Nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine for single hosts. Sometimes you need speed, other times you may need stealth. In some cases, bypassing firewalls may be required. Not to mention the fact that you may want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc.). Nmap supports Vanilla TCP connect() scanning, TCP SYN (half open) scanning, TCP FIN, Xmas, or NULL (stealth) scanning, TCP ftp proxy (bounce attack) scanning, SYN/FIN scanning using IP fragments (bypasses some packet filters), TCP ACK and Window scanning, UDP raw ICMP port unreachable scanning, ICMP scanning (ping-sweep), TCP Ping scanning, Direct (non portmapper) RPC scanning, Remote OS Identification by TCP/IP Fingerprinting, and Reverse-ident scanning. Nmap also supports a number of performance and reliability features such as dynamic delay time calculations, packet timeout and retransmission, parallel port scanning, detection of down hosts via parallel pings.
d51565cbed63a648275890cfa8415dc6Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-079 - A flaw exists in the IP network matching code in sudo versions 1.6.9p3 through 1.8.4p4 that may result in the local host being matched even though it is not actually part of the network described by the IP address and associated netmask listed in the sudoers file or in LDAP. As a result, users authorized to run commands on certain IP networks may be able to run commands on hosts that belong to other networks not explicitly listed in sudoers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
a82d4f16637b3e9c765adcb020435e6eYandex.Server version 2010 9.0 Enterprise suffers from a cross site scripting vulnerability.
4acabde70e2fe16d32d051715fa533d5This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in the FlexNet License Server Manager. The vulnerability is due to the insecure usage of memcpy in the lmgrd service when handling network packets, which results in a stack buffer overflow. In order to improve reliability, this module will make lots of connections to lmgrd during each attempt to maximize its success.
19d930127fce9ef37c1be58047232c2eThis Metasploit module exploits a buffer overflow in Foxit Reader 3.0 builds 1301 and earlier. Due to the way Foxit Reader handles the input from an "Launch" action, it is possible to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, allowing an attacker to gain arbitrary code execution under the context of the user.
dd101f060050f721d607dcf105579673This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability found in HP's StorageWorks P4000 VSA on versions prior to 9.5. By using a default account credential, it is possible to inject arbitrary commands as part of a ping request via port 13838.
805aa9b54275410ba2172135738fec35This Metasploit module exploits an arbitrary code injection vulnerability in the chat module that is part of Active Collab by abusing a preg_replace() using the /e modifier and its replacement string using double quotes. The vulnerable function can be found in activecollab/application/modules/chat/functions/html_to_text.php.
bb5dd6f386c14e61316d4ebca6557bffDebian Linux Security Advisory 2476-1 - intrigeri discovered a format string error in pidgin-otr, an off-the-record messaging plugin for Pidgin.
39567a080fdf7c8102925cb89088175aUbuntu Security Notice 1448-1 - 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.
64020a7ad9d2524e8a27f3902d2f9482Ubuntu Security Notice 1447-1 - Juri Aedla discovered that libxml2 contained an off by one error in its XPointer functionality. If a user or application linked against libxml2 were tricked into opening a specially crafted XML file, an attacker could cause the application to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
e6d4b3305262f0f221a819a63ea048d0Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0683-01 - The dynamic LDAP back end is a plug-in for BIND that provides back-end capabilities to LDAP databases. It features support for dynamic updates and internal caching that help to reduce the load on LDAP servers. A flaw was found in the way bind-dyndb-ldap handled LDAP query errors. If a remote attacker were able to send DNS queries to a named server that is configured to use bind-dyndb-ldap, they could trigger such an error with a DNS query leveraging bind-dyndb-ldap's insufficient escaping of the LDAP base DN. This would result in an invalid LDAP query that named would retry in a loop, preventing it from responding to other DNS queries. With this update, bind-dyndb-ldap only attempts to retry one time when an LDAP search returns an unexpected error.
0119f80ca91861389e4fb7a59f56c437Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0681-01 - Apache Tomcat is a servlet container. JBoss Enterprise Web Server includes the Tomcat Native library, providing Apache Portable Runtime support for Tomcat. This update fixes the JBPAPP-4873, JBPAPP-6133, and JBPAPP-6852 bugs. It also resolves multiple flaws that weakened the Tomcat HTTP DIGEST authentication implementation, subjecting it to some of the weaknesses of HTTP BASIC authentication, for example, allowing remote attackers to perform session replay attacks.

c92823d601c7394a37351bbc1fdf71a9Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0677-01 - PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. The pg_dump utility inserted object names literally into comments in the SQL script it produces. An unprivileged database user could create an object whose name includes a newline followed by an SQL command. This SQL command might then be executed by a privileged user during later restore of the backup dump, allowing privilege escalation. CREATE TRIGGER did not do a permissions check on the trigger function to be called. This could possibly allow an authenticated database user to call a privileged trigger function on data of their choosing.

d18a2fa772b5bfebd2156c7deeff6f9fRed Hat Security Advisory 2012-0676-01 - KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. KVM is a Linux kernel module built for the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel. A flaw was found in the way the KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP ioctl was handled. Calling this ioctl when at least one virtual CPU already existed could lead to a NULL pointer dereference later when the VCPU is scheduled to run. A malicious user in the kvm group on the host could use this flaw to crash the host. A flaw was found in the way device memory was handled during guest device removal. Upon successful device removal, memory used by the device was not properly unmapped from the corresponding IOMMU or properly released from the kernel, leading to a memory leak. A malicious user in the kvm group on the host who has the ability to assign a device to a guest could use this flaw to crash the host.
75bbd88324ddd95cff9e55be111b3594Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0678-01 - PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system. The pg_dump utility inserted object names literally into comments in the SQL script it produces. An unprivileged database user could create an object whose name includes a newline followed by an SQL command. This SQL command might then be executed by a privileged user during later restore of the backup dump, allowing privilege escalation. When configured to do SSL certificate verification, PostgreSQL only checked the first 31 characters of the certificate's Common Name field. Depending on the configuration, this could allow an attacker to impersonate a server or a client using a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority issued for a different name.
e1a961e6fbae0168e6ab55161d04fc13Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 201205-3 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Chromium and V8, some of which may allow execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 19.0.1084.46 are affected.

This vulnerability allows to display the archives management page, and download and delete the list archives by unauthorized users.
