of security managers from twelve large organizations who confidentially share with SANS the specific actions they have taken to protect their systems. A detailed description of the process may be found at http://www.sans.org/newsletters/risk/#process

    Widely Deployed Software
    • (1) HIGH: Microsoft Internet Explorer Circular Memory References Use-after-free
    • Affected:
      • Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0
    • Description: Microsoft Internet explorer is susceptible to a use-after-free vulnerability. The mshtml.dll library's code responsible for handling DOM objects is vulnerable. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability for code execution by enticing a user to view a malicious page with Internet Explorer.

    • Status: vendor not confirmed, updates not available

      • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
    • Description: Multiple versions of Microsoft Windows are susceptible to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. Because of a vulnerability in the way Windows handles thumbnails within the shimgvw.dll library, an attacker can exploit this vulnerability by enticing a target to view a corrupted thumbnail within a malicious document. This would require a target to browse, for example, to an SMB (Server Message Block) or WebDAV folder. The target would then have to enable a view that causes Windows to render thumbnails.

    • Status: vendor confirmed, updates not available
