science and technology Packet Storm Advisory 2013-0621 - Facebook Information Disclosure By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 20:56:14 GMT Facebook suffered from an information disclosure vulnerability. If a user uploaded their contacts to Facebook and then proceeded to download their expanded dataset from the DYI (Download Your Information) section, they would receive a file called addressbook.html in their downloaded archive. The addressbook.html is supposed to house the contact information they uploaded. However, due to a flaw in how Facebook implemented this, it also housed contact information from other uploads other users have performed for the same person, provided they had one piece of matching data. This effectively built large dossiers on users and disclosed their information to anyone that knew at least one piece of matching data. Full Article

science and technology Packet Storm Advisory 2013-0819-2 - Adobe ColdFusion 9 Administrative Login Bypass By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 23:15:52 GMT Adobe ColdFusion versions 9.0, 9.0.1, and 9.0.2 do not properly check the "rdsPasswordAllowed" field when accessing the Administrator API CFC that is used for logging in. The login function never checks if RDS is enabled when rdsPasswordAllowed="true". This means that if RDS was not configured, the RDS user does not have a password associated with their username. This means by setting rdsPasswordAllowed to "true", we can bypass the admin login to use the rdsPassword, which in most cases, is blank.

science and technology Packet Storm Advisory 2013-1022-1 - Microsoft Silverlight Invalid Typecast / Memory Disclosure By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 01:03:08 GMT Microsoft Silverlight 5 suffers from invalid typecast and memory disclosure vulnerabilities that, when leveraged together, allow for arbitrary code execution. A memory disclosure vulnerability exists in the public WriteableBitmap class from System.Windows.dll. This class allows reading of image pixels from the user-defined data stream via the public SetSource() method. BitmapSource.ReadStream() allocates and returns byte array and a count of array items as out parameters. These returned values are taken from the input stream and they can be fully controlled by the untrusted code. When returned "count" is greater than "array.Length", then data outside the "array" are used as input stream data by the native BitmapSource_SetSource() from agcore.dll. Later all data can be viewed via the public WriteableBitmap.Pixels[] property. Exploitation details related to these findings were purchased through the Packet Storm Bug Bounty program. Full Article

science and technology Asterisk Project Security Advisory - AST-2018-001 By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 23:02:22 GMT Asterisk Project Security Advisory - The RTP support in Asterisk maintains its own registry of dynamic codecs and desired payload numbers. While an SDP negotiation may result in a codec using a different payload number these desired ones are still stored internally. When an RTP packet was received this registry would be consulted if the payload number was not found in the negotiated SDP. This registry was incorrectly consulted for all packets, even those which are dynamic. If the payload number resulted in a codec of a different type than the RTP stream (for example the payload number resulted in a video codec but the stream carried audio) a crash could occur if no stream of that type had been negotiated. This was due to the code incorrectly assuming that a stream of the type would always exist. Full Article

science and technology Windows UAC Protection Bypass (Via Slui File Handler Hijack) By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Thu, 31 May 2018 20:50:19 GMT This Metasploit module will bypass UAC on Windows 8-10 by hijacking a special key in the Registry under the Current User hive, and inserting a custom command that will get invoked when any binary (.exe) application is launched. But slui.exe is an auto-elevated binary that is vulnerable to file handler hijacking. When we run slui.exe with changed Registry key (HKCU:SoftwareClassesexefileshellopencommand), it will run our custom command as Admin instead of slui.exe. The module modifies the registry in order for this exploit to work. The modification is reverted once the exploitation attempt has finished. The module does not require the architecture of the payload to match the OS. If specifying EXE::Custom your DLL should call ExitProcess() after starting the payload in a different process.

science and technology VMware Host VMX Process COM Class Hijack Privilege Escalation By packetstormsecurity.com Published On :: Mon, 25 Mar 2019 16:02:25 GMT The VMX process (vmware-vmx.exe) process configures and hosts an instance of VM. As is common with desktop virtualization platforms the VM host usually has privileged access into the OS such as mapping physical memory which represents a security risk. To mitigate this the VMX process is created with an elevated integrity level by the authentication daemon (vmware-authd.exe) which runs at SYSTEM. This prevents a non-administrator user opening the process and abusing its elevated access. Unfortunately the process is created as the desktop user which results in the elevated process sharing resources such as COM registrations with the normal user who can modify the registry to force an arbitrary DLL to be loaded into the VMX process. Affects VMware Workstation Windows version 14.1.5 (on Windows 10). Also tested on VMware Player version 15. Full Article
