I. FRONT AND CENTER
---------------------
1. Skills for the Future
By Don Parker
A lot of the emails sent to me ask a basic question: Just how does one break into computer security or what skills should you learn to get that first security job. Lately though, I have been receiving many more queries on specifically how one can leverage an existing skill set to become an information-technology security analyst.

2. Mother May I?
By Mark Rasch
"Sure, you can have a cookie, but you may not."We all have had that discussion before -- either with our parents or our kids. A recent case from North Dakota reveals that the difference between those two concepts may lead not only to civil liability, but could land you in jail.

II. MICROSOFT VULNERABILITY SUMMARY
------------------------------------
1. COWON America jetAudio ASX File Processing Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27698
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2008-02-08
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27698
Summary:
jetAudio is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer while processing ASX files.

Exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of users running the affected application.

jetAudio 7.0.5 is reported vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

2. IBM DB2 Universal Database DAS Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27681
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2008-02-07
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27681
Summary:
IBM DB2 is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected service. Successfully exploiting this issue may facilitate in the remote compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the affected application.

NOTE: This vulnerability was previously disclosed in BID 27596 (IBM DB2 Universal Database Server 8.2 Prior To Fixpak 16 Multiple Local Vulnerabilities). Due to more information, it has been assigned its own record.

3. IBM DB2 Universal Database Server 'db2db' Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27680
Remote: No
Date Published: 2008-02-07
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27680
Summary:
IBM DB2 Universal Database Server is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability because of how the application contructs library paths.

Exploiting this issue allows local attackers to gain root privileges. Note that an attacker must be able to execute the set-uid root 'db2pd' binary to exploit this issue.

DB2 Universal Database Server 9.1 FixPack 2 on Linux systems is vulnerable. Other versions, including those for other UNIX platforms, are suspected to be vulnerable.

NOTE: This vulnerability was previously disclosed in BID 27596 'IBM DB2 Universal Database Server 8.2 Prior To Fixpak 16 Multiple Local Vulnerabilities'. Due to more information, it has been assigned its own record.

Date Published: 2008-02-05
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27665
Summary:
IBM WebSphere Edge Server Caching Proxy is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability that affects the caching proxy server because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

The vulnerability affects Caching Proxy 5.1, 5.1.1, 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, and 6.1. Other versions may also be affected.

7. TinTin++ and WinTin++ '#chat' Command Multiple Security Vulnerabilities

Date Published: 2008-02-06
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27660
Summary:
TinTin++ and WinTin++ are prone to multiple security vulnerabilities affecting the application's '#chat' functionality. These issues include a buffer-overflow vulnerability, a denial-of-service vulnerability, and a file-overwrite vulnerability.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, cause denial-of-service conditions, or overwrite files with arbitrary content.

These issues affect TinTin++ and WinTin++ 1.97.9; other versions may also be affected.

8. WinComLPD Total Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities and Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27614

Date Published: 2008-02-04
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27614
Summary:
WinComLPD Total is prone to multiple vulnerabilities, including buffer-overflow vulnerabilities and an authentication-bypass vulnerability.

Successfully exploiting these issues will allow an attacker to perform unauthorized actions or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.

These issues affect WinComLPD Total 3.0.2.623; other versions may also be vulnerable.

9. Ipswitch FTP Log Server Denial of Service Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27612
Remote: Yes

Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27612
Summary:
WS_FTP Log Server shipped with WS_FTP is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users.

This issue affects WS_FTP running FTP Log Server 7.9.14.0; other versions may also be affected.

10. Titan FTP Server DELE Command Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27611
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2008-02-04
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27611
Summary:
Titan FTP Server is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

This issue affects Titan FTP Server 6.05 build 550; other versions may also be vulnerable.

11. Print Manager Plus PQCore Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27604
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2008-02-04
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27604
Summary:
Print Manager Plus is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to crash affected servers, potentially causing the application to stop accepting further network messages. This may deny service to legitimate users.

The issue affects versions prior to Print Manager Plus 7.0.127.16. Other versions may also be affected.

12. Xlight FTP Server LDAP Blank Password Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 27602

Summary:
IBM DB2 Universal Database Server is prone to multiple local vulnerabilities, including:

- An unspecified local vulnerability
- A local security-bypass vulnerability

Attackers can exploit these issues to compromise the affected application, execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application, and bypass certain security restrictions. Other attacks are also possible.

These issues affect versions prior to IBM DB2 Universal Database Server 8.2 Fixpak 16.

NOTE: Two issues that were previously documented in this BID were given their own records to better document the details: BID 27681 ('IBM DB2 Universal Database DAS Buffer Overflow Vulnerability') and BID 27680 ('IBM DB2 Universal Database Server 'db2db' Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability').
