TOP VULNERABILITY THIS WEEK: Attacks are occurring in the wild against

the Adobe ColdFusion administrative API, allowing remote users to
execute commands through some simple web queries. After being discovered
by impacted administrators, Adobe issued a patch last Friday, which
administrators are urged to apply as soon as possible.

NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES SELECTED BY THE SOURCEFIRE VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM

Title: ColdFusion Zero-Day Attack Allows Full Administrative Control
Description: A major vulnerability in Adobe’s ColdFusion product was
patched this week, after being discovered on Christmas day by system
administrators noting intrusions in their logs. While details of the
precise mechanism used by the exploit have been kept largely quiet, to
help slow the spread of these attacks, the issue revolves around
unauthenticated access to administrative APIs, which allows attackers
to create scheduled jobs on the vulnerable system as a path to further
code execution. Administrators should apply patches immediately, and
also ensure that all remote access to administrative APIs are
appropriately locked down.

Title: Turktrust Certificate Authority Mishap Leads To Fraudulent Certificates for Google
Description: After discovering a fraudulent SSL certificate for
“*.google.com” on Christmas Eve, the Google security team traced the
issue to Turktrust, a Turkish certificate authority. Instead of issuing
simple SSL certificates to a pair of entities, Turktrust had issued
information sufficient to allow these parties to become intermediate
authorities, which carry the full weight of trust of the parent
authority. Those certificates and others based off of them were revoked
promptly by Chrome, other major browser vendors have followed suit
within the last week. The issue highlights the continuing difficulty of
establishing proper trust relationships with SSL, as it is part of a
string of fraudulent certificate issues discovered over the last year.

Title: Asterisk vulnerability moves from denial-of-service to remote code execution
Description: An Asterisk security advisory released last week covering
crashes due to large chunks of data received via SIP or HTTP, initially
described as a denial-of-service only, has been upgraded to a remote
code execution bug after a detailed writeup by researchers at Exodus
Intelligence on Monday provided a straightforward, reliable method of
manipulating memory in the necessary manner for code execution. While
the researchers did not supply proof-of-concept exploit code, any
attacker with memory manipulation skills will be able to craft their own
exploit based on this new information, and attacks are presumed to be
taking place in the wild at this point. Administrators should apply the
available patch as soon as possible.

Title: US Patent and Trademark Office seeks public comments on enhancing
software patents
Description: While not strictly vulnerability-related themselves,
software patents have a major impact on the security software industry
as a whole, both through their traditional role in spurring innovation
and in the more modern context of potentially keeping useful detection
algorithms or techniques out of the hands of the public until well past
the time that the malware-creation industry has moved to the next
tactic. As this is a rare opportunity for members of the information
security community to make their voices heard in a meaningful way,
anyone with expertise and a relevant opinion is encouraged to
participate in the process.

Title: Official Debian Wiki, Others Compromised Via MoinMoin Exploit
Description: A trivially exploitable file inclusion vulnerability in
MoinMoin, a popular piece of Wiki software used by Debian and other
major sites, was discovered in late December, and an announcement on the
Debian-Devel mailing list last Friday noted that wiki.debian.org had
been compromised via this vector. While the damage so far appears to be
limited, and no source code appears to have been tainted, such a
high-profile target falling victim to an attack like this is a reminder
that no one is safe without proper patching and vigilance.
Administrators running this service are urged to patch as soon as
possible.
