Top Security News Stories this Week

New phishing technique exploits browser tab use

A leading Firefox developer has discovered a new phishing attack method.

The attack, dubbed "tabnabbing," preys on browser tabs and the fact that users generally don't keep track of all the tabs they have open at one time, said Aza Raskin, creative lead for Mozilla's Firefox web browser, who discovered and publicized the technique.

In this type of phish, a user must be tricked into visiting a maliciously crafted tabbed page containing JavaScript, Raskin said. This allows the attacker to surreptitiously change the contents of a separately tabbed page, in addition to the name and logo on that tab.

American Express may have failed to encrypt data

American Express may be in hot water after a computer engineer discovered a portion of the card brand's website, which claims to be secure, is sending private information in the clear.

Joe Damato wrote in a blog post Tuesday that he received a promotional email from American Express encouraging him to sign up for the Daily Wish service, through which cardholders can receive hefty discounts on a limited amount of merchandise, such as computers and camcorders.

If users click on the "Sign up for Daily Wish" button, they are prompted to enter personal information, such as name, card number, security code, expiration date and billing zip code, into a pop-up box. The box includes a "This page is secure" notification link, but upon further review, Damato found this not to be the case.

Google sued for data collection via Wi-Fi

Google this week was hit with a third class-action lawsuit over its admitted collection of information from unprotected Wi-Fi networks. The most recent lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in a federal district court in Massachusetts by Carp Law Offices on behalf of internet service provider Galaxy Internet Services and its wireless customers, along with all other affected Wi-Fi users in Massachusetts. According to the complaint, Google's collection of "payload" data - the information sent to and from users over Wi-Fi networks - was in violation of Massachusetts' new data privacy law, as well as federal regulations.

Galaxy Internet Services is seeking damages totaling $10 million on behalf of itself and its customers. In addition, Google is facing two similar lawsuits over the privacy violation filed last week in Oregon and California.

Survey: Corporate PCs cluttered with malware

Despite the efforts of IT departments, many PCs in the corporate and government world are littered with unauthorized software, most notably malware, says application-whitelisting company Bit9.

The results of Bit9's "2010 What's Running on Your Users' Desktops?" survey, released Monday, uncovered PCs with a significant amount of non-business software, including games, toolbars, and torrent software. Of greater concern, IT pros surveyed also discovered malware, such as ransom-ware, Trojans, and Chinese spyware.

Among the 1,282 IT professionals questioned for the survey, 68 percent of them said they have software restrictions in place, but 45 percent said they still found unauthorized software on more than half of their client PCs.

New Vulnerabilities Tested in SecureScout

12167 PostgreSQL missing privilege checks for "ALTER USER" and "ALTER DATABASE" statements Vulnerability

PostgreSQL 7.4 before 7.4.29, 8.0 before 8.0.25, 8.1 before 8.1.21, 8.2 before 8.2.17, 8.3 before 8.3.11, and 8.4 before 8.4.4 does not properly check privileges during certain RESET ALL operations, which allows remote authenticated users to remove arbitrary parameter settings via a ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE statement.

PostgreSQL versions prior to 7.4.29, 8.0.25, 8.1.21, 8.2.17, 8.3.11, or 8.4.4 are vulnerable to this issue.

12169 PostgreSQL Insecure permissions on the "pltcl_modules" arbitrary Tcl code execution Vulnerability

The PL/Tcl implementation in PostgreSQL 7.4 before 7.4.29, 8.0 before 8.0.25, 8.1 before 8.1.21, 8.2 before 8.2.17, 8.3 before 8.3.11, 8.4 before 8.4.4, and 9.0 Beta before 9.0 Beta 2 loads Tcl code from the pltcl_modules table regardless of the table's ownership and permissions, which allows remote authenticated users, with database-creation privileges, to execute arbitrary Tcl code by creating this table and inserting a crafted Tcl script.

PostgreSQL versions prior to 7.4.29, 8.0.25, 8.1.21, 8.2.17, 8.3.11, or 8.4.4 are vulnerable to this issue.

CVE Reference:

CVE-2010-0816 (cve.mitre.org, nvd.nist.gov)

18814 VBE6.dll Stack Memory Corruption Vulnerability (MS10-031/978213) (Remote File Checking)

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications searches for ActiveX controls. This vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a host application opens and passes a specially crafted file to the Visual Basic for Applications runtime. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
