Threat Remediation
Fortinet provides coverage for the vulnerabilities described below as of the
2.489 IPS Definitions database update.
A brief description of each vulnerability is provided as follows, in order of severity.
Critical ( 2 )
Description:
This indicates an attempt to exploit an arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability in HP Software Update, shipped with many HP systems.
The vulnerability is due to a design weakness in an ActiveX component that is used to download patches and updates for HP software. A remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability by persuading a target user to open a malicious web page that can then overwrite sensitive files on the local file system. By doing this the attacker can corrupt the operating system and/or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged in user.
Affected Products:
HP Software Update 3.0.8.4
Reference IDs:
|
Description:
This indicates an attempt to exploit a buffer overflow or SQL injection vulnerability in Oracle Database.
The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in the procedures "xDb.XDB_PITRIG_PKG.PITRIG_TRUNCATE" and "xDb.XDB_PITRIG_PKG.PITRIG_DROP". It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or inject SQL statements via the first parameter of these two procedures.
Affected Products:
Oracle Database 9.2.0.8 Oracle Database 9.2.0.8DV Oracle Database 10.1.0.5 Oracle Database 10.2.0.3
Reference IDs:
|
High ( 2 )
Description:
This indicates an attempt to exploit a memory corruption vulnerability in Mozilla products.
The vulnerability may allow remote attackers to steal the navigation history and cause a denial of service (crash) via images in a page that uses designMode frames. This triggers memory corruption related to resize handles.
Affected Products:
Multiple Products
Reference IDs:
|
Description:
This indicates an attempt to exploit a heap overflow vulnerability in Symantec VERITAS Storage Foundation.
The vulnerability is caused by a boundry error in vxvea3.dll that occurs when handling a malformed udp packet sent to udp port 3207(administrator service). It allows remote attackers to cause memory corruption or execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted udp packet.
Affected Products:
Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0
Reference IDs:
|
Medium ( 2 )
Description:
This indicates an attempt to exploit a file overwriting vulnerability in Microsoft Rich Textbox Control ActiveX control.
The vulnerability is due to lack of path verification in the control's method SaveFile. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability via a specially crafted web page to create or modify arbitrary files on the target system.
Affected Products:
Microsoft Rich TextBox Control 6.0
Reference IDs:
|
Description:
This indicates an attempt to exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in Yahoo! Toolbar.
The vulnerability is caused by boundary errors within the YShortcut ActiveX control component of Yahoo! Toolbar. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by enticing the target user to open a crafted webpage, potentially causing arbitrary code to be injected and executed in the security context of the current user.
Affected Products:
Yahoo! Toolbar 1.4.1
Reference IDs:
|
Info ( 2 )
Description:
This indicates a connection attempt to Windows Terminal Server was made by RDP client.
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a multi-channel protocol that allows a user to connect to a computer running Microsoft Terminal Server. The server listens by default on TCP port 3389.
Affected Products:
Windows system that runs terminal server on the Internet is vulnerable.
|
Description:
This indicates a connection attempt to VNC server was made by VNC client.
VNC is a free remote control software which allows user to view and fully interact with one computer desktop (the "VNC server") using a simple program (the "VNC viewer") on another computer desktop anywhere on the Internet.
Affected Products:
Any system that runs VNC server on the Internet is vulnerable.

Active Exploitation
The FortiGuard Threat Research team uses globally distributed probes
to monitor exploit activity. Vulnerabilities can be classified as
active and given a magnitude level. The magnitude level is the rate
of activity across the probes. The value of the magnitude is set to
low, medium or high.
The table below lists the vulnerabilities discussed in this bulletin
and their corresponding exploit activity magnitude. The data below is
as of this writing.
