Summary of Security Items from February 23 through March 1, 2006
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.
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.
- Trojan targets basic Java phones: According to Kaspersky Labs, a Trojan has been created that can infect mobiles phones running Java applications. RedBrowser-A infects smart phones but can also infect any mobile phone capable of running Java (J2ME) applications. The mobile malware poses as a program that supposedly allows surfers to visit WAP sites without using a WAP connection.
- New virus closes PC/Windows Mobile gap: The Mobile Antivirus Researchers Association claims to have detected the first worm that can jump from a PC to a Windows Mobile-powered wireless device.
The 'Crossover' worm nests itself in a directory on a Windows PC where it will automatically activate once the user connects a Windows Mobile device using Microsoft ActiveSync. This is a a Proof of Concept designed to show off its features but not cause any actual harm.
- Is your cell phone due for an antivirus shot? Programs that fight viruses have become a necessary evil on Windows PCs but now the antivirus industry is turning its attention to mobile phones. However it is running into reluctance from cell service providers, who aren't so sure that the handset is the best place to handle security.

General Trends This section contains brief summaries and links to articles which discuss or present information pertinent to the cyber security community.
- Kits help phishing sites proliferate: According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group's report for December, the number of phishing e-mails fell between November and December last year, and the number of fraudulent Web sites increased from 4,630 to 7,197, which is a record. Security companies believe the increasing number of phishing Web sites can be attributed to the easy availability of phishing kits, tools that can be used by relatively nontechnical people to create and manage multiple phishing sites. According to Internet security company Websense, one of the most popular phishing kits is called Rock Phish Kit, which the company said was first seen last November.
- Politically motivated attacks soar in 2005: According to an independent report, web server attacks and website defacements rose 16 per cent last year. Zone-h, the security firm best known for its defacement archive, recorded 495,000 web attacks globally in 2004, up from 393,000 in 2003.
The largest category in 2005 was mass defacements (371,000). More targeted attacks on individual servers numbered 124,000. There was also an increase in politically motivated attacks. A growing number of these attacks were launched from Muslim countries, especially Turkey; however, the majority of attacks launched in 2004 originated in Brazil. The most active defacer last year was Iskorpitx, from Turkey, who's bagged 90,000 websites over the last two years. - Keyloggers on the rise:
Keylogging use for illegal activity is continuing to rise. The New York Times has an article discussing the growing trend of keyloggers used by criminals to steal banking information from unwary users. As the news coverage of keyloggers becomes more mainstream, the magnitude of the growing problem becomes more apparent. - 'Phishing' Season For Tax Scammers: According to Government officials, they are currently seeing one widespread IRS-themed e-mail scam a week. Internet security experts expect this to escalate as the April 15 deadline nears. E-mails that appear to be from the Internal Revenue Service are really identity theft scams designed to collect personal financial information.
- Malware moves up, goes commercial: While in the process of researching a new trojan, engineers at Panda Software uncovered evidence that led them to a web site selling custom-built viruses. For a price of only $990 (U.S.), a user gets his or her own trojan horse. This comes complete with tech support. If the file is discovered, the designer provides a guarantee to alter it so that it may continue to avoid detection in the face of updated antivirus software.

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.
