Who owns your domain?
January 31, 2007
This article was contributed by Jake Edge.
Using a domain registrar to reserve a domain seems a relatively
straightforward transaction; one pays the registrar to ensure that the
domain resolves to the addresses specified. The content at the domain
would seem to be the responsibility of the registrant, leaving the registrar
unconcerned with anything other than the technical DNS issues and making
deposits. Unfortunately, that is not always the case as Fyodor (of
Nmap fame) found out
recently when GoDaddy effectively shut down his
seclists.org site. With
essentially no warning, GoDaddy stopped anyone from viewing the content
of seclists (an excellent, comprehensive archive of security mailing lists)
due to a complaint from MySpace.
Evidently concerned about MySpace username/password lists that
were floating around the Internet and being posted to mailing lists, such
as full-disclosure, MySpace went directly to the registrar of
a site that archives the list. They made no attempt to contact Fyodor,
whose email is prominently listed on the seclists contact page, to request
that he remove the offending posts. When contacted, GoDaddy evidently
deliberated for a minute or two before rerouting DNS requests for seclists.org
to NS1.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM.
One would like to think that a registrar might require a complaining party
to take some steps to try and have the offending content removed.
One would also hope that a registrar might check with their customer about
the complaint before taking any action. Unfortunately, if one uses GoDaddy,
neither of those is likely to be the case. GoDaddy was willing to completely
block access to content, the vast majority of which is outside the scope of
the complaint, based on a single request from a large company. It is also unclear what
steps GoDaddy
took to confirm the validity of the complaint before shutting down the site.
One would hope
that randomly calling GoDaddy and claiming to be from MySpace (or another
large organization) would not be a route to shutting down sites.
In Fyodor's
account of
the incident, he had to make numerous attempts to contact someone at GoDaddy
to even find out why the site had been blocked. GoDaddy did not even
see fit to tell their paying customer why they blocked the site and
provided no easy route for reinstatement. This kind of behavior is not likely
to lead to customer satisfaction; unsurprisingly, Fyodor is currently looking for a
new registrar. He has also started the
NoDaddy site to document abuses by
GoDaddy and to help find alternative providers that will not cave in to
the slightest pressure.
After numerous phone calls and emails, Fyodor was finally able to get
the site back up. He was quite willing to remove the content that
so offended MySpace as he has in the past for content, mostly from
the full-disclosure list, that has generated legitimate complaints. It
should be noted, however, that removing the content from seclists.org
did almost nothing to fix the problem; much like trying to put toothpaste
back in the tube, reversing an information leak onto the Internet is well
nigh impossible. Worse yet, the way they went about things caused enough
of a stink that now even casual observers know how to
track down this password list; the malicious folks, of course, already
had it.
This story might have been less damaging to GoDaddy (and MySpace for that
matter) had they admitted a mistake was made and that in the future they would
make some efforts to work with their customer to resolve complaints. Instead,
they did the opposite and went on the offensive
claiming
that giving any notice was "generous" while essentially admitting that
the notice was on the order of one minute. They were also quick to play
the "its for the children" card in defending their actions. Somehow the
fact that the lists had been available for nine days and that MySpace did
nothing at their end (such as suspending the accounts if there was a password
match from the list) to alleviate the problem, went completely over the
heads of the folks at GoDaddy.
It seems implausible that MySpace would put up with the same treatment. If
one were to find a page at MySpace with a list of usernames and passwords
for that site or some other site frequented by teenagers, does that mean you
can have MySpace routed to spam-and-abuse.com with a simple phone call to
their registrar? The whole idea of registrars participating in web
censorship is a slippery slope and one that sensible registrars will avoid;
do they want to be in the middle of these kinds of disputes? It probably
seemed very easy to GoDaddy in this case, MySpace vs. a 'hacker', but where
are they going to draw the line?
For domain owners, this situation should provide an opportunity to go back
and review the Terms of Service at your registrar. A community effort,
like the one at NoDaddy, can
hopefully identify a number of registrars who are more interested in providing
the service they are paid for to the people who pay them than they are in
appeasing the MySpaces of the world.

Updated: | November 14, 2007 |
| Description: |
From the MOKB-05-11-2006
advisory: "The ISO9660 filesystem handling code of the Linux
2.6.x kernel fails to properly handle corrupted data structures, leading to
an exploitable denial of service condition. This particular vulnerability
seems to be caused by a race condition and a signedness issue. When
performing a read operation on a corrupted ISO9660 fs stream, the
isofs_get_blocks() function will enter an infinite loop when
__find_get_block_slow() callback from sb_getblk() fails ("due to various
races between file io on the block device and getblk")." |

kernel: denial of service
| Package(s): | kernel |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2006-2935
CVE-2006-4145
CVE-2006-3745
|
| Created: | September 1, 2006 |
Updated: | July 30, 2008 |
| Description: |
Previous versions of the kernel package are subject to several
vulnerabilities. Certain malformed UDF filesystems can cause the system to
crash (denial of service). Malformed CDROM firmware or USB storage devices
(such as USB keys) could cause system crash (denial of service), and if
they were intentionally malformed, can cause arbitrary code to run with
elevated privileges. In addition, the SCTP protocol is subject to a remote
system crash (denial of service) attack. |

| Package(s): | koffice |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2006-6120
|
| Created: | November 30, 2006 |
Updated: | February 20, 2007 |
| Description: |

krb5: uninitialized pointers
| Package(s): | krb5 |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2006-6143
CVE-2006-3084
|
| Created: | January 10, 2007 |
Updated: | January 25, 2007 |
| Description: |
The kdamind daemon can, in some situations, perform operations on uninitialized pointers. This bug could conceivably open up the system to a code execution attack by an unauthenticated remote attacker, but it appears to be difficult to exploit. See this advisory for details. |

libgadu: memory alignment bug
| Package(s): | libgadu |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2005-2370
|
| Created: | July 29, 2005 |
Updated: | June 25, 2007 |
| Description: |
Szymon Zygmunt and Michal Bartoszkiewicz discovered a memory alignment
error in libgadu (from ekg, console Gadu Gadu client, an instant
messaging program) which is included in gaim, a multi-protocol instant
messaging client, as well. This can not be exploited on the x86
architecture but on others, e.g. on Sparc and lead to a bus error,
in other words a denial of service.

CVE #(s): | CVE-2007-0235
|
| Created: | January 15, 2007 |
Updated: | August 9, 2007 |
| Description: |
The /proc parsing routines in libgtop are vulnerable to a buffer overflow.
If an attacker can run a process in a specially crafted long
path then trick a user into running gnome-system-monitor,
arbitrary code can be executed with the user's privileges. |

libmodplug: boundary errors
| Package(s): | libmodplug |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2006-4192
|
| Created: | December 11, 2006 |
Updated: | September 28, 2007 |
| Description: |
Luigi Auriemma has reported various boundary errors in load_it.cpp and
a boundary error in the "CSoundFile::ReadSample()" function in
sndfile.cpp. A remote attacker can entice a user to read crafted modules
or ITP files, which may trigger a buffer overflow resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application. |

The t2p_write_pdf_string function in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier is vulnerable
to a buffer overflow. Attackers can use a TIFF file with UTF-8 characters
in the DocumentName tag to overflow a buffer, causing a denial of service,
and possibly the execution of arbitrary code. |
