Security
As seen
on the interesting-people list: a Firefox (on Windows) user visits a
"mainstream" web
site, then finds a bit of malware running on his system, trying to phone
home. The problem this time around was not the web site itself; instead,
the unpleasant code was contained within an image being served as a banner
advertisement. Many ad networks claim to be able to deliver readers, but
one does not normally understand them to bring the users' systems along as
well.
Over the last few years, there has been a long and tiresome series of
buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the libraries which interpret various
image formats. Often, the associated updates are widespread, needing to
update several packages which use the affected libraries. Closing these
vulnerabilities may seem like a pointless exercise; we may not expect to be
attacked by way of an image file. But applications like web browsers and
instant messaging clients do accept images from unknown sources, and that
makes them vulnerable to attack. Even some CD players will grab and display
images (CD covers) from the net. If an image library is vulnerable, the
software which uses that library is vulnerable, and there can be no doubt
that, where a vulnerability exists, certain people will be there to exploit
it.
Advertising networks look like an especially effective means for the
dispersal of malicious images. Even if every company which serves
advertisements were diligent in checking all images for malware (unlikely),
detecting all exploits would be a challenge.
Meanwhile, a widespread ad network can distribute images from no end of web
sites, most of which are unlikely to be compromised in more straightforward
ways. The person reporting this particular episode noted that The Onion's
site was one of those distributing malicious images; The Onion may have a
stranger than normal sense of humor, but it does not extend to practical
jokes of this nature.
One hopes that the image-handling libraries will get more secure over
time. One may not be so naive as to hope that more complex things, such as
Flash, will also improve, but a Flash-free browser generally yields a
better web experience anyway. Meanwhile, it is well to remember that any path which
allows data into our systems may be used against us, and advertising
networks are a path with true strangers at the other end. Online ads are
obnoxious enough as it is; if they become known for carrying malware, even
more people will likely find themselves motivated to block ads altogether.

|
| Created: | July 25, 2005 |
Updated: | November 7, 2005 |
| Description: |
Watchfire reported a flaw that occurred when using the Apache server as an
HTTP proxy. A remote attacker could send an HTTP request with both a
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a "Content-Length" header. This
caused Apache to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in
a way that the receiving server processes it as a separate HTTP request.
This could allow the bypass of Web application firewall protection or lead
to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Marc Stern reported an off-by-one overflow in the mod_ssl CRL verification
callback. In order to exploit this issue the Apache server would need to
be configured to use a malicious certificate revocation list (CRL). |

It was discovered that the kernel's embedded zlib compression library

libgd2: buffer overflows in PNG handling
| Package(s): | libgd2 |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2004-0990
CAN-2004-0941
|
| Created: | October 29, 2004 |
Updated: | June 28, 2006 |
| Description: |
Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libgd's PNG handling
functions.
If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they
could leverage this into executing arbitrary code in the context of
the user opening image. Most importantly, this library is commonly
used in PHP. One possible target would be a PHP driven photo website
that lets users upload images. Therefore this vulnerability might lead
to privilege escalation to a web server's privileges.
Multiple buffer overflows in the gd graphics library (libgd) 2.0.21 and
earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed
image files that trigger the overflows due to improper calls to the
gdMalloc function. |

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in OpenVPN that were fixed in
the 2.0.1 release:
A DoS attack against the server when run with "verb 0" and without
"tls-auth" when a client connection to the server fails certificate
verification, the OpenSSL error queue is not properly flushed. This could
result in another unrelated client instance on the server seeing the error
and responding to it, resulting in a disconnection of the unrelated client.
A DoS attack against the server by an authenticated client that sends a
packet which fails to decrypt on the server, the OpenSSL error queue was
not properly flushed. This could result in another unrelated client
instance on the server seeing the error and responding to it, resulting in
a disconnection of the unrelated client.
A DoS attack against the server by an authenticated client is possible in
"dev tap" ethernet bridging mode where a malicious client could
theoretically flood the server with packets appearing to come from hundreds
of thousands of different MAC addresses, resulting in the OpenVPN process
exhausting system virtual memory.
If two or more client machines tried to connect to the server at the same
time via TCP, using the same client certificate, a race condition could
crash the server if --duplicate-cn is not enabled on the server. |
