    1. The Great IDS Debate : Signature Analysis Versus Protocol Analysis
    by Matt Tanase

    Intrusion detection systems (IDS) have rapidly become a crucial component
    of any network defense strategy. Over the past few years, their popularity
    has soared as vendors have refined their results and increased performance
    capabilities. At the heart of intrusion detection systems lies the
    analysis engine. It reviews each packet, determines if it is malicious,
    and logs an alert if necessary – the core tasks of an IDS. Two different
    IDS techniques, each favored by separate and loyal camps, have emerged as
    the preferred engine behind the software. Despite the copious marketing
    material and fiery online debates, each method has distinct strengths and
    weaknesses. In this article, we'll examine and compare the two different
    techniques: signature analysis and protocol analysis.

    2. Smallpot: Tracking the Slapper and Scalper Unix Worms
    by Costin Raiu

    Fueled by the old myth that "you can't get a virus in Unix" and by the
    increasing popularity of Linux and FreeBSD, Unix viruses passed an
    important milestone in 2001 and continued by receiving even more attention
    during 2002.

    4. Something Needs to Change
    By Tim Mullen

    That's all there was to "Slammer," 376 bytes. When you think about it,
    it's amazing that a piece of code could have wreaked such havoc on the
    Internet and caused such widespread system failure -- at about the size of
    two paragraphs of this column.

    II. BUGTRAQ SUMMARY
    -------------------
    1. Macromedia ColdFusion MX Windows User File Authorization Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6737
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Jan 30 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6737
    Summary:

    ColdFusion MX Enterprise Edition is the application server for developing
    and hosting infrastructure distributed by Macromedia. It is available as a
    standalone product for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Operating Systems.

    When ColdFusion MX is used in conjunction with Microsoft IIS, Windows NT
    authentication, and NTFS file permissions, it may be possible for a user
    to access files and templates they do not have permission to access.

    This is due to a configuration error. IIS is not configured by default to
    determine if files associated with ColdFusion MX are accessible or not by
    the authenticated user. Consequently, user supplied file names are passed
    directly to ColdFusion MX which apparently does not check NTFS permissions
    against the user itself.

    2. WinSCP SSH2 Authentication Password Persistence Weakness
    BugTraq ID: 6732
    Remote: No
    Date Published: Jan 30 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6732
    Summary:

    WinSCP is a freely available secure file transfer client for Microsoft
    Windows operating systems.

    A problem with WinSCP may allow the recovery of sensitive information.

    It has been reported that WinSCP does not safely handle password
    information. As a result, a local user may be able to recover
    authentication passwords.

    The problem is in the handling of authentication passwords after
    authentication has been negotiated. Correct behavior of such applications
    is to remove passwords from memory immediately after authentication has
    occurred. However, WinSCP retains password information in memory, which
    may result in recovery by another user with sufficient privileges. In
    addition to being present in process memory space, this information may
    also be retrieved from memory dumps of processes.

    3. Bladeenc Signed Integer Memory Corruption Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6745
    Remote: No
    Date Published: Feb 03 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6745
    Summary:

    Bladeenc is an open-source MP3 encoder and is available for a variety of
    platforms including Microsoft Windows and Linux and Unix variant operating
    systems.

    A memory corruption vulnerability has been reported for Bladeenc. Bladeenc
    encodes WAV files in 'chunks' of data. The vulnerability exists when
    Bladeenc is seeking a WAV file chunk. Specifically, in the function
    __myfseek() in the samplein.c source file, an integer value is not
    properly verified. When this function is given a negative value, it will
    result in the corruption of sensitive areas of memory with
    attacker-supplied values.

    An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious WAV
    file with carefully crafted headers that will cause Bladeenc to execute
    malicious attacker-supplied code.

    This vulnerability was reported for Bladeenc 0.94.2 and earlier.

    4. Microsoft Internet Explorer dragDrop Method Local File Reading Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6749
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 03 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6749
    Summary:

    Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher contain the ActiveX method
    dragDrop() that allows HTML elements to be dragged and dropped on a web
    page.

    The dragDrop() method can be used by a maliciously crafted web page to
    read local files from an Internet Explorer user's local drive.

    If a web page is constructed containing a script element utilizing the
    dragDrop() method and properly obfuscated, users can be tricked into
    uploading a local file to the malicious webserver.

    This can typically be achieved by constructing a Javascript element
    appearing to be a hyperlink that actually contains elements to drop text,
    such as a file name, into an HTML upload control using the dragDrop()
    method. The local file name must be known in order for the attack to
    succeed, however, relative paths may be used. The user must also perform
    another action, such as clicking on a button, in order to trigger the file
    upload.

    5. PHP-Nuke Avatar HTML Injection Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6750
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 03 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6750
    Summary:

    PHP-Nuke is a web-based portal system. Implemented in PHP, it is available
    for a range of systems, including Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows.

    A vulnerability has been reported in PHP-Nuke that may result in HTML
    injection. The vulnerability occurs because PHP-Nuke does not sanitize
    some user-supplied input submitted to a site when selecting 'avatar'
    images. Due to this condition, a malicious user may be able to insert
    malicious HTML code which will then be displayed to unsuspecting users of
    PHP-Nuke forums. Any attacker-supplied code will be interpreted in a
    victim user's web browser in the security context of the site hosting the
    software.

    It may be possible to steal the unsuspecting user's cookie-based
    authentication credentials, as well as other sensitive information. It is
    also possible to modify or corrupt other user's Avatars. Other attacks are
    also possible.

    This vulnerability was reported for PHP-Nuke 6.0 and earlier.

    6. Opera JavaScript Console Attribute Injection Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6755
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6755
    Summary:

    Opera is a web client available for a number of platforms, including
    Microsoft Windows, Linux and Unix variants and Apple MacOS.

    A vulnerability has been reported for Opera 7 browsers for Microsoft
    Windows operating systems. The vulnerability exists in Opera's JavaScript
    console program. The console program consists of three HTML files, one of
    which is 'console.html'. Any unhandled exceptions thrown by any JavaScript
    are listed in the console and are converted into clickable links.

    The vulnerability exists in the regular expressions used by 'console.html'
    to format exception messages. Specifically, exception messages are not
    parsed for quote characters. It is possible, by inserting quote (")
    characters, to add additional attributes to URLs that may make it possible
    to execute arbitrary attacker-supplied script code in the file:// protocol
    context. This may lead to disclosure of local file contents to remote
    attackers.

    This vulnerability was reported for Opera 7 browser for Microsoft Windows.

    7. IBM WebSphere Exported XML Password Encoding Weakness
    BugTraq ID: 6758
    Remote: No
    Date Published: Feb 03 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6758
    Summary:

    IBM WebSphere is a commercial web application server which runs on a
    number of platforms including Linux and Unix variants and Microsoft
    Windows operating environments.

    IBM WebSphere allows administrators to export configuration files to XML.
    When the WebSphere configuration file is exported in this manner,
    passwords are obfuscated using an easily reversible algorithm.

    The algorithm used to obfuscate the password is as follows:

    CHARobfuscated(n) = CHARpassword(n) XOR CHAR("_")

    where n is the position of the character.

    The obfuscated password is then Base64 encoded.

    If an attacker gains access to an exported XML configuration file, it is a
    trivial task to decode the password.

    To exploit this weakness, an administrator must first export the
    configuration to XML and then the attacker may gain unauthorized access to
    the exported file.

    The WebSphere documentation states that exported configurations will
    contain encoded (and not encrypted) passwords. Administrators should be
    cautious when exporting configuration files.

    This issue was reported in IBM WebSphere Advanced Server Edition 4.0.4.
    It is not known if the same encoding is used in other versions. Though
    the core weakness is that passwords are encoded and may be easier to
    reverse than if encrypted using a strong algorithm, so all current
    versions should be considered prone to this weakness to some degree.

    8. Opera Error Message History Disclosure Weakness
    BugTraq ID: 6759
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6759
    Summary:

    Opera is a web client available for a number of platforms, including
    Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix variants and Apple MacOS.

    The Opera console is used to keep a track of any JavaScript error messages
    that may have occured when browsing a Web site.

    It has been reported that Opera fails to ensure that a remote site has
    proper authorization before executing some methods used to access error
    messages stored in the Opera console. Specifically, Opera does not
    validate any requests for the opera.errorIndex() and opera.errorMessage(i)
    methods.

    This issue is further exacerbated by the fact that error messages also
    contain the URL of the site that caused the issue. This can be exploited
    by a malicious attacker to obtain a listing of the victim user's Web
    browsing habits for, potentially, malicious purposes.

    This vulnerability was reported for Opera 7 browser for Microsoft Windows.

    9. Majordomo Default Configuration Remote List Subscriber Disclosure Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6761
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6761
    Summary:

    Majordomo is a freely available, open source mailing list management
    software package. It is available for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows
    platforms.

    A problem with Majordomo may allow remote users to gain access to
    sensitive information.

    It has been reported that Majordomo does not sufficiently guard list
    subscriber information. By sending specific commands to a default
    implementation, a remote user may be able to gain access to the list of
    mailing list subscribers. This issue is documented in the Majordomo
    documentation.

    The problem is in the default configuration of the mailing list manager.
    The software does not place sufficient access controls on the ability of
    users to execute the which command. By sending the command "which @",
    remote users may be able to list the entire member base of the list,
    resulting in a loss of privacy.

    It should be noted that in the Majordomo 2 branch, this vulnerability is
    limited to gaining access to one address per submission per list.

    10. Microsoft Windows 2000 NetBIOS Continuation Packets Kernel Memory Leak Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6766
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 03 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6766
    Summary:

    Microsoft Windows 2000 is reported to be prone to a denial of service when
    handling NetBIOS continuation packets.

    NetBIOS continuation packets are normally generated when a SMB message is
    split across a number of packets. Under some circumstances, when these
    packets are handled by the server, a kernel memory leak with occur.

    This may result in a failure to service SMB requests, which will cause a
    denial of service.

    11. Microsoft Windows 2000 RPC Service Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6769
    Remote: No
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6769
    Summary:

    Microsoft Windows 2000 uses Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) for client-server
    communications in a distributed computing environment (DCE). TCP Port 135
    is typically used for DCE endpoint resolution.

    A vulnerability was previously reported which causes a denial of service
    against the DCE-RPC endpoint mapper (BID 6005). If a system service
    crashes as a result of this denial of service, there is a possibility that
    it will orphan a named pipe.

    This named pipe could then be hijacked by a malicious user in order to
    escalate their privilege level on the system when a privileged process
    attempts to connect to the orphaned pipe. This could result in a complete
    system level compromise.

    12. KaZaA Advertisement Response Denial of Service Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6747
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 03 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6747
    Summary:

    KaZaA Media Desktop is a peer to peer file sharing utility. KaZaA is
    available for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

    When KaZaA clients make a connection to a file sharing server, a request
    is made for an advertisement (*ad*) download. A vulnerability has been
    discovered in KaZaA clients when receiving unexpected responses to *ad*
    requests. When the susceptible KaZaA client attempts to process the
    response, the client will crash. This condition likely occurs due to
    client assuming various attributes of the response. Computing values
    assumed to exist in a response, which may not be in an expected format,
    may cause the client to behave in an unpredictable manner.

    This issue could be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service
    against KaZaA clients. The denial of service may also be triggered by a
    filter configured to reject various web requests.

    Although not yet confirmed, it has been reported that this issue may be
    exploited to execute arbitrary instructions within the context of the
    target client process.

    13. Opera History Object Information Disclosure Weakness
    BugTraq ID: 6757
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6757
    Summary:

    Opera is a web client available for a number of platforms, including
    Microsoft Windows, Linux and Unix variants and Apple MacOS.

    An information disclosure weakness has been reported for Opera 7 browsers
    on the Microsoft Windows platform.

    The weakness is due to the way the history object exposes some properties.
    Specifically, the properties history.next and history.previous are
    exposed.

    A vulnerable user, when navigating to a malicious website, may have some
    information pertaining to browser history logged by the site. This
    information can be used by Web masters for, potentially, malicious
    purposes.

    This vulnerability was reported for Opera 7 browser for Microsoft Windows.

    14. Opera Cross Domain Scripting Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6754
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6754
    Summary:

    Opera is a web client available for a number of platforms, including
    Microsoft Windows, Linux and Unix variants and Apple MacOS.

    A vulnerability has been reported reported for Opera 7 browsers for
    Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    Due to flaws in Opera, it is possible for functions in different domains
    to be accessed and executed by an attacker with the credentials of the
    victim user. This vulnerability is also exacerbated by the fact that an
    attacker may also be able to override properties and methods in other
    windows to create malicious methods that can be accessed by a victim user.

    Exploitation of this vulnerability will allow an attacker to obtain access
    to local resources on a vulnerable system.

    This issue may be similar to the ones described in BID 6184.

    These vulnerabilities were reported for Opera 7 browser for Microsoft
    Windows.

    15. Opera Image Rendering HTML Injection Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 6756
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6756
    Summary:

    Opera is a web client available for a number of platforms, including
    Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix variants and Apple MacOS.

    Problems with Opera could make it possible to execute arbitrary HTML code
    in a vulnerable client.

    It has been reported that, when generating HTML to display images or
    embedded media, Opera does not correctly format the provided URL or
    sufficiently encode local URLs. Specifically, URLs that use the 'file://'
    protocol to access local files are not sufficiently sanitized of malicious
    HTML code.

    This vulnerability could allow an attacker to inject malicious HTML code
    to an unsuspecting user of Opera, through a malformed link. Any code will
    be executed in the security context of the local Opera User.

    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in the disclosure
    of local file contents to remote attackers. Other attacks are possible.

    This vulnerability was reported for Opera 7 browser for Microsoft Windows.

    16. ByteCatcher FTP Client Long Server Banner Buffer Overflow Vulnerabiliity
    BugTraq ID: 6762
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 04 2003 12:00AM
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6762
    Summary:

    Save-It Sotwares ByteCatcher is an FTP client for Microsoft Windows that
    lets you resume downloads.

    It has been reported that a memory corruption bug exists in ByteCatcher
    FTP client. Under some circumstances, when the client connects to a
    malicious FTP server, it may be possible for the server to trigger a
    boundary condition error.

    This issue is due to insufficient bounds check of FTP banners. When the
    FTP client receives an FTP banner that contains an excessive ammount of
    data it becomes unstable. It has been reported that this vulnerability can
    be reproduced by sending an FTP banner of 4096 bytes or more to a
    vulnerable client, which may cause sensitive regions of memory to be
    corrupted with attacker-supplied values.

    It is possible that this vulnerability is an exploitable buffer overflow,
    and could result in the execution of attacker-supplied code. Any code
    executed would be in the security context of the FTP client process.

    Summary:

    CryptoForge is the suite of encryption tools for professional and personal
    security. It allows you to protect the privacy of your sensitive files and
    messages by encrypting them with up to four strong cryptographic
    algorithms. Once the information has been encrypted, it can be stored on
    insecure media or transmitted on an insecure network -like the Internet-
    and still remain secret. Later, the information can be decrypted into its
    original form. CryptoForge integrates the strongest cryptography available
    today into the Windows environment...

    2. WaveLock v1.0
    by SecureWave http://www.securewave.com
    Relevant URL:
    http://www.securewave.com/products/free_utilities/wavelock.html
    Platforms: Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP
    Summary:

    Windows 2000 and Windows XP come with drivers for several wireless LAN
    ("WLAN") adapters; installation requires only insertion of one of those
    adapters. Administrative privileges are not required, as no new drivers
    must be registered with the operating system. WaveLock assists in
    enforcing security policies by blocking access to these adapters, making
    it harder to circumvent firewalls, filters, proxies, and other required
    safeguards.

    To install WaveLock, download and uncompress wavelock.zip. Execute the
    resulting wavelock.msi file (a Windows Installer setup), which installs
    wavelock.sys. Reboot to load and activate WaveLock.

    A list of the wireless network adapters supported out-of-the-box on
    Windows 2000 and Windows XP can be found below. Note that WaveLock cannot
    know about and will therefore not block additional drivers installed by
    administrators.

    3. NtDump v1

    Platforms: Windows 2000, Windows NT
    Summary:

    NtDump allows the dumping of password hashes and LSA secrets on Windows NT
    computers. NtDump is small as so to reduce network traffic. It is also
    able to run in a batch-mode in which it can dump from multiple computers
    with maximum performance.
