Security
Domain Name System (DNS) cache poisoning has been a problem, on and off, for
years. There has
been a kind of an arms race with security researchers periodically
finding problems in DNS server implementations and the vendors racing to
fix them.
Amit Klein of Trusteer recently released a
vulnerability
report for the Berkeley Internet
Name Daemon (BIND) showing a rather reliable means to poison
the cache of a nameserver that runs it. The consequences of this poisoning
can be quite severe, invisibly rerouting traffic bound for a given host
to one under an attacker's control.
We will dispense with the usual overview of DNS, it was briefly described in
an April LWN article -
the vulnerability
executive summary and
Wikipedia article have useful
descriptions as well.
There are essentially two types of DNS servers: those that directly reply
to queries about a particular zone (zone servers) and those that cache
query results (caching servers). An internet
service provider or company will typically set up a few caching DNS servers
that actually talk to the zone servers, and configure all client machines to
make their DNS requests to the caching servers. Once an entry has been entered
into the cache of those servers, it will not be requested again until the
time-to-live (TTL) of the entry expires. If an attacker can get an incorrect
entry put into the cache, especially one with a very long TTL, he can
redirect traffic to servers under his control. This is the "poison" in
the cache.
DNS uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is stateless rather than
connection-oriented. This allows attackers to send "answers" to DNS
queries that they never received. They can forge the IP address of the
nameserver that would be queried; if the bogus response is received before
the real response, it will be used and the real one dropped. Several steps
are taken to make it more difficult for an attacker to forge a response,
but one of those countermeasures was not correctly implemented in BIND,
leading to this most recent vulnerability.
The DNS protocol contains a 16-bit transaction ID field that must be matched
between the query and the response in order to be considered valid. Early
DNS implementations just incremented those transaction IDs for each new query,
making it trivial for an attacker's program to predict which was coming next.
The obvious fix is to randomize the transaction IDs, which is exactly what
BIND did, unfortunately not quite as randomly as they might have hoped.
Random number generation (RNG) is one of those things that seems
like it should be blindingly simple, but turns out to be incredibly
difficult to do correctly. For things like games or simulations, it is
relatively straightforward to create an RNG with reasonable properties, but
for security and cryptography, it is much more difficult. One of the key
properties that a crypto-strength RNG must have is unpredictability. One
way to look at that is to determine how much RNG output an attacker must see
before they can make informed guesses about the next "random" number. This
is where the BIND algorithm was found to be lacking.
By studying the code used to generate the transaction IDs, Klein noticed that
if the transaction ID was even (least significant bit was zero), there were
only ten possible values that could be generated as the next transaction ID.
Other techniques had been able to reduce the search space to around 5000
possibilities, but forging and sending that many bogus DNS responses
before the real reply reaches the recipient is not a very reliable
poisoning technique. With only ten responses to send, it is quite possible
to get the bogus response there first, especially if the real DNS server is
busy and responds a little slowly.
If an attacker (at attacker.com) wanted to poison the
cache entry of financial-site.com for the users at randomisp.com, they
would need to lure a user of randomisp.com's caching DNS server to
visit attacker.com. When the DNS server at randomisp.com queries the
attacker.com DNS server, that server looks at the transaction ID, if it
is odd, it sends back a redirection to itself (using a DNS feature called
CNAME chaining). If the transaction ID is even, it quickly calculates the
ten possible values for the next transaction ID and starts sending responses
for financial-site.com using those IDs. In addition, it redirects the query
to financial-site.com. If that site is not in the cache, or its cache entry
has expired, randomisp.com's DNS server will make a query, probably using
one of the ten transaction IDs (unless an intervening query has gone out),
to financial-site.com. It is very likely that one of the bogus responses
will be picked up and the attacker now controls the mapping of
financial-site.com to an IP address, for all users of randomisp.com.
Normally, the invitation to visit attacker.com would go out as spam or
by some other means that tricks users into going places that they probably
should not. No particular ISP is targeted, the poisoning is used as part
of a pharming attack.
Pharming is typically used to get credentials, usernames and passwords, for
financial and other sites by spoofing a well-known website on an attacker's
server. Because of the cache poisoning, the user could use a bookmark or
even type in the financial-site.com address, but still end up at the
attacker's site. The website graphics and login process are duplicated
there which causes the user (or his browser's password manager) to type in
the credentials and hit submit.
The full
report makes for quite an interesting read. Klein describes several
other means of attack and weaknesses in the BIND RNG, including ways to
completely recover the internal state of the RNG. Internet Systems
Consortium (ISC), the maintainers of BIND have released an updated
version, with a new RNG, though there was very little description of
the problem or the fix in their advisory. The
problem has been assigned CVE-2007-2926
but, as of this writing, that is just a placeholder.
This is quite a serious vulnerability and should be rather embarrassing to
the folks at ISC. The problems with transaction IDs and the need for
their unpredictability have been known for many years. It is not at
all beyond the realm of possibility that the analysis done by Klein, was done
by the attacker community some time ago, and has been used already. Widespread
usage would likely have been detected, but if used judiciously, it could
have been exploited for quite some time.
Another technique that could help avoid these kinds of attacks would be to
randomize (crypto-strength RNG, of course) the source UDP port on each query.
BIND currently chooses a single random UDP source port at startup time and
uses that throughout its life. If an attacker could not predict the port
to send a bogus response to, it almost would not matter that they could
predict what response to send.

One week ago we reported that
Samsung's printer driver installation script compromised the security of
the systems it was run on by turning a few small applications (like
OpenOffice.org) into setuid root executables. We have just heard from
Samsung that this problem has been fixed. A quick look at the new
installer confirms that the calls making those applications setuid have
been commented out, though the structure to do that work remains in place.

Wesabe has announced the availability of an open source Firefox extension to help with online banking. " Setting up Wesabe accounts for banks that provide automatic data
downloads, including American Express, Chase and USAA, only takes seconds
-- members simply need to enter their username and password. The extension
auto-records a login and download, and then plays it back as frequently as
the member wants updated data. The extension works equally as well for
banks that don't provide automatic downloads -- members use the extension
to 'record' an actual download session from their bank Web site, a process
that typically takes between one and two minutes." One can only hope that this source gets audited well; it would be an optimal trojan horse platform, and is sure to be a cracker target as well.

| Description: |
shutdown and moz_bug_r_a4 reported two separate ways to modify an
XPCNativeWrapper such that subsequent access by the browser would result in
executing user-supplied code. (CVE-2007-3738)
Michal Zalewski reported that it was possible to bypass the same-origin
checks and read from cached (wyciwyg) documents It is possible to access
wyciwyg:// documents without proper same domain policy checks through the
use of HTTP 302 redirects. This enables the attacker to steal sensitive
data displayed on dynamically generated pages; perform cache poisoning; and
execute own code or display own content with URL bar and SSL certificate
data of the attacked page (URL spoofing++). (CVE-2007-3656)
Internet Explorer calls registered URL protocols without escaping quotes
and may be used to pass unexpected and potentially dangerous data to the
application that registers that URL Protocol. (CVE-2007-3670)
Ronald van den Heetkamp reported that a filename URL containing %00
(encoded null) can cause Firefox to interpret the file extension
differently than the underlying Windows operating system potentially
leading to unsafe actions such as running a program. This is only
accessible locally. (CVE-2007-3285)
An attacker can use an element outside of a document to call an event
handler allowing content to run arbitrary code with chrome
privileges. (CVE-2007-3737)
Ronen Zilberman and Michal Zalewski both reported that it was possible to
exploit a timing issue to inject content into about:blank frames in a
page. When opening a window from a script, it is possible to spoof the
content of the newly opened window's frames within a short time frame,
while the window is loading. (CVE-2007-3089)
Mozilla contributor moz_bug_r_a4 demonstrated that the methods
addEventListener and setTimeout could be used to inject script into another
site in violation of the browser's same-origin policy. This could be used
to access or modify private or valuable information from that other
site. (CVE-2007-3736)
As part of the Firefox 2.0.0.5 update releases Mozilla developers fixed
many bugs to improve the stability of the product. Some of these crashes
that showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and
we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be
exploited to run arbitrary code. Note: Thunderbird shares the browser
engine with Firefox and could be vulnerable if JavaScript were to be
enabled in mail. This is not the default setting and we strongly discourage
users from running JavaScript in mail. Without further investigation we
cannot rule out the possibility that for some of these an attacker might be
able to prepare memory for exploitation through some means other than
JavaScript, such as large images. (CVE-2007-3734, CVE-2007-3735) |

Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey processed certain malformed
JavaScript code. A malicious web page could execute JavaScript code in such
a way that may result in SeaMonkey crashing or executing arbitrary code as
the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2007-0775, CVE-2007-0777)
Several cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey
processed certain malformed web pages. A malicious web page could display
misleading information which may result in a user unknowingly divulging
sensitive information such as a password. (CVE-2006-6077, CVE-2007-0995,
CVE-2007-0996)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey cached web pages on the local disk. A
malicious web page may be able to inject arbitrary HTML into a browsing
session if the user reloads a targeted site. (CVE-2007-0778)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displayed certain web content. A
malicious web page could generate content which could overlay user
interface elements such as the hostname and security indicators, tricking a
user into thinking they are visiting a different site. (CVE-2007-0779)
Two flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey displayed blocked popup windows.
If a user can be convinced to open a blocked popup, it is possible to read
arbitrary local files, or conduct an XSS attack against the user.
(CVE-2007-0780, CVE-2007-0800)
Two buffer overflow flaws were found in the Network Security Services (NSS)
code for processing the SSLv2 protocol. Connecting to a malicious secure

SeaMonkey. (CVE-2007-0008, CVE-2007-0009)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled the "location.hostname" value
during certain browser domain checks. This flaw could allow a malicious web
site to set domain cookies for an arbitrary site, or possibly perform an
XSS attack. (CVE-2007-0981) |
