RAPPORTO SU WINDOWS ED EXCHANGE
Una serie di vulnerabilità consentono ogni tipo di nefandezze su Windows e
Exchange. Due sono totalmente sfruttabili da remoto. La prima è un buffer
overflow nel Windows Messenger Service consente di eseguire codice
arbitrario (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-043.asp,
CAN-2003-0717). La soluzione proposta è in primis disabilitare il servizio,
solo in subordine l'applicazione di una patch. Curioso che solo un mese fa
Microsoft, per bocca di Greg Sullivan, dichiarasse che Messenger era solo
una piccola noia, niente di pericoloso
(http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2003-09-24-popups_x.htm). Exchange Server
crasha con messaggi SMTP appositamente malformati: in Exchange 5.5 questo si
traduce in un DoS, mentre in Exchange 2000 si tratta di esecuzione
arbitraria di codice
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-046.asp,
CAN-2003-0714). Altri bachi richiedono invece di fare 'visualizzare' una
pagina a un utente (cosa non molto difficile: basta una mail in HTML).
Windows Help e il Support Center contengono un buffer overflow nel
protocollo HCP, che consente di eseguire codice con i privilegi di
LOCAL_SYSTEM
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-044.asp,
CAN-2003-0711). Inoltre il controllo ActiveX "Local Troubleshooter"
(Tshoot.ocx), teoricamente dedicato ad aiutare gli utenti, contiene una
vulnerabilità che consente di eseguire da remoto codice con il privilegio
dell'utente loggato
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-042.asp). Una
vulnerabilità nientemeno che in Authenticode consente di installare
controlli ActiveX senza l'autorizzazione degli utenti, eseguendo codice
arbitrario (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-041.asp,
CAN-2003-0660). C'è poi un problema di Cross Site Scripting in Outlook Web
Access (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-047.asp,
CAN-2003-0712). Infine, una vulnerabilità nelle ListBox e ComboBox consente
a un utente locale di guadagnare privilegi elevati mediante un buffer
overflow (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-045.asp,
CAN-2003-0659). Dettagli ulteriori possono essere letti sull'advisory del

Title: Plenty of IM Security Holes Left to Plug
Source: IT Management
Date Written: October 31, 2003
Date Collected: November 3, 2003
Instant Messaging (IM) has evolved from cool computer tool for teenagers to
valid business productivity component. The trouble is that IM security has
not yet made the same transition. A study by Osterman Research, based in
Black Diamond, Wash., reveals that while IM currently has a presence in 91
percent of enterprises, only about 26 percent are utilizing an
enterprise-grade IM system That means 65 percent rely on consumer products.
These consumer products generally lack even minimal security standards. Many
consumer IM applications bypass corporate authentication systems, open
vulnerable ports on networks, and provide no means for administrators to
capture the history of the conversation. All of this means that instant
messaging carries a high potential for liability, particularly in heavily
regulated industries, such as financial services and health care. And as IM
usage becomes more and more prevalent, virus writers will increasingly turn
their attention to this new medium. Virtually all IM systems allow for file
transfers that bypass virus checking software. All of these concerns point
out the need for a well communicated IM policy at corporations and, usually,
the implementation of enterprise-strength IM applications.

Title: Sex and the City worms promise illicit thrills
Source: The Register

Two variants of an e-mail worm, Torvil-A and Torvil-B, have been infecting
computers by presenting themselves as a screensaver containing outtakes from
the television show 'Sex and the City,' with adult content. If the worm is
downloaded, it tries to infect public Internet newsgroups and to forward
itself with every e-mail sent from the computer. Graham Cluley, of antivirus
firm Sophos, notes that the worm only affects Windows machines, and is
neither particular harmful nor rapidly spreading. Virus writers often use
such social engineering tactics to make their claims seem more plausible,
and increase the chance of infection. Other viruses have promised pictures
of such famous women as Britney Spears, Anna Kournikova, Avril Lavigne,
Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Minogue to encourage download.

Title: Experts, IT managers say Microsoft should forget bounty, focus on security

While many in law enforcement, such as Peter Townsend of the US Secret
Service, hailed Microsoft's reward for the writers of the Blaster and SoBig
worms as a new step for government and private sector cooperation, many
information technology security managers and experts had mixed reactions.
Connie Sadler, IT security director at Brown University, believes the money
would be better spent hardening the Windows operating system, especially for
the prevention and containment of viruses. Hugh McArthur, of Online
Resources Corporation, doubts the reward's effectiveness, and notes that the
vulnerabilities exploited by malware still exist. Brad Smith, general
counsel for Microsoft, noted at the press conference announcing the reward
program that the money does not address security improvements for Windows,
but shows the company recognizes its need to combat viruses on multiple
fronts. Patrick Gray, former FBI agent and now head of the emergency
response team at Internet Security Systems, agrees, stating "it's time to
stop focusing only on the buggy software and go after the criminal elements
that exploit [it] as well."

Title: Has your phone been 'bluejacked'?
Source: ZDNet
Date Written: November 5, 2003
Date Collected: November 6, 2003
Some people have begun using the Bluetooth feature on personal digital
assistants (PDA) and mobile phones for a new activity called 'bluejacking,'
or sending anonymous text messages to strangers' cell phones. Bluetooth is a
wireless technology designed to enable devices within a few meters of each
other to exchange information. Bluejackers use their phone, or other device,
to get a list of nearby Bluetooth enabled phones. They then name their phone
after the message they want to send, choose a device, and the phone
announces itself to the chosen device. For example, a bluejacker could name
their phone 'nice tweed pants' and send that message to someone nearby. Many
bluejackers practice their hobby for the surprised expressions on their
targets' faces, but some believe the technology could be used for a new type
of spam. People can stop bluejackers by turning off the Bluetooth feature of
their phones.

Title: Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems
Source: Security Focus
Date Written: November 5, 2003
Date Collected: November 6, 2003
Wireless local area networks (WLAN) present a number of security issues. The
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption standard for 802.11 wireless is
inherently weak. An attacker can set up a rogue access point in a coverage
area to gain information from users. Users can easily set up an access point
on a corporate network without the knowledge of a system administrator,
creating a backdoor into otherwise protected systems. Attackers can also
interfere with 802.11 radio signals or use TCP/IP (transmission control
protocol/Internet protocol) to launch a denial of service attack. Intrusion
detection systems (IDS) analyze network traffic to find evidence of
malicious activity and policy violations. A wireless IDS has added
functionality for threats unique to wireless networks. Wireless IDS
typically deploy sensors near wireless access points (WAP), enabling them to
detect the majority of misuse, and even pinpoint the geographic area of an
attacker, offering the possibility of physically intercepting the attacker.
The author cautions that wireless IDS are a new technology, can be
cost-prohibitive for vendor solutions, and require significant human
resources. The author also adds that the benefits likely outweigh the
downsides for many organizations.

Title: Weakness Reported in Wireless Security Protocol
Source: EWeek.com
Date Written: November 6, 2003
Date Collected: November 6, 2003
ICSA Labs researcher Robert Moskowitz has released a paper detailing a
vulnerability in certain implementations of the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
cryptography standard for wireless networks. The implementations at risk use
a "pre-shared key" for passphrase generation. The pre-shared key is aimed
toward inexperienced users with normal home computing equipment. This
feature allows such users to enter a shared passphrase into the system,
which WPA then combines with the network's SSID (service set identifier) to
generate a cryptographic key. Other WPA key management techniques require
more expensive equipment, such as authentication servers. An attacker can
sniff some packets of data then use a dictionary attack offline to guess the
passphrase. Keys generated from phrases of less than 20 characters are
unlikely to deter an attack according to Mr. Moskowitz. With the passphrase,
the attacker can join the network like any other user. Slashdot readers of
the report pointed out that the network model used in Mr. Moskowtiz's report
is far more secure than the typical wireless network deployment, which often
have no cryptographic protection.

Title: 'DDoS' Attacks Still Pose Threat to Internet

Date Collected: November 7, 2003
The distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against the Internet's 13
root domain name servers on October 21, 2002 underscored the vulnerability
of the Internet's infrastructure to cyber attacks. Those attacks briefly
took out seven of the root servers, but users experienced little disruption
because domain information is stored locally and only longer outages would
have a disruptive effect. However, security experts worry that the DNS
system remains at risk because there are still thousands of DoS 'zombies' on
the Internet and easy-to-use, automated attack tools are readily available.
The organizations that operate the root servers have implemented security
measures to help protect the system against future attacks, including adding
bandwidth and distributing the location of a server (anycasting), but
defending against massive, well coordinated DDoS strikes remains difficult.

It appears that a hacker has attempted to insert a Trojan horse program into
the code of the next version of the Linux kernel. The flaw was added to
source code stored in the BitKeeper repository - a database "used only to
provide the latest beta, or test version, of the Linux kernel to users of
the Concurrent Versions System (CVS), a program designed to manage source
code." The Trojan never actually became part of the Linux code, according to
Larry McVoy, primary architect of BitKeeper, and the flaw was discovered
within 24 hours. If the code had been successfully added to the Linux
kernel, it could have elevated an attacker's privileges on any Linux machine
that runs a kernel compiled with the code. The incident raises concerns
about the open source development method, but open source advocates insist
that adequate security checks are in place and the flaw was discovered
before it could do any harm. It is unclear whether law enforcement will be
brought in to investigate the matter.
