Cisco Content Services Gateway Denial of Service Vulnerability
A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Cisco Content Services Gateway – Second Generation, that runs on the Cisco Service and Application Module for IP (SAMI). An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted ICMP packets to an affected device. Exploitation could cause the device to reload. There are no workarounds available to mitigate exploitation of this vulnerability other than blocking ICMP traffic destined to the affected device.
SA-CORE-2011-002 – Drupal core – Access bypass
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2011-002
- Project: Drupal core
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2011-JUNE-29
- Security risk: Highly critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
Description
CVE: CVE-2011-2687
Access bypass in node listings
Listings showing nodes but not JOINing the node table show all nodes regardless of restrictions imposed by the node_access system. In core, this affects the taxonomy and the forum subsystem.
This issue only affects sites using a node access module such as content access or forum access. If you do not use any node access system then your site is not affected by this vulnerability. It is still considered a best practice to run the latest release and all site owners are encouraged to upgrade when they can regardless of whether or not they are affected.
Note that fixing this issue in contributed modules requires a backwards-compatible API change for modules listing nodes. See http://drupal.org/node/1204572 for more details.
This issue affects Drupal 7.x only.
Versions affected
- Drupal 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2.
Solution
Install the latest version:
The Security Team has released both a pure security update without other bug fixes and a security update combined with other bug fixes and improvements. You can choose to either only include the security update for an immediate fix (which might require less quality assurance and testing) or more fixes and improvements alongside the security fixes by choosing between Drupal 7.3 and Drupal 7.4. Read the announcement for more information.

Cisco RVS4000 and WRVS4400N Web Management Interface Vulnerabilities
Cisco RVS4000 4-port Gigabit Security Routers and Cisco WRVS4400N Wireless-N Gigabit Security Routers have several web interface vulnerabilities that can be exploited by a remote, unauthenticated user.
CVE-2011-2179
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in config.c in config.cgi in (1) Nagios 3.2.3 and (2) Icinga before 1.4.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the expand parameter, as demonstrated by an (a) command action or a (b) hosts action.

Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory – June 2011
Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 Series
Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 Series devices, also known as TNP phones, are affected by three vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to elevate privileges, change phone configurations, disclose sensitive information, or load unsigned software. These three vulnerabilities are classified as two privilege escalation vulnerabilities and one signature bypass vulnerability.
Default Credentials Vulnerability in Cisco Network Registrar
Cisco Network Registrar Software Releases prior to 7.2 contain a default password for the administrative account. During the initial installation, users are not forced to change this password, allowing it to persist after the installation. An attacker who is aware of this vulnerability could authenticate with administrative privileges and arbitrarily change the configuration of Cisco Network Registrar.
SA-CORE-2011-001 – Drupal core – Multiple vulnerabilities
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2011-001
- Project: Drupal core
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2011-May-25
- Security risk: Critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass, Cross Site Scripting
Description
CVE: CVE-2011-2687
Multiple vulnerabilities and weaknesses were discovered in Drupal.
Reflected cross site scripting vulnerability in error handler
A reflected cross site scripting vulnerability was discovered in Drupal’s error handler. Drupal displays PHP errors in the messages area, and a specially crafted URL can cause malicious scripts to be injected into the message. The issue can be mitigated by disabling on-screen error display at admin/settings/error-reporting. This is the recommended setting for production sites.
This issue affects Drupal 6.x only.
Cross site scripting vulnerability in Color module
When using re-colorable themes, color inputs are not sanitized. Malicious color values can be used to insert arbitrary CSS and script code. Successful exploitation requires the “Administer themes” permission.
This issue affects Drupal 6.x and 7.x.
Access bypass in File module
When using private files in combination with a node access module, the File module allows unrestricted access to private files.
This issue affects Drupal 7.x only.
Versions affected
- Drupal 7.x before version 7.1.
- Drupal 6.x before version 6.21.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you are running Drupal 7.x then upgrade to Drupal 7.1 or 7.2.
- If you are running Drupal 6.x then upgrade to Drupal 6.21 or 6.22.
The Security Team has released both a pure security update without other bug fixes and a security update combined with other bug fixes and improvements. You can choose to either only include the security update for an immediate fix (which might require less quality assurance and testing) or more fixes and improvements alongside the security fixes by choosing between Drupal 7.1 and Drupal 7.2 or Drupal 6.21 and Drupal 6.22.

CVE-2011-1928
The fnmatch implementation in apr_fnmatch.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library 1.4.3 and 1.4.4, and the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.18, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a URI that does not match unspecified types of wildcard patterns, as demonstrated by attacks against mod_autoindex in httpd when a /*/WEB-INF/ configuration pattern is used. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-0419. (CVSS:4.3) (Last Update:2012-10-29)
