A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in tomcat5.
Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.35, 6.x before 6.0.34, and 7.x before
7.0.23 uses an inefficient approach for handling parameters, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
via a request that contains many parameters and parameter values.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the IAX2 channel driver of Asterisk.
To exploit this vulneability the followin paramters must be matched:
1. The setting mohinterpret=passthrough must be set on the end placing the call
on hold.
2. A call must be established.
3. The call is placed on hold without a suggested music-on-hold class name.
When these conditions are true, Asterisk will attempt to use an invalid pointer
to a music-on-hold class name. Use of the invalid pointer will either cause a
crash or the music-on-hold class name will be garbage.
Updated packages are now available.

|
|
|
Lotus Quickr ActiveX control as part of Lotus Domino is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page that passes an overly long argument to the Attachment_Times() or Import_Times() insecure method, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the victim's browser to crash.
A fix that addresses this issue has been published.

Updates are available now.
|
|
|
Tftpd32 is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending a specially-crafted DHCP Discover packet, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to become unresponsive. A hotfix isn't available yet.
|
|
|
A vulnerability has been identified in Citrix XenApp that could result in a Denial-of-Service.
This vulnerability is present in all versions of Citrix XenApp, formerly known as Presentation Server, up to and including version 6.5.
In order to trigger this vulnerability, an attacker would need to be able to directly access the XenApp server.
A hotfix has been released to address this issue.
|
|
|
It was discovered that sudo misparses network masks used in Host and Host_List stanzas. This allows the execution of commands on hosts,
where the user would not be allowed to run the specified command.
An off-by-one error in libxml2 might result in the execution of arbitrary code.
Updated packages are available now.
|
|
|
The Seagate BlackArmor network attached storage device contain a static php file used to reset the administrator password. A remote unauthenticated attacker with access to the device's management web server can directly access the webpage to reset the administrator password using a specific URL. It's recommended to restrict network access to the Seagate BlackArmor network attached storage devices system web interface and other devices using open protocols like HTTP because a patch isn't available yet.
|
|
|
A flaw was found in the way bind-dyndb-ldap handled LDAP query errors. If a
remote attacker was able to send DNS queries to a named server that is
configured to use bind-dyndb-ldap, he could trigger such an error with a
DNS query leveraging bind-dyndb-ldap's insufficient escaping of the LDAP
base DN (distinguished name). This would result in an invalid LDAP query
that named would retry in a loop, preventing it from responding to other
DNS queries.
New packets are available.

The HP Business Service Management (HPBSM) application contains a remote code execution vulnerability.
HPBSM uses the JBOSS application server. In the default configuration, HPBSM contains open ports that may be accessed by an unauthenticated attacker. The attacker can upload a jsp-shell as a .war file and have the JBOSS application server deploy it as a service. In the default configuration, this attacker shell will run with SYSTEM privileges. Due to this, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to deploy a backdoor shell with SYSTEM privileges. Workarounds are available, but currently no patch.
