Summary of Security Items from January 19 through January 25, 2006
The CISA Vulnerability Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded in the past week. In some cases, the vulnerabilities in the bulletin may not yet have assigned CVSS scores.
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.
The US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin provides a summary of new and updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, and malicious code that have recently been openly reported. Information in the Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation of open source and US-CERT vulnerability information. As such, the Cyber Security Bulletin includes information published by sources outside of US-CERT and should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis or as an official report of US-CERT. Although this information does reflect open source reports, it is not an official description and should be used for informational purposes only. The intention of the Cyber Security Bulletin is to serve as a comprehensive directory of pertinent vulnerability reports, providing brief summaries and additional sources for further investigation.
The tables below summarize vulnerabilities that have been reported by various open source organizations or presented in newsgroups and on web sites. Items in bold designate updates that have been made to past entries. Entries are grouped by the operating system on which the reported software operates, and vulnerabilities which affect both Windows and Unix/ Linux Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems table. Note, entries in each table are not necessarily vulnerabilities in that operating system, but vulnerabilities in software which operate on some version of that operating system.
Entries may contain additional US-CERT sponsored information, including Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) numbers, National Vulnerability Database (NVD) links, Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) values, Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL) definitions, or links to US-CERT Vulnerability Notes. Metrics, values, and information included in the Cyber Security Bulletin which has been provided by other US-CERT sponsored programs, is prepared, managed, and contributed by those respective programs. CVSS values are managed and provided by the US-CERT/ NIST National Vulnerability Database. Links are also provided to patches and workarounds that have been provided by the product’s vendor.
The Risk levels are defined below:
High - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “High” severity if they have a CVSS base score of 7.0-10.0.
Medium - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “Medium” severity if they have a base CVSS score of 4.0-6.9.
Low - Vulnerabilities will be labeled “Low” severity if they have a CVSS base score of 0.0-3.9.
Note that scores provided prior to 11/9/2005 are approximated from only partially available CVSS metric data. Such scores are marked as "Approximated" within NVD. In particular, the following CVSS metrics are only partially available for these vulnerabilities and NVD assumes certain values based on an approximation algorithm: AccessComplexity, Authentication, ConfImpact of 'partial', IntegImpact of 'partial', AvailImpact of 'partial', and the impact biases.

Wireless Trends & Vulnerabilities
This section contains wireless vulnerabilities, articles, and malicious code
that has been identified during the current reporting period.
- bluediving-0.3.tgz: Bluediving is a Bluetooth penetration testing suite that implements attacks like Bluebug, BlueSnarf, BlueSnarf++, BlueSmack, and has features such as Bluetooth address spoofing.
- Worldwide Hotspot List Tops 100,000 Mark: According to JiWire, the total number of hotspots listed in its directory is now 103,555. In 2005, the number of worldwide hotspots grew 87 percent.The three top countries for hotspots were the U.S., the United Kingdom and Germany. Last year, the three top countries were the U.S., the U.K. and South Korea.
- Cambridge prof warns of Skype botnet threat: According to a Cambridge professor, Voice-over-IP apps could be used to cloak networks of zombies and launch Denial of Service attacks.
- Four new Trojans on the loose: Antivirus companies are warning that four new Trojans are on the loose, three aimed at mobile phones and a fourth at PCs. The mobile phone worms are disguised as legitimate applications and spread via Bluetooth or multimedia messages and affect phones running Symbian. The computer worm spreads via e-mail and purports to offer pornography.
This section contains brief summaries and links to articles which discuss or present
information pertinent to the cyber security community.
- Nyxem Mass-mailing Worm: US-CERT is aware of a new mass-mailing worm known as Nyxem (CME-24). This worm relies on social engineering to propagate. Specifically, the user must click on a link or open an attached file.
- FBI publishes 2005 computer crime survey: An FBI survey provides statistics on the state of computer security attacks and defense technologies used by all sizes of organizations. Nine out of ten organizations experienced security incidents in the past year. Over 64% of respondents incurred a financial loss as a result of computer crime; however, only 9% reported these incidents to law enforcement. The United States and China top of the list as by far the worst offenders, together accounting as the source of more than half of all external intrusion attempts. The survey also reports that 44% of all reported intrusions were internal to the organization affected.
- Half-million PCs infected by e-mail virus: According to evidence from a web counter, a mass-mailing computer virus that is coded to delete files on February 3 may have spread to more than 500,000 servers. The virus that is known as the Blackmal.E or Nyxem.E virus, travels as an attachment to e-mail messages with suggestive subject lines such as "School girl fantasies gone bad" and "Re: Sex Video". The virus will completely compromise systems whose users open the attachment, attempting to disable security software and making extensive changes to the registry.
- Attackers To Go After 2006's Weakest Link: People: According to IBM's annual "Security Threats and Attack Trends Report", enterprises should expect a continued move toward stealthier, smaller, more focused attacks on their computer security, with the weakest link, workers' gullibility, increasingly the focus of hacker efforts.
- Kama Sutra Spoofs Digital Certificates: According to a Fortinet advisory, the Kama Sutra worm can fool Windows into accepting a malicious ActiveX control by spoofing a digital signature. The worm also goes by names such as Nyxem.e, MyWife.d, Grew.a, and Blackmal.e. It adds 18 entries to the Windows Registry to slip the ActiveX control by the operating system's defenses.
name=viruses id="viruses">Viruses/Trojans 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), and approximate date first found.
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.
