Summary of Security Items from February 2 through February 8, 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.
- Sony Ericsson Cell Phones Bluetooth L2CAP Denial of Service: A remote Denial of Service vulnerability has been reported in the L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Layer Protocol) layer.
- hcidump Bluetooth L2CAP Remote Denial of Service: A remote Denial of Service vulnerability has been reported in the L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Layer Protocol) layer.
- bss-0.6.tar.gz: A L2CAP layer fuzzer designed to assess the security of Bluetooth enabled devices by sending malicious packets.
- Mobile email set to explode: According to a report from industry analysts, Datamonitor, mobile email is on the verge of mass adoption. There are roughly 650 million corporate email inboxes worldwide today and at least 35 per cent of which could be mobilized.
This section contains brief summaries and links to articles which discuss or present
information pertinent to the cyber security community.
- Cyber Storm Brewing For Homeland Security: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is attempting to create a perfect storm in cyberspace. They are simulating a series of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure in the private sector and in international, federal and state governments in order to test response. The test is part of larger homeland defense plans and ordered by a presidential directive. It is designed to strengthen communications, coordination and partnerships. The threats are fictitious and take place in a contained, secure environment.
- Exploit for QueryInterface Vulnerability in Mozilla: US-CERT is aware of publicly available exploit code for a memory corruption vulnerability in the Mozilla Firefox web browser and Thunderbird mail client.
- XML Injection and Code Execution Vulnerabilities in Mozilla Suite: US-CERT is aware of several vulnerabilities in Mozilla. Successful exploitation may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript commands with elevated privileges or cause a denial of service condition on a vulnerable system.
- Spammed Trojan horse pretends to come from anti-virus company: According to experts at SophosLabs™, a Trojan horse has been spammed out to email addresses disguised as a message from a Finnish anti-virus company. The Troj/Stinx-U Trojan horse has been seen attached to email messages pretending to come from Helsinki-based F-Secure, and can have a subject line chosen from "Firefox Browsing Problem", "Mozilla Browsing Problem", or "Website Browsing Problem".
- ID Theft And Internet Fraud Declining? According to a report by Javelin Strategy and Research, incidents of fraud from Internet-based means may be on the decline. In cases where the source of the identity theft was known, only 9 percent were reported to have come from hacking, viruses and phishing. In contrast, a lost or stolen wallet or credit/debit card was the cause of 30 percent of the incidents. The study also found that fraudulent activity is mostly (over 70 percent) conducted offline via phone or mail.
- Spyware Triples During 2005: According to anti-spyware developer Webroot, spyware tripled during 2005. At the start of the year Webroot identified only 40,000 traces and the year ended with 400,000 spyware-distributing sites and a global count of 120,000 different traces, or spyware components.
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. The worm also tries to spread through various file-sharing programs by copying itself into various shared folder. |
| 2 | 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. |
| 3 | Mytob-GH | Win32 Worm | Stable | November 2005 | A variant of the mass-mailing worm that disables security related programs and allows other to access the infected system. This version sends itself to email addresses harvested from the system, forging the sender’s address. |
