New Analytics Tool Defines Language Used Malicious Domains

OpenDNS has gone public with a new tool that uses a blend of analytics principles found outside information security to create a threat model for detecting domains used in criminal and state-sponsored hacking campaigns. NLPRank is not ready for production, said OpenDNS director of security resear...

PolarSSL 'asn1_get_sequence_of' Function Uninitialized Pointer RCE

PolarSSL contains a flaw when parsing ASN.1 sequences from X.509 certificates due to freeing an uninitialized pointer by the function 'asn1getsequenceof' within file 'asn1parse.c'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker, using a specially crafted certificate, can exploit this flaw to cause a denial ...

CVE-2015-1182

The asn1getsequenceof function in library/asn1parse.c in PolarSSL 1.0 through 1.2.12 and 1.3.x through 1.3.9 does not properly initialize a pointer in the asn1sequence linked list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted...

FreeBSD : polarssl -- Remote attack using crafted certificates (a5856eba-a015-11e4-a680-1c6f65c3c4ff)

PolarSSL team reports : During the parsing of a ASN.1 sequence, a pointer in the linked list of asn1sequence is not initialized by asn1getsequenceof. In case an error occurs during parsing of the list, a situation is created where the uninitialized pointer is passed to polarsslfree. This sequence...

polarssl: remote code execution

During the parsing of a ASN.1 sequence, a pointer in the linked list of asn1sequence is not initialized by asn1getsequenceof. In case an error occurs during parsing of the list, a situation is created where the uninitialized pointer is passed to polarsslfree. This sequence can be triggered when a...

Oracle Solaris Third-Party Patch Update : wireshark (multiple_buffer_errors_vulnerabilities_in3)

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates : - The dissectlog function in plugins/irda/packet-irda.c in the IrDA dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip '\n' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service...

CVE-2015-0561

CVE-2015-0561 affects Wireshark’s LPP dissector (asn1/lpp/lpp.cnf): a crafted packet can trigger an out-of-bounds memory access due to a validation bug on a certain index value, causing a denial of service. Affected versions are Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3. The issue ...

USN-2452-1: NSS vulnerability

It was discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain ASN.1 lengths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a data-smuggling attack...

IPSwitch IMAIL LDAP Overflow - Ver2 (CVE-2004-0297)
