II. BUGTRAQ SUMMARY
-------------------
1. SSH Communications SSH Server Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6247
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 25 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6247
Summary:

Secure Shell is the commercial SSH implementation distributed and
maintained by SSH Communications. It is available for the Unix, Linux, and
Microsoft Windows platforms.

SSH Communications has reported a vulnerability in SSH server, which could
result in local privilege escalation.

The setsid() function is used to create a new process group for forked
processes. It has been reported that SSH server fails to run setsid() on
non-interactive sessions, resulting in user processes in the parent
process group and retaining the 'root' login name.

By executing programs that verify privileges against the login name (for
example, those that rely on the BSD getlogin() function), it may be
possible to execute various actions with escalated privileges.

Exploiting this issue has varied results depending on the operating
system.

For this issue to be exploitable an attacker must have a local account on
the target system.

2. PHP-Nuke Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
BugTraq ID: 6244
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 25 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6244
Summary:

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

Several cross site scripting vulnerabilities have been reported for
PHP-Nuke. Affected modules include the Discussion module, News module, and
PM module among others. This vulnerability is due to insufficient
sanitization of all HTML tags.

An attacker may exploit this vulnerability by enticing a victim user to
follow a malicious link. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code may be
executed on a web client in the context of the site hosting the web-based
forum.

Attackers may potentially exploit this issue to manipulate web content or
to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. It may be possible to
take arbitrary actions as the victim user.

These vulnerabilities have been reported for PHP-Nuke 6.5b1 and earlier.

3. VBulletin members2.php Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6246
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 25 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6246
Summary:

vBulletin is commercial web forum software written in PHP and back-ended
by a MySQL database. It will run on most Linux and Unix variants, as well
as Microsoft operating systems.

The $perpage variable is used to control the way of reciting subscribed
threads. This variable is later added to a query that is used to fetch
database records. If an invalid value is passed to the $perpage variable,
an error page is generated. Due to insufficient sanitization of data
passed to the $perpage variable, it is possible to inject script code into
the variable, which will be included in the error page.

As a result, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious
link containing script code which will be executed in the browser of a
legitimate user, in the context of the website running vBulletin.

This issue may be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication
credentials from legitimate users of the website running the vulnerable
software. The attacker may use cookie-based authentication credentials to
hijack the session of the legitimate user.

4. Netscape/Mozilla POP3 Mail Handler Integer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6254
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 26 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6254
Summary:

The Netscape Communicator and Mozilla browsers include support for email,
and the ability to fetch mail through a POP3 server. Both products are
available for a range of platforms, including Microsoft Windows and Linux.

An integer overflow vulnerability has been reported for the
Netscape/Mozilla POP3 mail handler routines. These routines are found in
'mozilla/mailnews/local/src/nsPop3Protocol.cpp'. Reportedly, insufficient
checks are performed on some server-supplied values. Specifically, the
value for m_pop3ConData->number_of_messages is not sufficiently checked
for large values.

An attacker may exploit this vulnerability through an attacker-controlled
POP3 server. By issuing a very large integer value that is used by the
Netscape/Mozilla POP3 mail handler, it may be possible to cause the
integer overflow condition and allocate a buffer that is too small. A
buffer overflow condition may result if the malicious attacker-controlled
server attempts to write into the buffer at a location beyond the boundary
of what was actually allocated.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to
obtain control over the execution of the vulnerable Netscape/Mozilla
process.

5. Null HTTPD Remote Heap Corruption Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6255
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 26 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6255
Summary:

The ReadPOSTData() function allocates in_ContentLength+1024 into the
pPostData buffer, which is used to receive POST data. The server reads
POST data into the pPostData buffer from a network socket until the data
received is less then 1024 bytes.

Sending over 1024 bytes of POST data will cause the server to read up to
another 1024 bytes from the socket. If a small ContentLength is supplied
by the attacker, it is possible overflow the allocated buffer while
reading in the second packet of data. This is due to an insufficient loop
parameter while receiving data from the network.

An attacker may exploit this condition to overwrite arbitrary words in
memory through the free() function.  This may allow for the execution of
arbitrary code.

It should be noted that this vulnerability is similar to the issue
described in BID 5574, but requires a slightly different method to
trigger.

6. FreeNews Include Undefined Variable Command Execution Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6258
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 26 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6258
Summary:

FreeNews is a freely available, open source News software package.  It is
written in PHP, and designed for use on Unix and Linux operating systems.

A problem with FreeNews could make command execution possible.

Programming errors in FreeNews could lead to the inclusion of arbitrary
files on remote servers in the web application.  It is possible for a
remote user to place commands in these include files that could result in
execution on the local host.  This would make remote arbitrary command
execution as the web user possible.

The problem occurs in the aff_news.php file.  By loading this file, and
defining the chemin variable to an arbitrary location, commands can be
executed on the local host.  This vulnerability may also be used to reveal
sensitive information on the local host.

7. Pserv HTTP POST Request Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6242
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 25 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6242
Summary:

Pserv (Pico Server) is a freely available web server designed for Linux
and Unix variant operating systems.

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in Pserv. Reportedly, it
is possible to overflow a local buffer by making a malicious HTTP request.

Due to insufficient checks performed on user-supplied, by omitting the
'\n' character from a malicious POST request, it is possible to overrun
the 'token' buffer.

Exploitation of this issue will result in a denial of service. Although it
has not been confirmed, it may be possible for an attacker to execute
arbitrary code.

This vulnerability was reported for Pserv 2.0 beta 3. It is likely that
earlier versions are affected.

8. phpBB Script Injection Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6248
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 25 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6248
Summary:

phpBB2 is an open-source web forum application that is written in PHP and
supported by a number of database products.  It will run on most Unix and
Linux variants, as well as Microsoft Windows operating systems.

phpBB does not properly sanitize script code from HTML tags embedded in a
forum posting.  This vulnerability could allow a user to inject malicious
script code into forum postings that would in turn be executed when the
page is viewed by a legitimate user of the forum.  The attacker-supplied
code would be executed in the security context of the phpBB site.

The attacker supplied code would be able to access cookie data, including
authentication credentials, and to take actions on the vulnerable site as
the currently authenticated user.

9. Web Server Creator Web Portal Remote File Include Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6251
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 25 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6251
Summary:

Web Server Creator is a PHP based portal that includes a forum, chat,
guestbook, and news functions.  It operates on Windows, Linux, and Unix
systems.

The Web Server Creator Web Portal is prone to an issue which may allow
remote attackers to include arbitrary files located on remote servers.
This issue is present in the customize.php and index.php scripts.

An attacker may exploit this by supplying a path to a maliciously created
file, located on an attacker-controlled host as a value for the 'l' or
'pg' parameter.

If the remote file is a PHP script, this may allow for execution of
attacker-supplied PHP code with the privileges of the webserver.
Successful exploitation may provide local access to the attacker.

10. Bugzilla quips Feature Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6257
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 26 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6257
Summary:

Bugzilla is a freely available, open source bug tracking software package.
It is available for Linux, Unix, and Microsoft Operating Systems.

A cross site scripting vulnerability has been reported for Bugzilla. This
vulnerability only affects users who have the 'quips' feature enabled.

The quips feature is designed to put short, user-supplied comments at the
top of bug lists. Reportedly, Bugzilla does not properly sanitize any
input submitted by users.

As a result, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious
link containing script code which will be executed in the browser of a
legitimate user, in the context of the website running Bugzilla.

This issue may be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication
credentials from legitimate users of the website running the vulnerable
software.

11. YaBB YaBB.pl Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6272
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 28 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6272
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, MacOS,
and Microsoft Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP platforms.

A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been reported in the YaBB forum
'YaBB.pl' script. This vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization
of URI parameters.

As a result, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious
link to the login page of a site hosting the web forum. The malicious link
may contain arbitrary HTML code in URI parameters. When this link is
visited by an unsuspecting web user, the attacker-supplied code will be
executed in their browser in the security context of the vulnerable
website.

It has been demonstrated that this vulnerability may be exploited to steal
cookie-based authentication credentials.

This vulnerability has been reported for YaBB 1 Gold - SP 1. It is not
known if other versions are affected.

12. Traceroute-Nanog Hostname Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6274
Remote: No
Date Published: Nov 28 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6274
Summary:

Traceroute is a tool that is used to track packets in a TCP/IP network to
determine the path of network connections.  This vulnerability affects the
Traceroute-Nanog program, written for Unix and Linux operating systems.

A problem with Traceroute-Nanog may make it possible to execute arbitrary
code locally on a vulnerable host.

It has been reported that a buffer overflow exists in Traceroute-Nanog.
Due to insufficient bounds checking in the Traceroute-Nanog program, a
user may execute the program with a hostname of arbitrary length, and
cause the overwriting of stack memory within the process.  This could
result in the execution of attacker-supplied instructions.

This program may present a risk if installed with setuid privileges.  By
default, this program is installed with setuid privileges on Linux
operating systems such as SuSE.

13. SSH Communications Secure Shell Windows Client URL Catcher Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6263
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 27 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6263
Summary:

Secure Shell is the commercial SSH implementation distributed and
maintained by SSH Communications. It is available for the Unix, Linux, and
Microsoft Windows platforms.

A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported for the Secure Shell
Windows client. The vulnerability is due to an error in the URL handling
of the Secure Shell client. Reportedly, it is possible for a buffer
overflow condition to be triggered when a user clicks on a very long URL.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious link,
containing at least 480 characters, and enticing a victim user to click
it. This will result in the buffer overflow condition being triggered and
causing sensitive areas in memory to be overwritten with attacker-supplied
values. Any malicious attacker-supplied code embedded in the URL will be
executed on the victim system.

This vulnerability affects the Secure Shell client for Microsoft Windows.

14. Lib CGI Include Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6264
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 27 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6264
Summary:

Lib CGI is a freely available, open source CGI library for C programmers.
It is available for Unix and Linux operating systems.

A buffer overflow may make the remote execution of arbitrary code possible
on a vulnerable host.

It has been reported that a buffer overflow exists in the Lib CGI
development library.  Due to improper bounds checking in an include file,
programs making use of this include, or programs linked against libraries
using this include could be vulnerable to a remote buffer overflow attack.
This could result in an attacker gaining remote access with the privileges
of the web server process.

The libcgi.h include distributed with the Lib CGI development package
contains an erroneous piece of code.  It has been reported that on line 76
of the include file, unchecked data is copied into a static buffer.  This
could result in the overflow of data, and potential execution of
attacker-supplied instructions.

15. News Evolution Include Undefined Variable Command Execution Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6260
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 26 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6260
Summary:

News Evolution is a freely available, open source news software package.
It is written in PHP, and designed for use on Unix and Linux operating
systems.

A problem with News Evolution could make command execution possible.

Programming errors in News Evolution could lead to the inclusion of
arbitrary files on remote servers in the web application.  It is possible
for a remote user to place commands in these include files that could
result in execution on the local host.  This would make remote arbitrary
command execution as the web user possible.

The problem occurs in the aff_news.php file.  By loading this file, and
defining the chemin variable to an arbitrary location, commands can be
executed on the local host.  This vulnerability may also be used to reveal
sensitive information on the local host.  This same vulnerability also
occurs in the export_news.php file.

An additional problem in the neurl variable could result in the same
exposure in other files.  It is possible to arbitrarily include code
through the neurl variable in the file screen.php.

16. PortailPHP SQL Injection Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6273
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 28 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6273
Summary:

Portail PHP is a Web portal project based PHP and MySQL. It is available
for the Linux, Unix, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

A vulnerability exists in the mod_search module included with PortailPHP.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of variables used to
construct SQL queries in the 'index.php' script. Specifically, the 'rech'
variable is not sanitized of malicious SQL input. It is possible to modify
the logic of SQL queries through malformed query strings in requests for
the vulnerable script.

By injecting SQL code into the 'rech' variable, it may be possible for an
attacker to corrupt database information.

17. pWins Web Server Directory Traversal Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6271
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 28 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6271
Summary:

pWins is a Web server implemented using Ruby and Perl. It is designed for
use on Linux variant and Microsoft Windows operating environments.

It has been reported that pWins fails to properly sanitize web requests.
By sending a malicious web request to the vulnerable server, using
directory traversal sequences, it is possible for a remote attacker to
access sensitive resources located outside of the web root.

An attacker is able to traverse outside of the established web root by
using dot-dot-slash (../) directory traversal sequences. An attacker may
be able to obtain any web server readable files from outside of the web
root directory.

Disclosure of sensitive system files may aid the attacker in launching
further attacks against the target system.

This vulnerability has been reported for pWins 0.2.5 for the Microsoft
Windows platform.

18. Bogofilter Bogopass Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6278
Remote: No
Date Published: Nov 29 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6278
Summary:

Bogofilter is a package used to filter spam from incoming email. It is
available for Linux and Unix variant operating environments. Bogopass is a
Perl script included with Bogofilter.

Reportedly, bogopass creates temporary files in a predictable manner.
Specifically, temporary files will be created in '/tmp' as
'bogopass.<PID>'. As a result, it is possible for local attackers to read
or corrupt files readable by the bogopass process. An attacker could
potentially exploit this issue by creating a symbolic link in place of the
temporary file which is created. Any actions performed by bogopass when it
is executed will be performed on the file pointed to by the symbolic link.

An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to read, or corrupt,
potentially critical system files.

19. Boozt index.cgi Buffer Overrun Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 6281
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Nov 29 2002 12:00AM
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6281
Summary:

Boozt is a banner management program available for the Linux operating
system.

A buffer overrun has been discovered in the index.cgi script used by
Boozt. By passing a string of excessive length, as the value for the $name
parameter, to the vulnerable script, it is possible to overwrite a static
buffer. This may result in the corruption of sensitive system memory.

By overwriting sensitive memory with attacker-supplied values, it may be
possible to direct program flow to execute malicious instructions.
Successful exploitation will result in the execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the Boozt process.

This issue is known to affect Boozt 0.9.8 and it is not known whether
other versions are affected.
