Cyber Security Bulletin SB05-166archive

Summary of Security Items from June 8 through June 14, 2005

Information in the US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation and includes information published by outside sources, so the information should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis. Software vulnerabilities are categorized in the appropriate section reflecting the operating system on which the vulnerability was reported; however, this does not mean that the vulnerability only affects the operating system reported since this information is obtained from open-source information.

This bulletin provides a summary of new or updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, viruses, and trojans. Updates to vulnerabilities that appeared in previous bulletins are listed in bold text. The text in the Risk column appears in red for vulnerabilities ranking High. The risks levels applied to vulnerabilities in the Cyber Security Bulletin are based on how the "system" may be impacted. The Recent Exploit/Technique table contains a "Workaround or Patch Available" column that indicates whether a workaround or patch has been published for the vulnerability which the script exploits.

Wireless

Vulnerabilities

The table below summarizes vulnerabilities that have been identified, even if they are not being exploited. Complete details about patches or workarounds are available from the source of the information or from the URL provided in the section. CVE numbers are listed where applicable. Vulnerabilities that affect both Windows and Unix Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems section.

Note: All the information included in the following tables has been discussed in newsgroups and on web sites.

The Risk levels defined below are based on how the system may be impacted:

Note: Even though a vulnerability may allow several malicious acts to be performed, only the highest level risk will be defined in the Risk column.

  • High - A high-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder to immediately gain privileged access (e.g., sysadmin or root) to the system or allow an intruder to execute code or alter arbitrary system files. An example of a high-risk vulnerability is one that allows an unauthorized user to send a sequence of instructions to a machine and the machine responds with a command prompt with administrator privileges.
  • Medium - A medium-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder immediate access to a system with less than privileged access. Such vulnerability will allow the intruder the opportunity to continue the attempt to gain privileged access. An example of medium-risk vulnerability is a server configuration error that allows an intruder to capture the password file.
  • Low - A low-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will provide information to an intruder that could lead to further compromise attempts or a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. It should be noted that while the DoS attack is deemed low from a threat potential, the frequency of this type of attack is very high. DoS attacks against mission-critical nodes are not included in this rating and any attack of this nature should instead be considered to be a "High" threat.

Wireless

The section below contains wireless vulnerabilities, articles, and viruses/trojans identified during this reporting period.

  • Quantum cryptography network gets wireless link : The world's first quantum encryption computer network has been expanded to include a wireless link that uses quantum communications codes. Quantum cryptography guarantees security by encoding information as polarized photons which can be sent down a fibre optic cable or through the air. Intercepting these photons disturbs their quantum state, alerting both sides to an eavesdropper's presence. Source: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7484
  • Phishing: The new wireless danger for business travelers: Wireless devices make users targets for industrial espionage, fraud, and other crimes. Hackers are no longer intercepting travelers` wireless connections just to intercept e-mails. They are using 'access point phishing' which sets up a bogus log-in screen for a legitimate wireless hotspot. When the victim tunes in to it to start communicating, the hacker sends out viruses that bring back the personal information they are looking for. Source: http://www.traveldailynews.com/new.asp?newid=22997&subcategory_id=95.
  • Top wireless cities are Seattle and San Francisco: Intel ranked cities based on the number of commercial or free "Wi-Fi" points from January to April 15 in the 100 largest urban regions in the United States. According to their ranking, Seattle and San Francisco are the most "unwired cities" in America. Also included in the top ten: Austin, Texas; Portland, Ore.; Toledo, Ohio; Atlanta; Denver; the Research Triangle area of North Carolina; Minneapolis; and Orange County, Calif. Source: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=
    ZEJVZKACCIQ0YQSNDBCCKH0CJUMEKJVN?articleID=164300934
    .
  • Don't do wireless security in isolation: Corporations should think of wireless security as an add on to their existing security architecture, not as a separate entity, either integrating the new wireless piece into the overall company security policy, if one already exists, or taking the opportunity to create a plan for the entire IT infrastructure. Source: http://www.techworld.com/security/features/index.cfm?FeatureID=1502
  • Research Shows Bluetooth Can Be Hacked In Milliseconds: Bluetooth devices including phones, PDAs, and personal computers can be hacked even when Bluetooth's security is enabled, a pair of researchers said this week, letting attackers eavesdrop on wireless networks, even charge mobile calls to another user's phone. Source: http://www.securitypipeline.com/news/164301974

Wireless Vulnerabilities

  • Linux Kernel Bluetooth Signed Buffer Index vulnerability: A vulnerability has been reported in the 'bluez_sock_create()' function when a negative integer value is submitted, which could let a malicious user execute arbitrary code. (For more information, see entry in the Unix / Linux Systems Table)

Trends

  • Hashing exploit threatens digital security: Cryptographers have found a way to snip a digital signature from one document and attach it to a fraudulent document without invalidating the signature and giving the fraud away. The development means that attackers could potentially forge legal documents, load certified software with bogus code, or turn a digitally-signed letter of recommendation into one that authorizes access to private information. Source: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7519&feedId=online-news_rss20.
  • Firms warned they may be targets of Trojan spies: After police discovered one of the world's largest industrial espionage and hacking operations, they are warning that UK businesses should take urgent steps to check their systems are secure. Senior directors of at least 15 leading businesses in Israel are under investigation for hiring private detective agencies to obtain confidential documents from rivals' computer systems. Operation Horse Race, an international investigation by police in Israel, Germany, the US and the UK, has led to the arrest of 22 suspects in Israel and London. Source: http://81.144.183.106/Articles/Article.aspx?liArticleID=210254&PrinterFriendly=true.
  • Bank Mergers Provide Opportunity for Phishing: Bank mergers are being used by fraudsters as an opportunity to craft customized phishing scams timed to transitions between the banks' online systems, hoping that customer awareness of mergers will bring more bites on "bait" emails. Wachovia Bank issued a warning about phishing emails "designed to capitalize on our merger activities. Source: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2005/06/09/bank_mergers_provide_opportunity_for_phishing.html11.
  • W32/Mytob Virus: US-CERT has received reports of three new variants of the W32/Mytob virus. These variants, 'W32/Mytob.DP', 'W32/Mytob.DV', and 'W32/Mytob.DY', propagate via email and contain backdoor functionality. Source: http://www.us-cert.gov/current/.
  • Exploitation of ASN.1 Vulnerabilities: US-CERT has received reports indicating an increase in the scanning for and exploitation of systems affected by one or more vulnerabilities in the Microsoft ASN.1 Library (MSASN1.DLL). These vulnerabilities are caused by the way that certain ASN.1 length values and bit strings are decoded. By sending specially crafted ASN.1 data, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges and gain complete control of a vulnerable system. MS04-007 explains how an attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities. Source: http://www.us-cert.gov/current/.
  • Skulls Trojan poses as security code: Virus writers have created mobile phone malware that poses as a pirated copy of F-Secure's mobile anti-virus software. Skulls-L is a minor modification of the Skulls-C Trojan. Source: http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11207.

Viruses/Trojans

Top Ten Virus Threats

A list of high threat viruses, as reported to various anti-virus vendors and virus incident reporting organizations, has been ranked and categorized in the table below. For the purposes of collecting and collating data, infections involving multiple systems at a single location are considered a single infection. It is therefore possible that a virus has infected hundreds of machines but has only been counted once. With the number of viruses that appear each month, it is possible that a new virus will become widely distributed before the next edition of this publication. To limit the possibility of infection, readers are reminded to update their anti-virus packages as soon as updates become available. The table lists the viruses by ranking (number of sites affected), common virus name, type of virus code (i.e., boot, file, macro, multi-partite, script), trends (based on number of infections reported since last week), and approximate date first found.

Rank
Common Name
Type of Code
Trend
Date
Description
1
Mytob.C Win32 Worm Stable March 2004 A mass-mailing worm with IRC backdoor functionality which can also infect computers vulnerable to the Windows LSASS (MS04-011) exploit. The worm will attempt to harvest email addresses from the local hard disk by scanning files.
2
Netsky-P Win32 Worm Stable March 2004 A mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. The worm also tries to spread through various file-sharing programs by copying itself into various shared folders.
3
Netsky-Q Win32 Worm Stable March 2004 A mass-mailing worm that attempts to launch Denial of Service attacks against several web pages, deletes the entries belonging to several worms, and emits a sound through the internal speaker.
4
Zafi-D Win32 Worm Stable December 2004 A mass-mailing worm that sends itself to email addresses gathered from the infected computer. The worm may also attempt to lower security settings, terminate processes, and open a back door on the compromised computer.
5
Netsky-D Win32 Worm Stable March 2004 A simplified variant of the Netsky mass-mailing worm in that it does not contain many of the text strings that were present in NetSky.C and it does not copy itself to shared folders. Netsky.D spreads itself in e-mails as an executable attachment only.
6
Lovgate.w Win32 Worm Stable April 2004 A mass-mailing worm that propagates via by using MAPI as a reply to messages, by using an internal SMTP, by dropping copies of itself on network shares, and through peer-to-peer networks. Attempts to access all machines in the local area network.
7
Zafi-B Win32 Worm Stable June 2004 A mass-mailing worm that spreads via e-mail using several different languages, including English, Hungarian and Russian. When executed, the worm makes two copies of itself in the %System% directory with randomly generated file names.
8
Netsky-Z Win32 Worm Stable April 2004 A mass-mailing worm that is very close to previous variants. The worm spreads in e-mails, but does not spread to local network and P2P and does not uninstall Bagle worm. The worm has a backdoor that listens on port 665.
9
Netsky-B Win32 Worm Stable February 2004 A mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. Also searches drives for certain folder names and then copies itself to those folders.
10
MyDoom-O Win32 Worm Stable July 2004 A mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to generate email messages. It gathers its target email addresses from files with certain extension names. It also avoids sending email messages to email addresses that contain certain strings.
