PATCHIT

The ThreatCon is currently at Level 2: Elevated.
The ThreatCon is currently at Level 2. The DeepSight honeynet has observed in-the-wild exploit attempts targeting a GDI vulnerability patched by Microsoft on April 8, 2008. The malicious image appears to target the Microsoft Windows GDI Stack Overflow Vulnerability (BID 28570). At least three different sites are hosting the images; two different malicious binaries are associated with the attacks. Analysis of the images has shown that although they appear to be malicious, they do not contain enough data in the associated image property to sufficiently trigger the vulnerability. We are still investigating as to why this may be the case. Users are advised to apply the MS08-021 patches immediately. These attack attempts highlight the severity of this issue -- it is only a matter of time before new images that successfully trigger the issue are observed in the wild. Administrators are also advised to filter activity to the following IP addresses and/or domains: 211.239.126.10 (hxxp://igloofamily.com) 59.124.92.168 (hxxp://amrc.com.tw) ad.goog1e.googlepages.com Symantec IPS detects the exploit; however, some of the associated malware that is delivered with the attack is not detected. Symantec Security Response is currently investigating the undetected malware and will make detection available soon.

INFOSECURITY

For those of you who are interested. Symantec published its bi-annual Global internet security threat report. It can be read here.

Internet Stability

The United Nations recently sponsored a conference to discuss the control of the Internets Domain Name System, AKA; the systems which manage the internet. Mostly under the control of the greatest empire ever, the USA. You would think the Russian goverment would be happy we keep the internet stable enough, so that all their woman can continue to make a living. But no, they are demanding that internet governence be under the control of an international community. "With no concrete recommendations for action coming from the meeting, the only certainty going forward is that any resentment about the American influence will only grow as more users from the developing world come online, changing the face of the global network. "

Apple QuickTime Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities

Original release date: November 06, 2007

Last revised: --

Source: US-CERT

Systems Affected

Vulnerabilities in Apple QuickTime affect

* Apple Mac OS X

* Microsoft Windows

Overview

Apple QuickTime contains multiple vulnerabilities. Exploitation of

these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute

arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

I. Description

Apple QuickTime 7.3 resolves multiple vulnerabilities in the way

different types of image and media files are handled. An attacker

could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to access a

specially crafted image or media file that could be hosted on a web

page.

Note that Apple iTunes installs QuickTime, so any system with iTunes

is vulnerable.

II. Impact

These vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker

to execute arbitrary code or commands and cause a denial-of-service

condition. For further information, please see About the security

content of QuickTime 7.3.

III. Solution

Upgrade QuickTime

Upgrade to QuickTime 7.3. This and other updates for Mac OS X are

available via Apple Update.

Secure your web browser

To help mitigate these and other vulnerabilities that can be exploited

via a web browser, refer to Securing Your Web Browser.

BOTNETS

This is an interesting report regarding BotNets. For those of you who don’t know yet, botnets are hundreds of thousands of compromised machines controlled by a single group or entity, usually used for malicious purposes. These botnets are mostly Windows machines without windows updates. That’s right. If you don’t update your windows operating system you could be playing a part of these zombie networks.

As a gaming community we have many geeks running 'alternative' desktop operating systems and servers. These latest reports are showing that Linux is also vulnerable to these groups. http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/scrt/CD0B9D97EE6FE411CC25736A000E4723

If your interested in information security and you want me to discus a particular subject please let me know.

Sans.org

Another find from Sans.org. For you info sec freaks... For those of you who do not patch. Good luck with that. In Summary:
After deobfuscating the payload I found out that it contains the typical set of exploits: the ADODB vulnerability exploit (MS06-014), the QuickTime and WinZIP exploits, AOL SB.SuperBuddy.1, WebViewFolderIcon and the VML Element Integer Overflow . Finally, one new addition is the exploit for the NCTAudioFile2 ActiveX vulnerability (http://secunia.com/secunia_research/2007-2/advisory). While this is an old vulnerability dating from January 2007, a fully working exploit was publicly released in April and what’s worse is that the affected ActiveX control is delivered with dozens(!!!) of popular audio/video applications. This is shifting the patching process from the base OS to client applications which is usually much more difficult for users, especially if those applications don’t support automatic updates so it’s left up to the user to first find out that he has a vulnerable application and then manually patch it. The rest of the story at http://isc.sans.org/      

More Updates to do.

If your not yet over this months Windows updates. Heres another: Since 40% of our audience uses FireFox as a browswer I thought it pertinent to post: DO YOUR UDPATES OR REINSTALL WINDOWS. National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA07-199A   Mozilla Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities Original release date: July 18, 2007 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT   Systems Affected * Mozilla Firefox * Mozilla Thunderbird Other products based on Mozilla components may also be affected.   Overview The Mozilla web browser and derived products contain several vulnerabilities, the most severe of which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.   I. Description Mozilla has released new versions of Firefox and Thunderbird to address several vulnerabilities. Further details about these vulnerabilities are available from Mozilla and the Vulnerability Notes Database. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to view a specially-crafted HTML document, such as a web page or an HTML email message.   II. Impact While the impacts of the individual vulnerabilities vary, the most severe could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. An attacker may also be able to cause a denial of service or obtain private information.   III. Solution   Upgrade These vulnerabilities are addressed in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.5 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.5.   Disable JavaScript Some of these vulnerabilities can be mitigated by disabling JavaScript or using the NoScript extension. For more information about configuring Firefox, please see the Securing Your Web Browser document. Thunderbird disables JavaScript and Java by default.   IV.
