Summary of Security Items from January 12 through January 18, 2006

Released
Jan 19, 2006
Document ID
SB06-019

The CISA Vulnerability Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database (NVD) in the past week. NVD is sponsored by CISA. In some cases, the vulnerabilities in the bulletin may not yet have assigned CVSS scores. Please visit NVD for updated vulnerability entries, which include CVSS scores once they are available.

Vulnerabilities are based on the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) vulnerability naming standard and are organized according to severity, determined by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) standard. The division of high, medium, and low severities correspond to the following scores:

  • High: vulnerabilities with a CVSS base score of 7.0–10.0
  • Medium: vulnerabilities with a CVSS base score of 4.0–6.9
  • Low: vulnerabilities with a CVSS base score of 0.0–3.9

Entries may include additional information provided by organizations and efforts sponsored by CISA. This information may include identifying information, values, definitions, and related links. Patch information is provided when available. Please note that some of the information in the bulletin is compiled from external, open-source reports and is not a direct result of CISA analysis. 

The US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin provides a summary of new and updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, and malicious code that have recently been openly reported. Information in the Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation of open source and US-CERT vulnerability information. As such, the Cyber Security Bulletin includes information published by sources outside of US-CERT and should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis or as an official report of US-CERT. Although this information does reflect open source reports, it is not an official description and should be used for informational purposes only. The intention of the Cyber Security Bulletin is to serve as a comprehensive directory of pertinent vulnerability reports, providing brief summaries and additional sources for further investigation.

Vulnerabilities

The tables below summarize vulnerabilities that have been reported by various open source organizations or presented in newsgroups and on web sites. Items in bold designate updates that have been made to past entries. Entries are grouped by the operating system on which the reported software operates, and vulnerabilities which affect both Windows and Unix/ Linux Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems table. Note, entries in each table are not necessarily vulnerabilities in that operating system, but vulnerabilities in software which operate on some version of that operating system.

Entries may contain additional US-CERT sponsored information, including Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) numbers, National Vulnerability Database (NVD) links, Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) values, Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL) definitions, or links to US-CERT Vulnerability Notes. Metrics, values, and information included in the Cyber Security Bulletin which has been provided by other US-CERT sponsored programs, is prepared, managed, and contributed by those respective programs. CVSS values are managed and provided by the US-CERT/ NIST National Vulnerability Database. Links are also provided to patches and workarounds that have been provided by the product’s vendor.

The Risk levels are defined below:

High - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “High” severity if they have a CVSS base score of 7.0-10.0.

Medium - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “Medium” severity if they have a base CVSS score of 4.0-6.9.

Low - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “Low” severity if they have a CVSS base score of 0.0-3.9.

Note that scores provided prior to 11/9/2005 are approximated from only partially available CVSS metric data. Such scores are marked as "Approximated" within NVD. In particular, the following CVSS metrics are only partially available for these vulnerabilities and NVD assumes certain values based on an approximation algorithm: AccessComplexity, Authentication, ConfImpact of 'partial', IntegImpact of 'partial', AvailImpact of 'partial', and the impact biases.

Wireless Trends & Vulnerabilities

This section contains wireless vulnerabilities, articles, and malicious code
that has been identified during the current reporting period.



General Trends

This section contains brief summaries and links to articles which discuss or present
information pertinent to the cyber security community.

  • The number of ‘classic’ viruses dropped dramatically in 2005 compared to worms and Trojans, reports Panda Software: According to data released by PandaLabs, less than one percent of the new threats detected in 2005 were viruses, however, threats like Trojans and worms still had a significant presence compared to the previous year. The new threats detected in 2005 included: 42 percent Trojans, 26 percent bots, 11 percent backdoor Trojans, 8 percent dialers, 6 percent worms and 3 percent were types of adware/spyware.
  • Exploit for Vulnerability in VERITAS NetBackup Volume Manager Daemon: US-CERT is aware of a public exploit for a vulnerability in VERITAS NetBackup Volume Manager Daemon (vmd).
  • Malicious Website Exploiting Sun Java Plug-in Vulnerability; US-CERT is aware of an active malicious website that exploits a vulnerability in the Sun Java JRE.
  • Mac users 'too smug' over security:
    MacOS may not have the gaping holes that let viruses spread,but worms, spyware and keyloggers are out there. They can't spread as easily, and most would only be installed by a careless user clicking "Accept" on a dodgy install dialog, but the regular stream of security fixes from Apple's software update service makes it clear that there are real dangers.
  • Phishers casts their nets wider: According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) a sharp rise in the number of phishing attacks, combined with an increased sophistication among attackers was reported. In its monthly report for November 2005 the APWG said that reported attacks grew to 16,882 from 15,820, the third month of growth after a slowdown over the summer.

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.
