PART I Critical Vulnerabilities

Part I is compiled by Rohit Dhamankar (rohitd_at_tippingpoint.com) at TippingPoint, a division of 3Com, 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/cva/#process

Widely Deployed Software
  • (1) HIGH: DNS Cache Poisoning Attacks
  • Affected:
    • Windows NT and Windows 2000(prior to SP3) DNS servers in the default
    • configuration The following configurations are also reportedly
    • vulnerable and being investigated: Windows DNS server forwarding
    • requests to a BIND DNS server running version 4.x or 8.x Windows DNS
    • server forwarding requests to another vulnerable Windows DNS server

  • Description: SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC) has been actively analyzing reports of large-scale DNS cache poisoning attacks underway. By performing the DNS cache poisoning, an attacker is able to direct traffic intended for legitimate domains (for instance, windowsupdate.com) to an IP address under the attacker's control. The attacks have been used to re-direct popular domains belonging to a number of financial, entertainment, travel, health and software companies to the attackers' servers in order to install malware on the user systems. The attacks are targeting flaws in the Symantec Gateway security products (described in an earlier @RISK newsletter), and the forwarding configurations using Windows and BIND DNS servers listed above.

  • Status: Microsoft has published an article KB241352 that describes how to set up a registry key on Windows 2000 (prior to SP3) and NT 4.0 (SP4 and later) to harden a DNS server's configuration. An upgrade to version 9.x for the DNS forwarding servers running BIND is recommended. An upgrade to Windows 2000 (SP3 or above) and Windows 2003 is recommended for Windows DNS servers since these versions offer protection against the cache poisoning attacks in their default configuration. Symantec has already released updates for its DNS products that should be immediately applied. ISC has also detailed steps on how to clean the current DNS cache, which may be polluted.

  • Council Site Actions: Most of the reporting council sites are running only UNIX-based DNS and BIND servers with safe configurations and thus are not vulnerable to this issue. A few sites running Windows versions have either confirmed their configurations are safe or have updated them, as necessary. One site is implementing a rapid response plan based on a previous risk assessment of this threat situation.

  • References: ISC DNS Cache Poisoning Report
  • (2) MODERATE: Microsoft Jet Database Engine Overflow
  • Affected:
    • Jet Database Engine all versions

  • Description: The Jet Database Engine (Msjet40.dll) is Microsoft's relational database engine that handles the entire task of database processing for Microsoft Access and Visual Basic. This engine reportedly contains a buffer overflow that can be triggered by a specially crafted ".mdb" Access database file. The flaw, according to the discoverer, can be easily exploited to execute code on a Windows client system. In order to exploit this flaw, an attacker has to supply the malicious .mdb file via web, email, peer-to-peer sharing etc to the victim. Note that Internet Explorer and other browsers do not automatically open the attacker-supplied ".mdb" file. Hence, user interaction is required to leverage this flaw. A proof-of-concept database file has been publicly posted. The discoverer also mentions other denial-of-service flaws in this DLL for which no technical details have been posted.

  • Status: Microsoft has not confirmed; no patches are available. The flaw also affects third party applications that use msjet40.dll.

  • Council Site Actions: Most of the council sites are waiting for confirmation and a patch from the vendor and plan to deploy the patch once available. One site commented they have no plans to patch at this time, and will instead rely on their implementation of the Cisco Security Agent to prevent this exploit from occurring.

  • References:
  • (2) LOW: PHP getimagesize Denial of Service
  • Affected:
    • PHP versions prior to 4.3.11 and 5.0.4

  • Description: PHP, the popular scripting language for web servers, contains two vulnerabilities in its "getimagesize()" function. This function is used to compute the size of many image formats such as GIFF, JPEG etc. An attacker can exploit these flaws to cause a denial of service to any webserver that is using PHP scripts( and the getimagesize() function) to process the user-supplied images. The technical details required to craft a malicious image file have been publicly posted.

  • Status: Upgrade to PHP version 4.3.11 or 5.0.4.

  • Council Site Actions: Only one of the reporting council sites is using the affects software and feature. Their servers will be updated through a vendor patch (e.g., a patch associated with a Linux distribution) rather than updated with software obtained directly from www.php.net.

  • References:
Other Software
  • (3) CRITICAL: BakBone Netvault Backup Software Buffer Overflow
  • Affected:
    • NetVault version 7.3 and earlier on various platforms

  • Description: Bakbone Netvault is a backup solution for environments running UNIX, Linux, Windows NT/2000/2003 or Netware. The software is reportedly being used by AT&T, Los Alamos National Laboratory and many other large enterprises. The implementation of the communication protocol between the Netvault client (the system being backed up) and the server (the system backing up the data) contains a heap-based buffer overflow. By sending specially crafted packets to the port 20031/tcp, an attacker can execute arbitrary code on the system running this software. Exploit code for leveraging this flaw on Windows platforms is publicly available.

  • Status: Vendor not confirmed, no updates available. A workaround is to block the ports 20031/tcp and 20031/udp (the Netvault default ports) at the network perimeter. Increased scanning activity has been noticed for the port 20031/tcp.

  • Council Site Actions: The affected software is not in production or widespread use, or is not officially supported at any of the council sites. They reported that no action was necessary.

  • References:
  • (4) HIGH: MailEnable IMAP Service Buffer Overflow
  • Affected:
    • MailEnable Enterprise version 1.04 and prior
    • MailEnable Professional version 1.54 and prior

  • Description: MailEnable, a Windows-based mail server, contains buffer overflows in its IMAP server (MEIMAPS.EXE). An unauthenticated attacker can trigger the flaw by sending an overlong argument to the "AUTHENTICATE" or "LOGIN" commands. The flaws can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the IMAP server. Exploit code has been publicly posted.

  • Status: Vendor has confirmed the buffer overflow in the "AUTHENTICATE" command and released hotfixes. The status of hotfixes for the "LOGIN" command overflow is unknown.

  • Council Site Actions: The affected software is not in production or widespread use, or is not officially supported at any of the council sites. They reported that no action was necessary.
