Wireshark Multiple Vulnerabilities
updated: 4-Jul-09
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark < 1.0.8 which allow for Denial of Service (application crash) or remote code execution.

A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark or by enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file which can trigger a Denial of Service (application crash or excessive CPU and memory usage) and possibly allow for the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark.

Upgrade to the latest version.

HP Network Node Manager rping Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
updated: 4-Jul-09
A stack based buffer overflow vulnerability exists within the 'rping' application of HP Network Node Manager 7.53 for Linux.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected service.

Multiple Vendor WebKit Error Handling Use After Free Vulnerability
updated: 14-Jun-09
A memory corruption vulnerability was reported in WebKit browser engine, when JavaScript code is used to set a certain property of an HTML tag within a web page. When JavaScript code sets this property, child elements of the tag are freed. However, when an error in the remaining HTML is encountered, these previously freed tag values are referenced. The freed memory is then treated as a C++ object, which can lead to attacker controlled values being used as function pointers.

WebKit is used by multiple applications, including Google Chrome and Apple Safari (including Safari on the iPhone): Google Chrome 1.0.154.53, Safari 3.2.1 (5525.27.1), and Safari 3.1.1 running on iPhone 2.2.1 (5525.27.1).

Adobe Reader and Acrobat FlateDecode Integer Overflow
updated: 14-Jun-09
An integer overflow vulnerability was reported in Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat PDF reader 7.1.0, 8.1.3, 9.0.0 and prior, when parsing a FlateDecode filter inside a PDF file.

FlateDecode is a filter for data compressed with zlib deflate compression method. Several parameters can be specified for the FlateDecode filter. Those values are used in an arithmetic operation that calculates the number of bytes to allocate for a heap buffer. This calculation can overflow, which results in an undersized heap buffer being allocated. This buffer is then overflowed with data decompressed from the FlateDecode stream. This leads to a heap-based buffer overflow that can result in arbitrary code execution.

Upgrade to the latest version.

Apple QuickTime Image Description Atom Sign Extension Memory Corruption
updated: 7-Jun-09
When the data format field (offset 4 of the sample description table extension) is 'RVZA' (Apple Video), it is possible to trigger a sign extension vulnerability which leads to a buffer underflow in Apple QuickTime prior to 7.6.2.

By writing to memory regions below the buffer's VA, An attacker may overwrite crucial data such as function pointers, flags, heap structures and so forth. Doing so may allow an attacker to alter the normal control flow of the application and execute arbitrary code.
A simple attack vector would be to lure the victim to browse to a web site controlled by the attacker, which serves a malicious QuickTime file that exploits this vulnerability.

Upgrade to a safer version.

Apple CUPS IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED Handling null pointer Vulnerability
updated: 7-Jun-09
A flaw has been identified in CUPS, when handling the 'IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED' tag, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a remote pre-authentication denial of service.

This flaw was fixed in Mac OS X 10.5.7 by updating CUPS to 1.3.10. Apple intends to fix it on Mac OS X 10.4 in a future update. All CUPS users should upgrade the software to 1.3.10.

Apple Terminal xterm Resize Escape Sequence Memory Corruption
updated: 7-Jun-09
Apple OS X was reported containing a vulnerability when handling of 'CSI[4' xterm window resizing escape code. When a very low negative value for (x, y) size is set, an integer overflow occurs resulting in a memory corruption. This can be further leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the logged in user.

Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.

Apple iTunes Multiple Protocol Handler Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
updated: 7-Jun-09
A flaw was reported in the URL handlers associated with Apple iTunes. When processing URLs via the protocol handlers "itms", "itmss", "daap", "pcast", and "itpc" an exploitable stack overflow occurs. Successful exploitation can lead to a remote system compromise under the credentials of the currently logged in user.

Apple Quicktime PICT Opcode 0x71 Heap Overflow Vulnerability
updated: 7-Jun-09
Apple Quicktime contains a flaw in the parsing of PICT files in QuickTime.qts. While processing data for opcode 0x71 QuickTime trusts a value contained in the file and makes an allocation accordingly. By providing a malicious value this buffer can be undersized and subsequently can be overflowed leading to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user running QuickTime.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.

Apple QuickTime Jpeg2000 Marker Size Heap Overflow Vulnerability
updated: 7-Jun-09
Apple Quicktime contains a flaw during the parsing of malformed Jpen2000 image files. A field is read directly from the file and used to allocate memory for a structure. If the value read is smaller then the expected structure size then a memory corruption will occur which can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

Apple QuickTime CRGN Atom Parsing Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
updated: 7-Jun-09
Apple Quicktime contains a flaw during parsing of Clipping Region (CRGN) atom types in a Quicktime Movie file. The application trusts the contents of the atom to contain a terminator during a copy operation. The application will copy user-supplied data into a heap-buffer until it identifies this terminator. This will allow one to overwrite heap-control structures which can be leveraged to achieve code execution from the context of the application.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of QuickTime Player. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must either open a malicious file, or visit a malicious web page.

Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.

Apple Quicktime PICT Opcode 0x8201 Heap Overflow Vulnerability
updated: 7-Jun-09
Apple Quicktime contains a flaw when parsing of PICT files in QuickTime.qts. While processing data for opcode 0x8201 QuickTime trusts a value contained in the file and makes an allocation accordingly. The process then enters a loop whose terminating condition is controlled. The previously allocated heap buffer can be overflowed leading to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user running QuickTime.

Apple QuickTime Packed-bit Decoding Heap Overflow Vulnerability
updated: 7-Jun-09
Apple Quicktime contains a flaw when the application parses a malformed .PSD image. While decoding the columns, rows and channels in the image header, the application trusts a different length for copying than used for allocating it. This results in a heap overflow and can lead to code execution under the context of the current user.

Apple Quicktime Picture Viewer FLC Delta-Encoded Frame Decompression Vulnerability
updated: 7-Jun-09
Apple Quicktime has a flaw during decompression of a delta-encoded chunk. The algorithm to decompress the frame trusts a line specifier when calculating where to write decompressed data. This results in a relative
write using attacker supplied values which can lead to remove code execution under the context of the current user.
