    II. MICROSOFT VULNERABILITY SUMMARY
    -----------------------------------
    1. Sami FTP Server Multiple Denial Of Service Vulnerabilities
    BugTraq ID: 9657
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 13 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9657
    Summary:
    Sami FTP Server is an FTP server solution for Microsoft Windows platforms.

    Sami FTP Server has been reported prone to multiple remote denial of
    service vulnerabilities. It has been reported that an attacker who has
    sufficient credentials to access a vulnerable server, may cause the
    pmsystem.exe executable to raise a fatal exception by making unexpected
    FTP requests.

    The following requests will trigger an exception in the affected server,
    causing the software to fail.
    cd ~
    cd /../
    get %Filename that does not exist%
    ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com////

    A remote attacker may exploit these vulnerabilities to deny service to
    legitimate users of the FTP server.

    2. Microsoft Internet Explorer Unspecified CHM File Processing ...
    BugTraq ID: 9658
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 13 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9658
    Summary:
    Microsoft Internet Explorer has been reported prone to an unspecified
    vulnerability when handling CHM files. The issue is reportedly exploitable
    to provide for automatic delivery and execution of an arbitrary
    executable. This would occur when malicious web content is rendered in
    Internet Explorer.

    The issue is believed to be a variant of the vulnerabilities described in
    BID 9107 (Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser MHTML Redirection Local File
    Parsing Vulnerability) and BID 9105 (Microsoft Internet Explorer MHTML
    Forced File Execution Vulnerability), in this case however MHTML
    redirection occurs through the MS-ITS InfoTech Protocol. The
    vulnerability is reportedly exploited with the following syntax:

    ms-its:mhtml:file://C:\ss.MHT!http://www.yoursite.tld//chm.chm::/files/launch.htm

    It is conjectured that this could be used to cause a hostile CHM file to
    be executed in the context of the Local Zone on a client system.

    It has been reported that this vulnerability is actively being exploited
    as an infection vector for malicious code that has been temporarily dubbed
    'Ibiza'.

    According to new information, by employing a malformed CLSID parameter
    this vulnerability may allow malicious applications to be downloaded
    without user intervention.

    3. Microsoft IIS Unspecified Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerabi...
    BugTraq ID: 9660
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 14 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9660
    Summary:
    Microsoft IIS is a web server implementation for Microsoft Windows
    systems.

    Microsoft IIS has been reported prone to a remote denial of service
    vulnerability. It has been reported that an exploit developed as a
    proof-of-concept for the issues described in BID 8732(OpenSSL ASN.1
    Parsing Vulnerabilities), when invoked against Microsoft IIS 5.0, will
    trigger a denial of service. Specifically, when processing the exploit
    data LSASS.EXE reportedly consumes system memory resources in an
    exponential manner until it finally fails.

    Although unconfirmed this issue may be related to the issues described in
    BID 9633 (Microsoft ASN.1 Library Length Integer Mishandling Memory
    Corruption Vulnerability) and BID 9635 (Microsoft Windows ASN.1 Library
    Bit String Processing Integer Handling Vulnerability).

    An attacker may potentially exploit this condition to deny HTTPS service
    to legitimate users.

    This issue is reported to affect Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (Korean
    Release) + IIS 5.0, other versions might also be affected.

    This BID will be updated, as further analysis of this issue is complete.

    4. Microsoft Internet Explorer Bitmap Processing Integer Overfl...
    BugTraq ID: 9663
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 16 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9663
    Summary:
    Microsoft Internet Explorer has been reported prone to an integer overflow
    vulnerability. The issue presents itself in bitmap file processing
    procedures and is due to the use of a signed integer employed during
    boundary checking routines.

    An attacker may reportedly create a malicious bitmap that is crafted in a
    manner to cause the affected integer to wrap to a negative value when the
    malicious bitmap file is processed. When this integer is later used in a
    procedure to read data into a 1024 byte buffer, the procedure may read
    excessive data into the buffer invariably resulting in a stack buffer
    overflow. Ultimately an attacker may exploit this condition to corrupt a
    saved instruction or stack frame base pointer, to influence execution flow
    of the affected browser into attacker-supplied instructions.

    This vulnerability has been reported to affect Internet Explorer version
    5, other versions may also be affected. Internet Explorer version 6 is
    reported not vulnerable to this issue.

    This issue could also be exposed via other software that uses Internet
    Explorer to render images, such as Outlook, though this has not been
    confirmed.

    5. EarlyImpact ProductCart Multiple Vulnerabilities
    BugTraq ID: 9669
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 16 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9669
    Summary:
    EarlyImpact ProductCart is e-commerce software that is implemented in ASP
    and available for Microsoft Windows systems.

    EarlyImpact ProductCart is reportedly prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
    The specific issues include SQL injection, cross-site scripting and
    cryptographic weaknesses. These issues could expose sensitive data such
    as user credentials and allow for execution of hostile script code and
    HTML. These issues could allow for full compromise of the software.

    The following specific issues were reported:

    A cryptographic weakness in the user credential encryption routines was
    reported. In particular, the keystream used for the stream cipher is
    prone to a chosen plaintext attack. Credentials are encrypted (and
    decrypted) using a bitwise XOR operation with the keystream and the
    plaintext or ciphertext (respective to whether the data is being encrypted
    or decrypted). If the keystream can be determined, then it is trivial to
    decrypt credentials for customers and administrators of the software. The
    attacker would of course be required to have prior access to this data,
    but this may be accomplished through exploitation of the SQL injection
    vulnerability described below.

    An SQL injection vulnerability has been reported in the advSearch_h.asp
    script. Data supplied via URI parameters to this script will be used
    directly in SQL queries without adequate input validation. This could
    allow for various attacks, such as disclosing encrypted user credentials
    (which could be decrypted via the previously mentioned cryptographic
    weakness). Other attacks are also possible.

    A cross-site scripting issue was reported in the Custva.asp script. Input
    supplied to the 'redirectUrl' URI parameter will be included in
    dynamically generated pages without adequate sanitization of HTML and
    script code. An attacker could exploit this issue by embedding hostile
    HTML and script code via this parameter in a malicious link. If
    unsuspecting users following this link, the attacker-supplied code may be
    rendered in the web browser in the security context of the site. This
    could be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to
    mount other attacks.

    6. RobotFTP Server Username Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 9672
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 16 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9672
    Summary:
    RobotFTP Server is an FTP Server for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    A vulnerability has been reported for RobotFTP Server. The problem likely
    occurs due to insufficient bounds checking when processing 'USER' command
    arguments of excessive length.

    By exploiting this issue to modify sensitive stack variables, an anonymous
    remote attacker may be capable of exploiting this issue to execute
    arbitrary code. This however has not been confirmed. Failed exploit
    attempts may result in a denial of service.

    7. Microsoft Outlook Express Arbitrary Program Execution Vulner...
    BugTraq ID: 9673
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 16 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9673
    Summary:
    Microsoft Outlook Express uses Internet Explorer to render HTML e-mail and
    newsgroup messages by default. A vulnerability may exist in the software
    that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary applications on a
    vulnerable system. This issue may be exploited by embedding an object in
    an HTML e-mail. It may be possible for an attacker to place a file in a
    known folder through other means and have it executed through this method.

    Due to a lack of information, further details are not available at the
    moment. This BID will be updated as more information becomes available.
    This issue may be related to the vulnerability described as Microsoft
    Outlook and Outlook Express Arbitrary Program Execution Vulnerability (BID
    6923).

    8. YABB SE Quote Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 9674
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 16 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9674
    Summary:
    YaBB SE is a freely available, open source port of Yet Another Bulletin
    Board (YaBB). It is available for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Operating
    Systems.

    A vulnerability in YaBB SE could make it possible for a remote user to
    launch SQL injection attacks.

    It has been reported that the issue exists due to insufficient sanitizing
    of the 'quote' URI parameter, it is possible for a remote user to inject
    arbitrary SQL queries into the database used by YaBB SE. This could permit
    remote attackers to pass malicious input to database queries, resulting in
    modification of query logic or other attacks.

    Successful exploitation could result in compromise of the YaBB SE,
    disclosure or modification of data or may permit an attacker to exploit
    vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation.

    Proof of concept supplied within the reported allows an attacker to gain
    access to users' password hash.

    YaBB SE versions 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 have been reported to be affected by this
    issue, however, other versions could be affected as well.

    9. RhinoSoft Serv-U FTP Server SITE CHMOD Buffer Overflow Vulne...
    BugTraq ID: 9675
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 16 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9675
    Summary:
    RhinoSoft Serv-U FTP Server is designed for use with Microsoft Windows
    operating systems.

    RhinoSoft Serv-U FTP Server has been reported prone to a remote
    post-authentication buffer overflow vulnerability.

    The vulnerability is reported to exist when a malicious filename argument
    is passed to the SITE CHMOD command. It has been reported that excessive
    data passed to the SITE CHMOD command in this manner, will overrun the
    bounds of a reserved buffer in memory. This will ultimately result in the
    two least significant bytes of a saved pointer value being corrupted with
    attacker-supplied values.

    An attacker may potentially exploit this condition to control the location
    of write into a somewhat limited range of memory. The immediate
    consequences of this may be a denial of service. Although unconfirmed it
    may be possible for an attacker to leverage this condition to have
    arbitrary code executed in the context of the affected service.

    This issue is not dependant on write permission on the affected FTP
    server.

    10. YaBB Information Leakage Weakness
    BugTraq ID: 9677
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 17 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9677
    Summary:
    YaBB (Yet Another Bulletin Board) is freely available web forum software
    that is written in Perl. YaBB will run on most Unix/Linux variants, Mac
    OS, and Microsoft Windows platforms.

    YaBB is prone to a weakness that may permit remote users to enumerate
    usernames. The cause of this issue is that YaBB returns different
    responses based on whether or not a guessed username is valid or invalid
    when the user attempts to log in. This information could aid in further
    attacks.

    It should be noted that this issue would only present a security risk on
    installations that do not allow guests or anonymous web users to browse
    the forum, in which case remote users would not be privy to usernames.
    Otherwise this information would already be publicly accessible.

    This issue was reported in YaBB 1 Gold - SP 1.3.1. Other versions may
    also be affected.

    11. Ipswitch IMail Server Remote LDAP Daemon Buffer Overflow Vul...
    BugTraq ID: 9682
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 17 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9682
    Summary:
    Ipswitch IMail is an e-mail server that serves clients their mail via a
    web interface. It runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems. IMail ships
    with an LDAP daemon.

    The Ipswitch LDAP daemon has been reported prone to a remote buffer
    overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability exists due to a lack of
    sufficient boundary checks performed on user supplied LDAP tags. When
    attacker-supplied data containing large LDAP tags is processed by the
    affected service, a stack based buffer overflow condition will be
    triggered. An attacker may exploit this condition to control variables
    that are used as an offset from the active stack frame pointer, in a write
    operation as follows:
    mov byte ptr [ebp+ecx+var_4], dl

    Because the location of the write is controlled, the remote attacker may
    overwrite the Global Exception Handler to ultimately redirect the
    execution flow of the affected service into attacker-supplied
    instructions. The attacker's payload would be executed in the security
    context of the affected service.

    12. Microsoft Windows XP Help And Support Center Interface Spoof...
    BugTraq ID: 9685
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 17 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9685
    Summary:
    A weakness has been alleged in Microsoft Windows XP that could reportedly
    allow aspects of the Help and Support Center interface to be spoofed via a
    malicious link. By spoofing this interface, an attacker could potentially
    present misleading or hostile content to a user in a manner which may
    cause the user to trust it. This weakness employs the connection.htm
    error page to present attacker-specified web pages in the interface with
    various misleading properties, such as an arbitrary title (Windows Update
    is used in the example) and instructional text.

    Symantec has not been able to reproduce this alleged weakness.

    13. WebCortex WebStores2000 Error.ASP Cross-Site Scripting Vulne...
    BugTraq ID: 9693
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 18 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9693
    Summary:
    WebCortex WebStores2000 is shopping cart software implemented in ASP. It
    is available for Microsoft Windows operating environments.

    It has been reported that WebStores2000 is prone to a cross-site scripting
    vulnerability. This issue is reportedly due to a failure to sanitize user
    input and so allow HTML and script code that may facilitate cross-site
    scripting attacks.

    This issue is reported to affect the 'Message_id' parameter of the
    'error.asp' script.

    This could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious link to the
    vulnerable application that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this
    link were followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of
    the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the web
    server and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials,
    session data, or other attacks.

    14. Microsoft Windows NtSystemDebugControl() Kernel API Function...
    BugTraq ID: 9694
    Remote: No
    Date Published: Feb 18 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9694
    Summary:
    It has been reported that security exposures exist in kernel API functions
    for Microsoft Windows operating systems that may permit local privilege
    escalation attacks.

    The primary source of these issues is that the ZwSystemDebugControl()
    function exports the NtSystemDebugControl() Windows system function, which
    is executed in kernel mode (ring 0). This could allow for numerous
    attacks which could permit users to gain elevated privileges by executing
    code in kernel context or reading from and writing to any kernel address.

    These issues were reported to exist in Microsoft Windows XP but it has
    been conjectured that Microsoft Windows Server 2003 may also be affected
    by these issues.

    It should be noted that a local user would require the SeDebugPrivilege to
    exploit these flaws.

    These flaws are currently pending further analysis. While only believed
    to be one core vulnerability at this point (with multiple attack vectors),
    it is still possible that distinct issues will be identified. In this
    case, this BID will be separated into multiple BIDs accordingly.

    15. Zone Labs ZoneAlarm SMTP Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilit...
    BugTraq ID: 9696
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 19 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9696
    Summary:
    ZoneAlarm is a firewall software package designed for Microsoft Windows
    operating systems. It is distributed and maintained by Zone Labs.

    A vulnerability has been identified in the software that may allow an
    attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system in order to gain
    unauthorized access. The problem exists due to insufficient boundary
    checking by the TrueVector Internet Monitor (vsmon.exe) process used by
    various Zone Labs applications.

    It has been reported that Zone Labs products process incoming and outgoing
    SMTP traffic to perform various security related functions. The issue is
    reportedly caused by an unchecked buffer in the Simple Mail Transfer
    Protocol (SMTP) processing, therefore it presents itself remotely when the
    target system is operating as an SMTP server on TCP port 25.
    Specifically, the issue arises when an outgoing e-mail message is examined
    and the destination e-mail address is retrieved. This vulnerability can
    be exploited remotely, if an attacker is able to send an outgoing e-mail
    message via the server. The attacker would send a message with an
    excessively large string value in the destination e-mail address field.
    By sending a large value via the destination e-mail address field to the
    'RCPT TO' command argument, a stack based buffer may overflowed in the
    vsmon.exe process.

    The issue may also be exploited locally to gain SYSTEM level privileges if
    a malicious user on the system has been given permission to access the
    network by an administrator or another user. An attacker may send a
    malicious e-mail sufficient to trigger and exploit this issue. Immediate
    consequences of an attack may result in a denial of service condition.

    Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to cause the
    firewall process to crash and/or execute arbitrary code in order to gain
    SYSTEM level access.

    ZoneAlarm family of products and Integrity client versions 4.0 and above
    are reported to be prone to this issue. Integrity Server and Integrity
    Clientless Security products are not affected by this issue.

    16. AOL Instant Messenger Buddy Icon Predictable File Location W...
    BugTraq ID: 9698
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Feb 19 2004
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9698
    Summary:
    AOL Instant Messenger stores imported Buddy Icons in a predictable
    location on client systems. Specifically, the files will be stored in the
    following location on the local filesystem:

    c:\documents and settings\username\application data\aim\bartcache\1

    Other attacks are possible given the ability to store content on a system
    in a predictable location, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Shell:
    IFrame Cross-Zone Scripting Vulnerability (BID 9628). The issue describe
    in BID 9628 may allow hostile script code to access properties of an
    IFrame that has been opened in the context of the My Computer Zone.
    Reportedly, if an IFrame opens up a local resource using a 'shell:' link,
    it may be possible for the page that spawns the IFrame to access
    properties of the My Computer Zone.

    The issue could be exploited via a malicious web page created by the
    attacker. The attacker would then create another page that includes code
    such as:

    <iframe src="shell:appdata\aim\bartcache\1\maliciousfile"></iframe>

    By creating a hyperlink to the malicious page and sending it to a victim
    in a buddy list running AOL Instant Messenger client, this issue could
    potentially allow for remote compromise of the client system in the
    context of the client user. Successful exploitation would require that
    the victim exists on your buddy list.

    This issue has been tested on AOL Instant Messenger versions 4.3 to 5.5,
    however, it is possible that other versions are affected as well.

    3. AppSentry
    By: Integrigy
    Platforms: Windows 2000, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows XP
    Relevant URL: http://www.integrigy.com/appsentry.htm
    Summary:

    AppSentry is a new generation of security scanner and vulnerability
    assessment tool. Unlike other security scanners, AppSentry knows the
    application it is validating ? its technology and data model. The security
    audits and checks are written specifically for the application being
    tested. Hackers and mischievous employees often exploit security issues at
    different layers of the technology stack, thus only a complete and
    comprehensive security validation will uncover all risks in a multi-tiered
    environment.

    The advantage of AppSentry is now you don't have to seperate tools for the
