13.10.2006 Latest patched Windows exploit is a golden oldie
We've seen Microsoft patch vulnerabilities in Windows that we swear we'd seen before, and sometimes they all look so much alike that they tend to run together. But this one really is a classic: a buffer overrun triggered by a fake image file.

Mozilla has released
Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 which fixes a remote
exploitation of a vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on Linux and Windows.
The vulnerability exists when
parsing an e-mail if the "Preview" pane is turned on, which is the default. Then all a targeted user has to do is select the message in the browsing
pane. Once the message is previewed, the vulnerability will be triggered, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
current user.

27.02.2008Attacks begin against critical Patch Tuesday bug
Hackers are trying to exploit a critical Windows vulnerability just patched on Tuesday, security researchers said this afternoon -- and the only
version of Windows not at risk is the unfinished Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3).
Fortunately, attackers' incompetence means
that these initial sorties have been unsuccessful, Symantec Corp. said in a brief warning to customers of its DeepSight threat service. "The
DeepSight honeynet has observed in-the-wild exploit attempts targeting a GDI vulnerability patched by Microsoft on April 8, 2008," said Symantec in
its alert.

11.04.200820,000 Web pages help exploit 'patched' Flash flaw
A possible zero day exploit has been discovered for a flaw in Flash thought to have been patched by Adobe a month ago.
Symantec
researchers claim the exploit has several different payloads, including one to steal passwords from systems with the vulnerable software. Affected
versions of Adobe Flash Player include 9.0.124.0 (latest version) and 9.0.115.0.
Around 20,000 legitimate Web pages have been
manipulated, likely via
SQL-injection vulnerabilities, to redirect browsers to domains in China which host the exploit, according to Vincent Weafer,
senior director of development for Symantec's Security Response team.

28.05.2008Exploits hot on the heels of Microsoft's patches
Exploits appeared
within hours for two of the
bugs that Microsoft Corp.
fixed yesterday.
Microsoft's June set of
security updates patched 15
separate vulnerabilities, nine
of them labeled "critical,"
the company's most serious
threat rating. Exploit code
for two of the bugs -- one in
Internet Explorer (IE), the
other in Windows XP, Windows
2000 and Windows Server 2003
-- have been posted to the
Bugtraq and Full-disclosure
mailing lists by researchers.
A. Micalizzi went
public with a pair of exploits
-- one successful against
Windows 2000, the other
against Windows XP -- that
leverage one of the six IE
bugs patched yesterday. A bug
-- actually two because both
the ActiveListen and
ActiveVoice ActiveX controls
are flawed -- was tagged
"critical" in IE6 on Windows
2000 and Windows XP SP2, and
"critical" in IE7 on both XP
SP2 and Windows Vista.
ActiveListen and ActiveVoice
provide speech processing and
text-to-speech to the browser.

07.08.2006Microsoft patched critical Windows bug in XP SP3 early
The appearance and disappearance of a Windows XP installation snafu indicates that Microsoft patched a critical vulnerability in XP's
still-unfinished Service Pack 3 (SP3) weeks before it fixed any other version of Windows. The glitch, which sent some PCs into an endless round of
reboots, was strangely similar to one faced by Vista users in February. Attackers have already tried to exploit that bug, which was patched last
Tuesday -- as it turned out, two weeks after the newest build of Windows XP SP3 was released with the flaw fixed.
According to reports from
multiple users on a Microsoft support newsgroup, PCs began rebooting immediately after they had been updated to SP3. "I have just updated my pc from
xp sp2 to sp3," said a user identified as "yaojinglin" in a message to a SP3 support forum last Thursday. "The installation was successful, but
when I reboot my pc after the installation finished, my pc started to reboot again and again."
On the XP SP3 support threads, a Microsoft
representative named Shashank Bansal stepped into the rebooting discussion, which was beginning to seem as endless as the rebooting itself. Bansal
asked for more information, then offered an explanation: "This issue happens with 3311 build of XP SP3. It happens because KB948590 stops
installation of SP3 version of gdi32.dll on the system due to file-version differences."

15.04.200892% of Windows vulnerabilities can only occur on Administrator accounts
You know how everyone always says it's safer to run as a "Restricted" or "Standard" level user account?
Well, this is why.
According to John Moyer, the CEO of BeyondTrust Corp., 92% of critical security vulnerabilities in Windows, IE, and Office can only be exploited when
running as an Administrator user.
That's right, only 8% of critical vulnerabilities affect standard user accounts.
"This speaks to what enterprises should be doing," Moyer said. "Clearly, eliminating administrative rights can close the window of
opportunity of attack."
Of the 154 bugs published and patched by Microsoft in 2008, critical or not, 69% would have been blocked or
their impact reduced by configuring users to run without administrative rights, said the company.
When BeyondTrust looked at the
vulnerabilities patched for Microsoft's browser, Internet Explorer (IE), and its application suite, Office, it found that 89% of the former and 94%
of the latter could have been stymied by denying users administrative privileges...

28.07.2006Symantec: Sorry, Flash Player attack not a zero day
After suspecting a zero day exploit was being used to attack the latest version of Flash Player (9.0.124.0), Symantec says the call was a mistake
— it was an exploit for versions 9.0.115.0 and prior.
Yesterday it was
feared that hackers were using a malicious ShockWave Flash file which Symantec researchers thought was a zero day exploit for the latest version
of Flash Player.
Symantec, however, shied away
from confirming that it was a zero day exploit, as it appears to be designed for a flaw which Adobe patched in April, prior to it being publicly
disclosed by an IBM security researcher.
