CVE-2011-2686

Ruby before 1.8.7-p352 does not reset the random seed upon forking, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the values of random numbers by leveraging knowledge of the number sequence obtained in a different child process, a related issue to CVE-2003-0900. NOTE: this issu...

Nmap NSE net: smb-brute

Attempts to guess username/password combinations over SMB, storing discovered combinations for use in other scripts. SYNTAX: userdb: The filename of an alternate username database. brutelimit: Limits the number of usernames checked in the script. In some domains, it's possible to end up with...

Nmap NSE net: smbv2-enabled

Checks whether or not a server is running the SMBv2 protocol. SYNTAX: smbbasic: Forces the authentication to use basic security, as opposed to 'extended security'. Against most modern systems, extended security should work, but there may be cases where you want to force basic. There's a chance th...

Nmap NSE net: smb-system-info

Pulls back information about the remote system from the registry. Getting all of the information requires an administrative account, although a user account will still get a lot of it. Guest probably won't get any, nor will anonymous. This goes for all operating systems, including Windows 2000...

Nmap NSE net: smb-os-discovery

Attempts to determine the operating system, computer name, domain, and current time over the SMB protocol ports 445 or 139. This is done by starting a session with the anonymous account or with a proper user account, if one is given; it likely doesn't make a difference; in response to a session...

Nmap NSE net: smb-security-mode

Returns information about the SMB security level determined by SMB. SYNTAX: smbbasic: Forces the authentication to use basic security, as opposed to 'extended security'. Against most modern systems, extended security should work, but there may be cases where you want to force basic. There's a...

Nmap NSE net: smb-flood

Exhausts a remote SMB server's connection limit by by opening as many connections as we can. Most implementations of SMB have a hard global limit of 11 connections for user accounts and 10 connections for anonymous. Once that limit is reached, further connections are denied. This script exploits...

Nmap NSE net: stuxnet-detect

Detects whether a host is infected with the Stuxnet worm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet. An executable version of the Stuxnet infection will be downloaded if a format for the filename is given on the command line. SYNTAX: smbbasic: Forces the authentication to use basic security, as opposed...

Nmap NSE net: smb-enum-processes

Pulls a list of processes from the remote server over SMB. This will determine all running processes, their process IDs, and their parent processes. It is done by querying the remote registry service, which is disabled by default on Vista; on all other Windows versions, it requires Administrator...

DEBIAN-CVE-2008-7278

The S/MIME feature in Open Ticket Request System OTRS before 2.2.5, and 2.3.x before 2.3.0-beta1, does not properly configure the RANDFILE environment variable for OpenSSL, which might make it easier for remote attackers to decrypt e-mail messages that had lower than intended entropy available fo...

mozilla: in-session phishing attack

The Math.random function in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x before 3.5.10 and 3.6.x before 3.6.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.5, uses a random number generator that is seeded only once per browser session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user, or trick a...
