UConnect 8.4AN/RA3/RA4 are vehicle-based infotainment systems. UConnect systems are integrated in certain makes of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles.

The UConnect infotainment system allowed an unauthenticated connection from other access points on the Sprint Network. An attacker could issue commands to other components within the vehicle through the infotainment system. (more…)

Ilja van Sprundel, an IOActive security researcher, discovered several issues in the way the libXfont library handles the responses it receives from XFS servers. Mr. van Sprundel has worked with X.Org’s security team to analyze, confirm, and fix these issues. Most of these issues stem from libXfont trusting the font server to send valid protocol data and not verifying that the values will not overflow or cause other damage.

This code is commonly called from the X server when an X Font Server is active in the font path, so it may be running in a setuid-root process, depending on the X server in use. Exploits of this path can be used by a local, authenticated user to attempt to raise privileges, or by a remote attacker who can control the font server to try to execute code with the privileges of the X server.

Attackers can steal Facebook access tokens to impersonate Facebook users and perform malicious actions that include, but are not limited to, posting content on behalf of users and accessing friend lists. (more…)

A non-privileged use could cause a local Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition by triggering a kernel panic through a malformed ELF executable. (more…)

The WeMo devices connect to the Internet using the STUN/TURN protocol. This gives users remote control of the devices and allows them to perform firmware updates from anywhere in the world. A generated GUID is the primary source of access control.

WeMo also uses a GPG-based, encrypted firmware distribution scheme to maintain device integrity during updates. Unfortunately, attackers can easily bypass most of these features due to the way they are currently implemented in the WeMo product line. The command for performing firmware updates is initiated over the Internet from a paired device. Also, firmware update notices are delivered through an RSS-like mechanism to the paired device, rather than the WeMo device itself, which is distributed over a non-encrypted channel. As a result, attackers can easily push firmware updates to WeMo users by spoofing the RSS feed with a correctly signed firmware. (more…)

While performing a routine world-writable file scan, one of IOActive’s consultants discovered that the Steam Client for Mac OS X creates world-writable shell scripts when installing games. (more…)
