TOP VULNERABILITY THIS WEEK: ICU Project ICU4C library contains multiple

overflow vulnerabilities

NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES SELECTED BY THE TALOS SECURITY INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH GROUP

Title: ICU Project ICU4C library contains multiple overflow
vulnerabilities
Description: ICU Project ICU4C library, versions 52 through 54, contains
a heap-based buffer overflow and an integer overflow vulnerability. An
attacker may be able to provide input that triggers one or both overflow
vulnerabilities, leading to denial of service and the possibility of
code execution. These issues have been addressed in ICU4C version 55.1.
Developers are encouraged to update applications that make use of
affected versions of ICU4C. Users of affected products should check with
product vendors for updates that utilize a patched version of ICU4C.

Title: Hospira LifeCare PCA3 Drug Infusion Pumps Contain Multiple
Remotely Exploitable Vulnerabilities
Description: The Hospira LifeCare PCA3 Drug Infusion Pump has been found
to contain multiple remotely exploitable security vulnerabilities.
Vulnerabilities such as the ability for an attacker to get an
unauthenticated remote root shell, hardcoded local accounts with
administrative privileges, storage of wireless keys in clear text, and
the use of additional software packages that have had security patches
released since the device has shipped are some of the vulnerabilities
found within the device. The U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security has issued
an advisory, indicating that the vendor is currently working to patch
these vulnerabilities.

RECENT VULNERABILITIES FOR WHICH EXPLOITS ARE AVAILABLE COMPILED BY THE QUALYS VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM

This is a list of recent vulnerabilities for which exploits are
available. System administrators can use this list to help in
prioritization of their remediation activities. The Qualys Vulnerability
Research Team compiles this information based on various exploit
frameworks, exploit databases, exploit kits and monitoring of internet
activity.

ID: CVE-2015-1701
Title: Microsoft Windows Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Vendor: Microsoft
Description: Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Windows before 8
allows local users to gain privileges via unknown vectors, as exploited
in the wild in April 2015.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 7.2 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

ID: CVE-2015-3043

Description: Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.281 and 14.x through 17.x
before 17.0.0.169 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.457 on Linux
allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service
(memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild
in April 2015, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0347,
CVE-2015-0350, CVE-2015-0352, CVE-2015-0353, CVE-2015-0354,
CVE-2015-0355, CVE-2015-0360, CVE-2015-3038, CVE-2015-3041, and
CVE-2015-3042.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

ID: CVE-2014-0556
Title: Adobe Flash Player copyPixelsToByteArray Buffer Overflow
Vendor: Adobe
Description: Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Flash Player before
13.0.0.244 and 14.x and 15.x before 15.0.0.152 on Windows and OS X and
before 11.2.202.406 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 15.0.0.249 on Windows and
OS X and before 15.0.0.252 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 15.0.0.249,
and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 15.0.0.249 allows attackers to
execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2014-0559.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

ID: CVE-2015-0313
Title: Adobe Flash Player Use-After-Free Vulnerability
Vendor: Adobe
Description: Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before
13.0.0.269 and 14.x through 16.x before 16.0.0.305 on Windows and OS X
and before 11.2.202.442 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in
February 2015, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0315,
CVE-2015-0320, and CVE-2015-0322.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

ID: CVE-2015-0235
Title: Exim GHOST (glibc gethostbyname) Buffer Overflow
Vendor: Exim.org
Description: Heap-based buffer overflow in the
__nss_hostname_digits_dots function in glibc 2.2, and other 2.x versions

CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

ID: CVE-2014-7169
Title: Multiple Vendor Bash Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Vendor: Multiple Vendors
Description: GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings
after certain malformed function definitions in the values of
environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files
or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as
demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH
sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server,
scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in
which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from
Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete
fix for CVE-2014-6271.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)

ID: CVE-2014-6271
Title: Multiple Vendor Bash Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Vendor: Multiple Vendors
Description: GNU Bash through 4.3 processes trailing strings after
function definitions in the values of environment variables, which
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted
environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand
feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache
HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other
situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege
boundary from Bash execution, aka “ShellShock.” NOTE: the original fix
for this issue was incorrect; CVE-2014-7169 has been assigned to cover
