Ruby on Rails Multiple Vulnerabilities
updated: 2-Jan-10
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rails < 2.2.2, the worst of which leading to the execution of arbitrary SQL statements.

A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to a vulnerable application, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary SQL statements or a circumvention of access control. A remote attacker could also conduct session fixation attacks to hijack a user's session or bypass the CSRF protection mechanism, or furthermore conduct Cross-Site Scripting attacks or forge a digest via multiple attempts.

Upgrade to the latest version.

Hewlett-Packard OpenView Data Protector Backup Client Service Buffer Overflow
updated: 2-Jan-10
Hewlett-Packard OpenView Data Protector contains a flaw within the backup client service daemon (OmniInet.exe), which binds to TCP port 5555.

Authentication Bypass and File Manipulation in Sitecore Staging Module
updated: 2-Jan-10
The Staging Webservice (normally found in "/sitecore modules/staging/service/api.asmx") used for transmitting files between the Sitecore Master and Slave Server is vulnerable to authentication bypass.

An attacker is able to upload a shell, modify or delete sensitive data or gain the whole source code of the application. Furthermore it is possible to retrieve directory listings of directories of the whole server and the webroot. All these actions are performed with the rights of the webserver user. One tested server allowed us to compromise the whole server by uploading a shell into the webroot.

Sitecore Staging Module <= v5.4.0 rev.080625 is affected. Upgrade to the latest version.

Cisco ASA <= 8.x VPN SSL module Clientless URL-list Control Bypass
updated: 2-Jan-10
Cisco VPN SSL Clientless lets administrators define rules to specific targets within the private network that WebVPN users will be able to access. These specific targets are published using links in VPN SSL home page. These links (URL) are protected (obfuscated) using a ROT13 substitution and converting ASCII characters to hexadecimal.

An user with a valid account and without "URL entry" can access any internal/external resource simply taken an URL, encrypt with ROT 13, convert ASCII characters to hexadecimal and appending this string to Cisco VPN SSL URL.

Always set "webtype" ACL and "filter" to block access in Web VPN SSL (not activated by default). Included in Cisco site now.

PasswordManager Pro 6.1 Script Injection Vulnerability
updated: 2-Jan-10
An input validation error was reported in PasswordManager Pro 6.1, which enabled an attacker to perform various web-based attacks.

The processing method for the search function fails to perform proper input validation on the data that is being submitted via HTTP GET. The parameter "searchtext" lacks validation and is therefore vulnerable to script injection. While there is a basic input filtering method in place, it fails to detect more advanced (e.g. encoded) payloads. Other parts of the application might be affected too.

Upgrade to a safer version.

OpenSSL Multiple Vulnerabilities
updated: 2-Jan-10
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in OpenSSL < 0.9.8l-r2, that might allow remote attackers to conduct multiple attacks, including the injection of arbitrary data into encrypted byte streams.

A remote unauthenticated attacker, acting as a Man in the Middle, could inject arbitrary plain text into a TLS session, possibly leading to the ability to send requests as if authenticated as the victim. A remote attacker could furthermore send specially crafted DTLS packages to a service using OpenSSL for DTLS support, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service. Also, a remote attacker might be able to create rouge certificates, facilitated by a MD2 collision. NOTE: The amount of computation needed for this attack is still very large.

Upgrade to the latest version.

updated: 2-Jan-10
PHP, an open source scripting language, suffers from several bugs that may pose a security risk.

Issues have been discovered in several API functions, issues include buffer overflows, near null reads/writes, arbitrary memory read and an off-by-one issue. Some of the issues have been previously reported in older versions of PHP but they either have not been fixed or they were re-introduced in a later time. The issues have been discovered in both core and, in some cases, PECL functions/classes/methods.
