Security
By Jake Edge
January 2, 2008
Hypertext transfer protocol (http) is the heart of the web, providing the
means to retrieve content from remote servers. It is an unencrypted,
text-based
protocol which allows malicious intermediaries to snoop on and potentially
modify the traffic.
Unfortunately, internet service providers (ISPs) are getting increasingly
bold in manipulating the traffic that they carry. This has lead some to call for
the elimination of http, in favor of encrypted http (aka secure http or
https).
An ISP is perfectly situated to gather an enormous amount of information
about its users, their website preferences and habits (often called
clickstream data). Some have reportedly
been selling some of that data in a thinly-anonymized form to
advertisers and others. As AOL's well-intentioned, but poorly implemented,
release of
search queries showed, it is rather easy to analyze this kind of
data and pierce the anonymity, deriving the specific user.
Another recent ISP trick is to modify a retrieved web page to display other
information – under the control of the ISP – which looks like
it comes from the website itself. Canadian ISP Rogers Internet has been testing a system to add
content to the Google homepage for their customers who are near their
monthly bandwidth limits. There are also plans afoot for ISPs to use
clickstream data to target advertising – though just where those
ads would show up is far from clear.
This kind of manipulation is unlikely to be what internet users expect
– to the extent they think about it all. The model folks tend to use
is that of a phone company; we do not expect them to sell our call records
to the highest bidder, nor do we give them license to modify our calls.
Various telecommunications privacy laws protect that data, but those laws
have not (yet) been applied to internet traffic. In addition, ISPs tend to
have a monopoly or near-monopoly, which restricts alternative,
less-intrusive ISPs from competing.
Fortunately, there are technical solutions possible in the internet realm
that would be difficult or impossible to implement network-wide in the
phone system. Encrypting website traffic will go a long way towards
eliminating this kind of ISP abuse, though it is no panacea. As more of
these kinds of privacy invasions occur, we should see more routine use of
https by websites.
Currently, https is almost exclusively used for e-commerce transactions;
typing in credit card numbers and the like. Authentication via username
and password is another area that sees widespread encrypted pages. Sites
may start to use https for their entire site to combat clickstream and page
rewriting abuse – though there will still be some information leakage
as the ISPs can still see what sites are being visited.
In order to make an https connection, the server must have a certificate
with its public key. Typically those are signed by an authority recognized
by browsers which allows the browser to authenticate that the certificate
belongs to the host visited. Getting signed certificates is a bit
cumbersome, costs some money, and they need to be renewed periodically
– all of which adds up to a headache for a site, especially a small,
non-commercial site, that wants to switch
to using https. Self-signed certificates are an alternative, but because
they are susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks, browsers warn their
users when they receive one.
Another problem with this approach is the extra processing required on the
server to support encrypting each and every request. There is a
non-trivial amount of extra work that must be done per request and cannot
be cached. Sites that wish to avoid the problems that some ISPs are
introducing will just have to bear that cost.
Pushing bits is not very glamorous, but that is really what one hires an
ISP to do. Since they seem to be finding new and exciting ways to
interfere with those bits – Comcast
messing with BitTorrent traffic
for example – internet users will have to find ways to thwart their
schemes and encryption will be a big part of that effort. Using https
site-wide is only one step, other services will also need to be protected
from ISP abuse. What if an ISP started manipulating the results returned
from DNS queries, perhaps routing some to a server they control?

From the original Debian problem report: "In Debian's version of GNU Emacs 22.1+1-2, the `hack-local-variables'
function does not behave correctly when `enable-local-variables' is
set to :safe. The documentation of `enable-local-variables' states
that the value :safe means to set only safe variables, as determined
by `safe-local-variable-p' and `risky-local-variable-p' (and the data
driving them), but Emacs ignores this and instead sets all the local
variables." When this setting (which is not the default) is in effect, opening a hostile file could lead to the execution of arbitrary commands. |

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) |

Linux kernel 2.4.35 and other versions allows local users to send arbitrary

a setuid-root parent process to die, which delivers an attacker-controlled
parent process death signal (PR_SET_PDEATHSIG). (CVE-2007-3848)
Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG)
implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root
users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the

CVE-2007-4670
CVE-2007-4661
|
| Created: | October 23, 2007 |
Updated: | May 19, 2008 |
| Description: |
From the Red Hat advisory:
Various integer overflow flaws were found in the PHP gd extension. A
script that could be forced to resize images from an untrusted source could
possibly allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the apache
user. (CVE-2007-3996)
A previous security update introduced a bug into PHP session cookie
handling. This could allow an attacker to stop a victim from viewing a
vulnerable web site if the victim has first visited a malicious web page
under the control of the attacker, and that page can set a cookie for the
vulnerable web site. (CVE-2007-4670)
A flaw was found in the PHP money_format function. If a remote attacker
was able to pass arbitrary data to the money_format function this could
possibly result in an information leak or denial of service. Note that is
is unusual for a PHP script to pass user-supplied data to the money_format
function. (CVE-2007-4658)
A flaw was found in the PHP wordwrap function. If a remote attacker was
able to pass arbitrary data to the wordwrap function this could possibly
result in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-3998)
A bug was found in PHP session cookie handling. This could allow an
attacker to create a cross-site cookie insertion attack if a victim follows
an untrusted carefully-crafted URL. (CVE-2007-3799)
A flaw was found in handling of dynamic changes to global variables. A
script which used certain functions which change global variables could
be forced to enable the register_globals configuration option, possibly
resulting in global variable injection. (CVE-2007-4659)
An integer overflow flaw was found in the PHP chunk_split function. If a
remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the third argument of
chunk_split they could possibly execute arbitrary code as the apache user.
Note that it is unusual for a PHP script to use the chunk_split function
with a user-supplied third argument. (CVE-2007-4661) |

context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (web
server crash) via an array with many dimensions.
CVE-2007-1395:
Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in index.php allows remote
attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by
injecting arbitrary JavaScript or HTML in a (1) db or (2) table
parameter value followed by an uppercase </SCRIPT> end tag,
which bypasses the protection against lowercase </script>.
CVE-2007-2245:
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the
fieldkey parameter to browse_foreigners.php or (2) certain input
to the PMA_sanitize function.

CVE-2007-3280
|
| Created: | September 25, 2007 |
Updated: | February 1, 2008 |
| Description: |
PostgreSQL 8.1 and probably later and earlier versions, when local trust
authentication is enabled and the Database Link library (dblink) is
installed, allows remote attackers to access arbitrary accounts and execute
arbitrary SQL queries via a dblink host parameter that proxies the
connection from 127.0.0.1. (CVE-2007-3278)
PostgreSQL 8.1 and probably later and earlier versions, when the PL/pgSQL
(plpgsql) language has been created, grants certain plpgsql privileges to
the PUBLIC domain, which allows remote attackers to create and execute
functions, as demonstrated by functions that perform local brute-force
password guessing attacks, which may evade intrusion
detection. (CVE-2007-3279)
The Database Link library (dblink) in PostgreSQL 8.1 implements functions
via CREATE statements that map to arbitrary libraries based on the C
programming language, which allows remote authenticated superusers to map
and execute a function from any library, as demonstrated by using the
system function in libc.so.6 to gain shell access. (CVE-2007-3280) |
