Summary of Security Items from May 25 through May 31, 2005
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. 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.
Information
in the US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation and includes information
published by outside sources, so the information should not be considered the
result of US-CERT analysis. Software vulnerabilities are categorized in the
appropriate section reflecting the operating system on which the vulnerability
was reported; however, this does not mean that the vulnerability only affects
the operating system reported since this information is obtained from
open-source information.
This bulletin
provides a summary of new or updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, viruses,
and trojans. Updates to vulnerabilities that
appeared in previous bulletins are listed in bold
text. The text in the Risk column appears in red for vulnerabilities
ranking High. The risks levels applied to
vulnerabilities in the Cyber Security Bulletin are based on how the "system" may
be impacted. The Recent Exploit/Technique table contains a "Workaround or Patch
Available" column that indicates whether a workaround or patch has been
published for the vulnerability which the script exploits.
name=vulns> face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Vulnerabilities
class=style46>The table belowsummarizes vulnerabilities that have been identified, even if they are not being
exploited. Complete details about patches or workarounds are available from the
source of the information or from the URL provided in the section. CVE numbers
are listed where applicable. Vulnerabilities that affect both
Windows and Unix Operating Systems are included in the Multiple
Operating Systems section.
Note: All the information included in the following tables
has been discussed in newsgroups and on web sites.
The Risk levels
defined below are based on how the system may be impacted:
Note: Even though
a vulnerability may allow several malicious acts to be performed, only the
highest level risk will be defined in the Risk column.
- High - A
high-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder to
immediately gain privileged access (e.g., sysadmin or root) to the system or
allow an intruder to execute code or alter arbitrary system files. An example
of a high-risk vulnerability is one that allows an unauthorized user to send a
sequence of instructions to a machine and the machine responds with a command
prompt with administrator privileges. - Medium - A
medium-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder
immediate access to a system with less than privileged access. Such
vulnerability will allow the intruder the opportunity to continue the attempt
to gain privileged access. An example of medium-risk vulnerability is a server
configuration error that allows an intruder to capture the password
file. - Low - A
low-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will provide information to an
intruder that could lead to further compromise attempts or a Denial of Service
(DoS) attack. It should be noted that while the DoS attack is deemed low from
a threat potential, the frequency of this type of attack is very high. DoS
attacks against mission-critical nodes are not included in this rating and any
attack of this nature should instead be considered to be a "High"
threat.

- EU zombie army leads the world: The European Union leads the world in the number of computers that are controlled remotely by hackers.
Data from email security specialist CipherTrust shows that 26 per cent of all PCs infected in May are located in the EU, compared with 20 per cent in the US and 15 per cent in China. The UK accounted for three per cent of the world's total, with Germany leading Europe at six per cent. Over May an average of 172,000 new PCs were infected each month. Source: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2135706/eu-zombie-army-leads-world. - Bank of America to use two-factor system to beat phishers: In an attempt to reduce identity theft and reduce the threat of phishing attacks, the Bank of America plans to introduce two-factor, two-way authentication to around 13 million online banking customers. Unlike traditional two-factor authentication, the Bank of America's Sitekey approach uses a customer's PC or handheld device as the second-factor hardware device. Technology from security company Passmark takes a "fingerprint" of a customer's computer to verify identification, using HHTP headers, software configurations, hardware settings, IP address and geographic location. Source: http://www.computerweekly.com/Article138764.htm?src=rssNews.
- Identity theft fears most US Citizens: Despite a recent push in identity theft prevention awareness by major organizations and government agencies, 75 percent of US citizens believe that their identity is no more secure than one year ago. Consumers do not believe current and traditional methods of security are good enough to protect them against identity theft. Source: http://www.it-observer.com/articles.php?id=735.

Top Ten Virus Threats
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), approximate date first
found, and brief description.
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Rank | Common Name | Type of Code |
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Trend | Date |
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Description |
1 | Netsky-P | Win32 Worm | Stable | March 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. The worm also tries to spread through various file-sharing programs by copying itself into various shared folders. |
2 | Netsky-Q | Win32 Worm | Stable | March 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that attempts to launch Denial of Service attacks against several web pages, deletes the entries belonging to several worms, and emits a sound through the internal speaker. |
3 | Mytob.C | Win32 Worm | Stable | March 2004 | A mass-mailing worm with IRC backdoor functionality which can also infect computers vulnerable to the Windows LSASS (MS04-011) exploit. The worm will attempt to harvest email addresses from the local hard disk by scanning files. |
4 | Zafi-D | Win32 Worm | Stable | December 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that sends itself to email addresses gathered from the infected computer. The worm may also attempt to lower security settings, terminate processes, and open a back door on the compromised computer. |
5 | Netsky-D | Win32 Worm | Stable | March 2004 | A simplified variant of the Netsky mass-mailing worm in that it does not contain many of the text strings that were present in NetSky.C and it does not copy itself to shared folders. Netsky.D spreads itself in e-mails as an executable attachment only. |
6 | Lovgate.w | Win32 Worm | Stable | April 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that propagates via by using MAPI as a reply to messages, by using an internal SMTP, by dropping copies of itself on network shares, and through peer-to-peer networks. Attempts to access all machines in the local area network, terminate certain processes and create archived files on the infected machine. Has backdoor capabilities, which enables it to open random ports on and steal information. |
7 | Zafi-B | Win32 Worm | Stable | June 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that spreads via e-mail using several different languages, including English, Hungarian and Russian. When executed, the worm makes two copies of itself in the %System% directory with randomly generated file names.Zafi.B prevents the user from using applications that contain the strings "regedit" "msconfig" and "task" in the filename. |
7 | Netsky-Z | Win32 Worm | Stable | April 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that is very close to previous variants. The worm spreads in e-mails, but does not spread to local network and P2P and does not uninstall Bagle worm. The worm has a backdoor that listens on port 665. |
9 | Netsky-B | Win32 Worm | Stable | February 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. Also searches drives for certain folder names and then copies itself to those folders. |
10 | MyDoom-O | Win32 Worm | Stable | July 2004 | A mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to generate email messages. It gathers its target email addresses from files with certain extension names. It also avoids sending email messages to email addresses that contain certain strings. |
