FreeBSD Security Advisory - FreeBSD-SA-19:15.mqueuefs

FreeBSD Security Advisory - System calls operating on file descriptors obtain a reference to relevant struct file which due to a programming error was not always put back, which in turn could be used to overflow the counter of affected struct file. A local user can use this flaw to obtain access to files, directories, sockets etc. opened by processes owned by other users. If obtained struct file represents a directory from outside of user's jail, it can be used to access files outside of the jail. If the user in question is a jailed root they can obtain root privileges on the host system.

IBM Data Risk Manager 2.0.3 Default Password

This Metasploit module abuses a known default password in IBM Data Risk Manager. The a3user has the default password idrm and allows an attacker to log in to the virtual appliance via SSH. This can be escalate to full root access, as a3user has sudo access with the default password. At the time of disclosure, this is a 0day. Versions 2.0.3 and below are confirmed to be affected, and the latest 2.0.6 is most likely affected too.

Bitdefender USSD Wipe Stopper

The operating system your smartphone is running may be vulnerable to USSD commands that could wipe your entire phone. Tapping on a link to a cleverly coded web page could order you phone to reset itself to factory settings and disintegrate all your private data with it. Any Android phone running Phone.apk version 4.1 or lower is at risk and that's the broader base of them. Install Bitdefender's USSD Wipe Stopper to protect against such attacks. Now, once you would tap on a exploiting link, Bitdefender will intercept the wipe command and ask you to decide what to do next. You may, if unsure, dismiss the USSD command.

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 2005-04-07.1

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 04.07.05 - Local exploitation of an information disclosure vulnerability in the gr_osview command included in multiple versions of Silicon Graphics Inc.'s IRIX Operating System could allow for the disclosure of sensitive information such as the root user's password hash. The vulnerability specifically exists in the way that gr_osview opens user-specified description files without dropping privileges. When this is combined with the debug option, it is possible to dump a line from an arbitrary file, regardless of its protection.

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 2005-04-07.2

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 04.07.05 - Local exploitation of a file overwrite vulnerability in the gr_osview command included in multiple versions of Silicon Graphics Inc.'s IRIX operating system could allow for the overwriting of arbitrary files, regardless of permissions. The vulnerability specifically exists in the way that gr_osview opens user specified files without dropping privileges. When a file is specified using the -s option, it will be opened regardless of permissions, and operating system usage information will be written into it.

HP LoadRunner lrFileIOService ActiveX WriteFileString Remote Code Execution

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability on the lrFileIOService ActiveX, as installed with HP LoadRunner 11.50. The vulnerability exists in the WriteFileString method, which allow the user to write arbitrary files. It's abused to drop a payload embedded in a dll, which is later loaded through the Init() method from the lrMdrvService control, by abusing an insecure LoadLibrary call. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on IE8 on Windows XP. Virtualization based on the Low Integrity Process, on Windows Vista and 7, will stop this module because the DLL will be dropped to a virtualized folder, which isn't used by LoadLibrary.

Bitdefender Malformed Archive Bypass

The parsing engine for various Bitdefender products supports the RAR archive format. The parsing engine can be bypassed by specifically manipulating an RAR Archive (HOST_OS) so that it can be accessed by an end-user but not the anti-virus software. The AV engine is unable to scan the archive and issues the file a "clean" rating.
