bind15.htm | 2713 | 5445 | Jan 20 18:09:10 2000 |
If you're running BIND 8.2.2, and you have the victim.dom name servers in your cache, and victim.dom changes its server names, then any user who can make recursive queries through your cache can break your victim.dom lookups until the old records time out. The complete attack is one brief burst of legitimate packets. This is, of course, not as disastrous as BIND's next buffer overflow, but it's still an interesting example of how an attacker can use BIND's bogus ``credibility'' mechanism to exacerbate the effects of a seemingly minor bug. Homepage here. | |||
bindview.nt-local.tx..> | 4802 | 5485 | Jan 14 15:49:01 2000 |
Due to a flaw in the NtImpersonateClientOfPort Windows NT 4 system call, any local user on a machine is able to impersonate any other user on the machine, including LocalSystem.

ie5.cross-frame.txt | 3966 | 2380 | Jan 7 16:27:37 2000 |
Internet Explorer 5.01 under Windows 95 and 5.5 under WinNT 4.0 (suppose other versions are also vulnerable) allows circumventing "Cross frame security policy" by accessing the DOM of "old" documents using IMG SRC="javascript:..." and a design flaw in IE. This exposes the whole DOM of the target document and opens lots of security risks. This allows reading local files, reading files from any host, window spoofing, getting cookies, etc. Demonstration available here. By Georgi Guninski courtesy of Bugtraq | |||
iis4.webhits.txt | 5290 | 7887 | Jan 27 16:39:52 2000 |

smtp2.htm | 2106 | 6483 | Jan 26 13:08:50 2000 |
USSR Labs found following. A memory leak exists in the Super Mail Transfer Package that may cause an NT host to stop functioning and/or need to be rebooted. The memory leak may occur when you connect to the SMTP port, all information you send to the system will be stored in memory, and SMTP support multiples HELO/ MAIL FROM/ RCPT TO / DATA in the same connection. If you did multiple HELO/ MAIL FROM/ RCPT TO / DATA in the same connection the memory may not be deallocated. This condition may cause the computer to stop functioning the moment memory runs out.
