Packet Storm Security Latest

· MDVSA-2010-060.txt
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-060 - The htcpHandleTstRequest function in htcp.c in Squid 2.x and 3.0 through 3.0.STABLE23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted packets to the HTCP port, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
· cookiemonster_v1.6.zip
Cookie Monster is a cookie analysis tool written in Python. Cookie Monster will grab cookies from a host and assign each character a number. This number can be used to perform mathematical calculations on the differences in order to find a pattern and see if cookie prediction is possible.
· super-vulns.tgz
SUPERAntiSpyware and Super Ad Blocker have almost identical device drivers in order to set up hooks and perform other duties from kernel space. These device drivers suffer from lack of validation of parameters passed from user mode. Additionally, some of the functions accessible from user mode are inherently insecure and lead to easy privilege escalation. All vulnerabilities are applicable to both applications. Proof of concept code included with full advisory.
· joomlaabout-sql.txt
The Joomla About component suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
· USN-908-1.txt
Ubuntu Security Notice 908-1 - It was discovered that mod_proxy_ajp did not properly handle errors when a client doesn't send a request body. A remote attacker could exploit this with a crafted request and cause a denial of service. This issue affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10. It was discovered that Apache did not properly handle headers in subrequests under certain conditions. A remote attacker could exploit this with a crafted request and possibly obtain sensitive information from previous requests.
· MDVSA-2010-059.txt
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-059 - Unspecified vulnerability in Guest Additions in Sun xVM VirtualBox 1.6.x and 2.0.x before 2.0.12, 2.1.x, and 2.2.x, and Sun VirtualBox before 3.0.10, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) on the guest OS via unknown vectors. Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
· dsa-2010-1.txt
Debian Linux Security Advisory 2010-1 - Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in kvm, a full virtualization system.
· secunia-xnviewdicom.txt
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in XnView, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow when processing DICOM images with certain dimensions. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted DICOM file. Version 1.97 is affected.
