This Metasploit module abuses the SVG support to execute Java Code in the Squiggle Browser included in the Batik framework 1.7 through a crafted svg file referencing a jar file. In order to gain arbitrary code execution, the browser must meet the following conditions: (1) It must support at least SVG version 1.1 or newer, (2) It must support Java code and (3) The "Enforce secure scripting" check must be disabled. The module has been tested against Windows and Linux platforms.

OpenOffice.org includes the customized libwpd version 0.8.8 library for parsing WordPerfect documents. The used version of the libwpd library suffers from a memory overwrite vulnerability when reading a specially crafted WPD file. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in an arbitrary code execution within the OpenOffice.org software suite.

The Hackers 2 Hackers Conference (H2HC) 9th edition call for papers has been announced. It is being held in Sao Paulo, Brazil from October 18th through the 23rd, 2012.

HP Security Bulletin HPSBOV02780 SSRT100766 - A potential security vulnerability has been identified with OpenVMS ACMELOGIN when SYS$ACM system service for authentication is enabled. The vulnerability could be locally exploited to allow unauthorized access and increased privileges. Revision 1 of this advisory.

HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX02782 SSRT100844 - A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP-UX OpenSSL. This vulnerability could be exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS). Revision 1 of this advisory.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-078 - Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in imagemagick. A flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed images with malformed Exchangeable image file format metadata. An attacker could create a specially-crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, would cause ImageMagick to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. A denial of service flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed images with malformed Exif metadata. An attacker could create a specially-crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, could cause ImageMagick to enter an infinite loop. Various other issues have also been addressed.

HULK is a web server denial of service tool written for research purposes. It is designed to generate volumes of unique and obfuscated traffic at a webserver, bypassing caching engines and therefore hitting the server's direct resource pool.

This python script looks for a large amount of possible administrative interfaces on a given site.

Digital Defense, Inc. (DDI) has discovered a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the Epicor Returns Management software SOAP interface. Left unremediated, this vulnerability could be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands and extract information from the backend database using standard SQL exploitation techniques. Additionally, an attacker may be able to leverage this flaw to compromise the database server host operating system.

This is a whitepaper that gives a complete cross site scripting walkthrough.

PHP version 5.4.3 code execution exploit for Win32.

HP VSA remote command execution exploit.

SkinCrafter active-x control version 3.0 suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 2475-1 - It was discovered that openssl did not correctly handle explicit Initialization Vectors for CBC encryption modes, as used in TLS 1.1, 1.2, and DTLS. An incorrect calculation would lead to an integer underflow and incorrect memory access, causing denial of service (application crash.)

Ubuntu Security Notice 1445-1 - A flaw was found in the Linux's kernels ext4 file system when mounted with a journal. A local, unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) virtual cpu setup. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to crash the system leading to a denial of service. Steve Grubb reported a flaw with Linux fscaps (file system base capabilities) when used to increase the permissions of a process. For application on which fscaps are in use a local attacker can disable address space randomization to make attacking the process with raised privileges easier. Various other issues were also addressed.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1444-1 - It was discovered that BackupPC did not properly sanitize its input when processing RestoreFile error messages, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain.

360-FAAR Firewall Analysis Audit and Repair is an offline command line perl policy manipulation tool to filter, compare to logs, merge, translate and output firewall commands for new policies, in checkpoint dbedit or screenos commands.

Cryptographp suffers from local file inclusion and HTTP response splitting vulnerabilities.

WebVulScan is a web application vulnerability scanner. It is a web application itself written in PHP and can be used to test remote, or local, web applications for security vulnerabilities. As a scan is running, details of the scan are dynamically updated to the user. These details include the status of the scan, the number of URLs found on the web application, the number of vulnerabilities found and details of the vulnerabilities found. After a scan is complete, a detailed PDF report is emailed to the user. The report includes descriptions of the vulnerabilities found, recommendations and details of where and how each vulnerability was exploited.

Division 6 IT suffers from cross site scripting and remote SQL injection vulnerabilities.

HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX02777 SSRT100854 - Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java Developer Kit (JDK) running on HP-UX. These vulnerabilities may allow remote Denial of Service (DoS), unauthorized modification and disclosure of information. Revision 1 of this advisory.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-077 - Untrusted search path vulnerability in configure.c in ImageMagick before 6.6.5-5, when MAGICKCORE_INSTALLED_SUPPORT is defined, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse configuration file in the current working directory. A flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed images with malformed Exchangeable image file format metadata. An attacker could create a specially-crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, would cause ImageMagick to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. A denial of service flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed images with malformed Exif metadata. An attacker could create a specially-crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, could cause ImageMagick to enter an infinite loop. Various other issues have also been addressed.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1443-1 - It was discovered that Update Manager created system state archive files with incorrect permissions when upgrading releases. A local user could possibly use this to read repository credentials. Felix Geyer discovered that the Update Manager Apport hook incorrectly uploaded certain system state archive files to Launchpad when reporting bugs. This could possibly result in repository credentials being included in public bug reports. Various other issues were also addressed.
