Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory - SGI developers discovered a remote DoS (Denial of Service) condition in the NFS statd server. rpc.statd did not ignore the SIGPIPE signal which would cause it to shutdown if a misconfigured or malicious peer terminated the TCP connection prematurely.

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory - Herbert Xu discovered that iproute can accept spoofed messages sent via the kernel netlink interface by other users on the local machine. This could lead to a local Denial of Service attack.

The Bastille Hardening System attempts to "harden" or "tighten" the Linux/Unix operating systems. It currently supports Red Hat and Mandrake systems, with support on the way for Debian, SuSE, TurboLinux and HP-UX. We attempt to provide the most secure, yet usable, system possible. Screenshot available here..

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory - Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered two vulnerabilities in scripts included with the vim editor. The two scripts, tcltags and vimspell.sh created temporary files in an insecure manner which could allow a malicious user to execute a symbolic link attack or to create, or overwrite, arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the scripts.

ELOG version 2.5.6 and below remote shell exploit. Includes targets for Slackware, Gentoo, FreeBSD, Mandrake, Fedora Core 1, Debian, Windows XP, and Redhat.

The Bastille Hardening program locks down an operating system, configuring the system for increased security. It currently supports Red Hat, Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise, SuSE, SuSE Enterprise, Mandrake, Debian, and Gentoo, HP-UX, and Apple's Mac OS X. Screenshot available here..

Anomalous Payloadbased Worm Detection and Signature Generation.

Advanced Polymorphic Worms: Evading IDS by Blending with Normal Traffic.

vthrottle is an implementation of an SMTP throttling engine for Sendmail servers, based upon M. Williamson's mechanisms, as described in his 2003 Usenix Security paper. It allows the administrator to control how much email users and hosts may send, hindering the rapid spread of viruses, worms, and spam. Exceptions can be made using a whitelist mechanism, which can be generated manually or with the included tool vmeasure.

This code shows how to send hidden data steganographed into a simulation of common (worm) traffic.

Technical Cyber Security Alert TA07-059A - A worm is exploiting a vulnerability in the telnet daemon (in.telnetd) on unpatched Sun Solaris systems. The vulnerability allows the worm (or any attacker) to log in via telnet (23/tcp) with elevated privileges.

The Visitor Messages add-on for vBulletin version 3.7.3 suffers from cross site scripting and cross site request forgery vulnerabilities. This is a worm exploit that takes advantage of these issues.

Whitepaper called Exploiting Web 2.0, Real Life XSS-Worm.

Technical Cyber Security Alert TA09-088A - US-CERT is aware of public reports indicating a widespread infection of the Conficker worm, which can infect a Microsoft Windows system from a thumb drive, a network share, or directly across a network if the host is not patched with MS08-067.

Whitepaper called Using "ShoutBoxes" to control malicious software.

This Metasploit module exploits the FTP server component of the Sasser worm. By sending an overly long PORT command the stack can be overwritten.

This Metasploit module exploits a format string vulnerability in the LPRng print server. This vulnerability was discovered by Chris Evans. There was a publicly circulating worm targeting this vulnerability, which prompted RedHat to pull their 7.0 release. They consequently re-released it as "7.0-respin".

PHP-Nuke versions 7.0, 8.1 and 8.1.35 wormable remote code execution exploit.

Linksys E-Series unauthenticated remote command execution exploit that leverages the same vulnerability as used in the "Moon" worm.

Proof of concept exploit used by the recent Linksys worm (known as "Moon"). Exploits blind command injection in tmUnblock.cgi.

Some Linksys E-Series Routers are vulnerable to an unauthenticated OS command injection. This vulnerability was used from the so called "TheMoon" worm. There are many Linksys systems that might be vulnerable including E4200, E3200, E3000, E2500, E2100L, E2000, E1550, E1500, E1200, E1000, E900. This Metasploit module was tested successfully against an E1500 v1.0.5.

This Metasploit module exploits a command injection vulnerability on WiFi Pineapples versions 2.0 and below and pineapple versions prior to 2.4. We use a combination of default credentials with a weakness in the anti-csrf generation to achieve command injection on fresh pineapple devices prior to configuration. Additionally if default credentials fail, you can enable a brute force solver for the proof-of-ownership challenge. This will reset the password to a known password if successful and may interrupt the user experience. These devices may typically be identified by their SSID beacons of 'Pineapple5_....'; details derived from the TospoVirus, a WiFi Pineapple infecting worm.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack buffer overflow in fingerd on 4.3BSD. This vulnerability was exploited by the Morris worm in 1988-11-02. Cliff Stoll reports on the worm in the epilogue of The Cuckoo's Egg.

This Metasploit module exploits sendmail's well-known historical debug mode to escape to a shell and execute commands in the SMTP RCPT TO command. This vulnerability was exploited by the Morris worm in 1988-11-02. Cliff Stoll reports on the worm in the epilogue of The Cuckoo's Egg. Currently only cmd/unix/reverse and cmd/unix/generic are supported.

Linux Security Checklist is a perl script that audits a given Linux host and provides recommendations for security enhancements.

A vulnerability is present in AT&T TCP/IP Release 4.0 running on SVR4 systems for both the 386/486 and 3B2 RISC platforms. The problem is in the remote execution server /usr/etc/rexecd and a new version of rexecd is available from AT&T.

HP Security Bulletin - A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the Aries PA-RISC emulation software running on HP-UX IA-64 platforms only. This vulnerability may allow local unauthorized access.
