Δημοσ.

Ο ιός έχει ξεφύγει από τον έλεγχο...

Τουλάχιστον 40.000 forums σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο υπέστησαν ζημιές.

Εμάς μας έκλεισαν προληπτικά και μαζί όλα τα phpBB forums στο server μας γιατί παρουσιαστηκαν απίστευτα slowdowns μετά από πολλαπλά DOS Attacks στα phpBB boards με παλαιότερες εκδόσεις. Tώρα προσπαθώ να επικοινωνήσω με το host μιας και είμαστε στην 2.0.11 και δεν έχουμε πρόβλημα για να μας ξεμπλοκάρει...

Το insomnia είναι στην 2.0.6 νομίζω κρίνεται απαραίτητη η αναβάθμιση στην έκδοση phpBB 2.0.11...

 

 

Technical Cyber Security Alert TA04-356A

Exploitation of phpBB highlight parameter vulnerability

 

Original release date: December 21, 2004

Last revised: --

Source: US-CERT

 

Systems Affected

 

phpBB versions 2.0.10 and prior

 

Overview

 

The software phpBB contains an input validation problem in how it

processes a parameter contained in URLs. An intruder can deface a

phpBB website, execute arbitrary commands, or gain administrative

privileges on a compromised bulletin board.

 

I. Description

 

phpBB is an open-source bulletin board application. It fails to

properly perform an urldecode() on the "highlight" parameter supplied

to viewtopic.php. This may allow a remote attacker to execute

arbitrary commands on a vulnerable server.

 

According to reports, this vulnerability is being actively exploited

by the Santy.A worm. The worm appears to propogate by searching for

the keyword "viewtopic.php" in order to find vulnerable sites.

 

The worm writes itself to a file named "m1ho2of" on the compromised

system. It then overwrites files ending with .htm, .php, .asp. shtm,

.jsp, and .phtm replacing them with HTML content that defaces the web

page. The worm then tries to use PERL to execute itself on the

compromised system and propogate further.

US-CERT is tracking this issue as:

 

VU#497400 - phpBB viewtopic.php fails to properly sanitize input

passed to the "highlight" parameter

 

II. Impact

 

A remote attacker may be able to deface a phpBB website and execute

arbitrary commands on a compromised bulletin board.

 

III. Solution

 

Upgrade phpBB

 

Upgrade to phpBB verison 2.0.11 to prevent exploitation.
