libraries/auth/swekey/swekey.auth.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 3.x before 3.3.10.3 and 3.4.x before 3.4.3.2 does not properly manage sessions associated with Swekey authentication, which allows remote attackers to modify the SESSION superglobal array, other superglobal arrays, and certain swekey.auth.lib.php local variables via a crafted query string, a related issue to CVE-2011-2505.

The ActiveBar1 ActiveX control in the Data Dynamics ActiveBar ActiveX controls, as distributed in ActBar.ocx 1.0.6.5 in IBM Rational System Architect 11.4.0.2, 11.4.0.1, and earlier, does not properly restrict the SetLayoutData method, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Data argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-3883. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Overview The sun generates solar flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) events in an approximate 11-year cycle. The plasma clouds generated from these events have the potential to cause geomagnetic storms that can interfere with terrestrial communications and other electronic systems, posing a risk to critical infrastructure. In a recent case, Earth-orbiting satellites detected the strongest magnetic storm in more than 4 years resulting from a solar flare and CME event.National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Space Weather Prediction Center, http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/sxi/index.html, last accessed March 1, 2011. Figure 1 illustrates the size of the CME shockwave edge in relation to the size of the sun at the point of the eruption.      Figure 1.

Overview Researchers at Digital Bond have identified multiple vulnerabilities in the Control Microsystems ClearSCADA application. The following vulnerabilities have been identified: Heap Overflow Vulnerability Cross-site Scripting Vulnerabilities Insecure Web Authentication. Affected Products The following ClearSCADA versions are affected: ClearSCADA 2005 (all versions) ClearSCADA 2007 (all versions) ClearSCADA 2009 (all versions except R2.3 and R1.4). --------- Begin Update A – Part 1 of 3 ---------- This Advisory applies to all versions of SCX (from Serck UK or Serck Aus) that are older than the following (these SCX versions bundle ClearSCADA in the package): SCX Version 67 R4.5 SCX Version 68 R3.9. ---------- End Update A – Part 1 of 3 ---------- Impact Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities reported in this Advisory requires an attacker to have a level of skill that ranges from intermediate to high depending on the specific vulnerability and desired objective. An attacker c...

strtod.c, as used in the zend_strtod function in PHP 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 5.3 before 5.3.5, and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a certain floating-point value in scientific notation, which is not properly handled in x87 FPU registers, as demonstrated using 2.2250738585072011e-308.

ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.11.3, and 2.12.x before 2.12.2, does not properly restrict use of the LD_AUDIT environment variable to reference dynamic shared objects (DSOs) as audit objects, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging an unsafe DSO located in a trusted library directory, as demonstrated by libpcprofile.so.

OpenSSL before 0.9.8q, and 1.0.x before 1.0.0c, when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is enabled, does not properly prevent modification of the ciphersuite in the session cache, which allows remote attackers to force the downgrade to an unintended cipher via vectors involving sniffing network traffic to discover a session identifier.

The fcgid_header_bucket_read function in fcgid_bucket.c in the mod_fcgid module before 2.3.6 for the Apache HTTP Server does not use bytewise pointer arithmetic in certain circumstances, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors related to "untrusted FastCGI applications" and a "stack buffer overwrite."

The utf8_decode function in PHP before 5.3.4 does not properly handle non-shortest form UTF-8 encoding and ill-formed subsequences in UTF-8 data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection protection mechanisms via a crafted string.

Overview In July, ICS-CERT published an advisory and a series of updates regarding the Stuxnet malware entitled “ICSA-10-201 USB Malware Targeting Siemens Control Software.” Since then, ICS-CERT has continued analysis of the Stuxnet malware in an effort to determine more about its capabilities and intent. As the analysis has progressed, understanding of the malware sophistication has continued to increase. Stuxnet makes use of a previously unpatched Windows vulnerability and a digitally signed kernel-mode rootkit. There have been two digital certificates used to sign this rootkit. The original certificate was revoked. Subsequently, a second variant was discovered in which the same rootkit was signed with a different key, which has also been revoked. With approximately 4,000 functions, Stuxnet contains as much code as some commercial software products. The complex code is object oriented and employs many programming techniques that demonstrate advanced knowledge in many areas, including...
