This Metasploit module exploits a file upload vulnerability in SysAid Help Desk v14.3 and v14.4. The vulnerability exists in the RdsLogsEntry servlet which accepts unauthenticated file uploads and handles zip file contents in a insecure way. By combining both weaknesses, a remote attacker can accomplish remote code execution. Note that this will only work if the target is running Java 6 or 7 up to 7u25, as Java 7u40 and above introduces a protection against null byte injection in file names. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on version v14.3.12 b22 and v14.4.32 b25 in Linux. In theory this module also works on Windows, but SysAid seems to bundle Java 7u40 and above with the Windows package which prevents the vulnerability from being exploited.

Beltane is a web-based central management console for the Samhain file integrity / intrusion detection system. It enables the administrator to browse client messages, acknowledge them, and update centrally stored file signature databases. Beltane requires a Samhain (version 1.6.0 or higher) client/server installation, with file signature databases stored on the central server, and logging to a SQL database enabled.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2673-1 – Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that NSS incorrectly handled state transitions for the TLS state machine. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to skip the ServerKeyExchange message and remove the forward-secrecy property. Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Bobby Holley, and Andrew McCreight discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. Various other issues were also addressed.

HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX03379 SSRT101976 1 – A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP-UX running BIND. This vulnerability could be exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS). Revision 1 of this advisory.

HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03377 1 – A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP Release Control running RC4. This is the SSL/TLS vulnerability known as “Bar Mitzvah” which could be exploited remotely resulting in disclosure of information. Revision 1 of this advisory.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1455-01 – Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. It was found that Thunderbird skipped key-pinning checks when handling an error that could be overridden by the user. This flaw allowed a user to override a pinned certificate, which is an action the user should not be able to perform.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1443-01 – The Berkeley Internet Name Domain is an implementation of the Domain Name System protocols. BIND includes a DNS server ; a resolver library ; and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly. A flaw was found in the way BIND performed DNSSEC validation. An attacker able to make BIND resolve a name in an attacker-controlled domain could cause named to exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure.

Samhain is a file system integrity checker that can be used as a client/server application for centralized monitoring of networked hosts. Databases and configuration files can be stored on the server. Databases, logs, and config files can be signed for tamper resistance. In addition to forwarding reports to the log server via authenticated TCP/IP connections, several other logging facilities (e-mail, console, and syslog) are available. Tested on Linux, AIX, HP-UX, Unixware, Sun and Solaris.
