April 25, 2008, 8:22 pm[ link da copiare ] Debian Security Advisory 1557-1 - Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, an application to administrate MySQL over the WWW. Attackers with CREATE table permissions were allowed to read arbitrary files readable by the webserver via a crafted HTTP POST request. The PHP session data file stored the username and password of a logged in user, which in some setups can be read by a local user. Cross site scripting and SQL injection were possible by attackers that had permission to create cookies in the same cookie domain as phpMyAdmin runs in.
April 25, 2008, 8:22 pm[ link da copiare ] Debian Security Advisory 1556-1 - It has been discovered that the Perl interpreter may encounter a buffer overflow condition when compiling certain regular expressions containing Unicode characters. This also happens if the offending characters are contained in a variable reference protected by the \Q...\E quoting construct. When encountering this condition, the Perl interpreter typically crashes, but arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.

April 25, 2008, 8:22 pm[ link da copiare ] BadBlue is a web server used for peer-to-peer file sharing. By default, several executable files are stored in the web root: badblue.exe, uninst.exe, and dyndns.exe. Executable files stored in the web root of BadBlue can be launched remotely by any user. This can be leveraged to create a DoS condition by repeatedly invoking the uninst.exe executable. Due to the fact that BadBlue has not released a patch for the previously documented directory traversal vulnerability, an attacker may utilize these two flaws in conjunction to place a malicious executable in the web root and compromise a vulnerable server.
