Authentication Bypass In Tranax Remote Management Software
Reported: 04.05.10. The Tranax Remote Management Software (RMS) allows for the administration of common Automated Teller Machine (ATM) tasks from a remote location.
To successfully authenticate to a remote ATM, both the serial number and the RMS password are required. An attacker can leverage an implementation flaw that occurs when verifying credentials to craft a request that bypasses all authentication measures. The attacker could then perform remote management tasks with invalid credentials.
The RMS interface is enabled, by default, on a typical ATM installation. (more…)
SQL Injection and Cross-site Scripting at www.courts.wa.gov
Discovered: 03.18.10. Reported: 03.23.10. The formID parameter at http://www.courts.wa.gov/forms/ is vulnerable to SQL injection. The searchTerms parameter at http://www.courts.wa.gov/search/index.cfm is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks. Exploiting these vulnerabilities would likely expose sensitive data and may result in compromise of the affected systems. (more…)

Discovered/Reported to Accoria: December 2008. Date Reported to US-Cert: March 1, 2010. The Accoria Web Server 1.4.7 for x86 Solaris exhibits multiple vulnerabilities, including cross-site scripting, directory traversal, and format string errors. (more…)
Mach Exception Handling Privilege Escalation
Discovered: 01.05.10. Mach exception handling suffers from a vulnerability that allows an attacker to gain access to the memory of a suid process (set user identifier). Due to a vulnerability that is similar to CVE-2006-4392 (found by Dino Dai Zovi of Matasano Security), it is possible for a suid process to inherit the Mach exception ports of the parent. (more…)

doc.export* Methods Allow Arbitrary File Creation
Discovered: 07.13.09. Several JavaScript methods of the Document Object do not honor the Privileged Context and Safe Path settings. IOActive was able to execute certain privileged JavaScript methods that can be used to create arbitrary files and folders on a targeted file system. (more…)
Recursive Stack Overflow in ClamAV
Reported: 10.30.08. Patched: 12.01.08. Disclosed: 06.09.0. ClamAV’s JPEG parser contains code that recursively checks thumbnails, if they are included. Since the thumbnails can be JPEGs, there is no limit to the amount of recursions that can occur. This can lead to stack overflows. (more…)
Heap Corruption in Tor
Discovered: January 2009. Reported: 01.20.09. Disclosed: 06.08.09. There is a potential heap corruption bug in Tor when escaping data for logging purposes. Only certain deployments are vulnerable, and the bug can be triggered only from certain locales. (more…)
AppleTalk Response Packet Parsing Array Over-indexing Vulnerability
Discovered: 03.03.09. Reported: 03.03.09. Disclosed: 08.05.09. CVE-ID: CVE-2009-2193. The Mac OS X AppleTalk stack contains an array over-indexing vulnerability that, if exploited correctly while AppleTalk is powered on, could lead to a remote system compromise. Even if only partially exploited, it could lead to denial-of-service conditions and cause a kernel panic remotely, effectively shutting down the system. (more…)
