XSS in IBM WebSphere Portal & Lotus WCM
updated: 25-Apr-10
Certain cross site scripting vulnerabilities were identified in an IBM Websphere Portal Server and Lotus Web Content Management deployment.

The login page takes the query string from the request URL and embeds it into the HTML response as the value of a form field named success.

An attacker can inject script into a URL pointing at the vulnerable page, and attack system users by sending it to them. Users, who follow the link, will be attacked with the injected script.

Install the patch from IBM.

Multiple Vendor NOS Microsystems getPlus Downloader Input Validation Vulnerability
updated: 25-Apr-10
An input validation vulnerability was reported in NOS Microsystems's getPlus Download Manager 1.5.2.35, as used by Adobe and potentially other vendors, could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of the domain used to download and execute applications from. The vulnerable code always assumes that the domain being validated is a subdomain, which can lead to a logic error when comparing the valid domain and the requested domain.

Install the update from Adobe.

Backdoor and Vulnerabilities in Xerox WorkCentre Printers Web Interface
updated: 25-Apr-10
Xerox WorkCentre 5665/5675/5687 version 21.120.39.000 contains 2 vulnerabilities.

There is a script named "YoUgoT_It.php" that creates the correct checksum for any folder. By simply calling the script with the folder name as argument, an attacker can access any folder.

Besides, in multiple instances, when a password is required to access certain pages, the developers seemed to forget the vital "die()" or "exit()"
statement after the redirect. This allows an attacker access to multiple pages that would require authentication.

Follow the solution from vendor.

SphereCMS Blind SQL Injection Vulnerability
updated: 19-Feb-10
The archive page of SphereCMS 1.1 alpha is vulnerable to SQL injection. The GET variable, namely 'view', is not sanitized correctly in the SQL query. This hole can be used for extracting admin password.

The parameters must be sanitized using the context sensitive sanitizing function provided by MySQL (mysql_real_escape_string), instead of manual sanitizing which is usually error prone.

Cross Site Scripting on Portwise SSL VPN
updated: 19-Feb-10
The Portwise SSL-VPN v4.6 portal login page is vulnerable to cross site scripting.

An attacker may be able to cause execution of malicious scripting code in the browser of a user who clicks on a link to a Portwise Portal-based site. Such code would run within the security context of the target domain. This type of attack can result in non-persistent defacement of the target site, or the redirection of confidential information (i.e.: session IDs) to unauthorized third parties.

RealNetworks RealPlayer 11 HTTP Chunked Encoding Integer Overflow Vulnerability
updated: 19-Feb-10
An integer overflow vulnerability was reported in RealPlayer 11, when handling of the 'chunked'
Transfer-Encoding method.

This method breaks the file the server is sending into 'chunks'. For each chunk, the server first sends the length of the chunk in hexadecimal, followed by the chunk data. This is repeated until there are no more chunks. The server then sends a chunk length of zero (0) indicating the end of the transfer. When processing these chunks, an integer overflow occurs, which results in a heap overflow. This leads to the execution of arbitrary code.
