CVE-2011-0962 (Cisco Common Services Devices Center Cross Site Scripting)

CVE-2011-0962 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in Cisco Unified Operations Manager Common Services Framework, part of Cisco Unified Operations Manager, a monitoring system for the Cisco Unified Communications system. In this attack, an HTTP request with a specially-crafted URL is sent to the target server, usually due to the victim clicking a malicious link. The server fails to correctly sanitize certain fields in the URL for Javascript code and uses the values of those fields when constructing a response. The returned page contains the malicious script, which is then run on the client machine.

Can Your Network Withstand The Zombie Attack?

According to Internet World Stats, the worldwide Internet population is close to 2 billion users. Many users browse the Internet without appropriate security software, or by using operating systems and software that are not properly updated. Attackers use automated techniques to discover such systems and exploit known vulnerabilities to install DDoS tools on those systems. Such infected computers are called zombie computers. Through automation, attackers exploit a large number of vulnerable computers, infecting them with malware code that gives attackers control of those systems.

Use-After-Free ActiveX Vulnerability in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (CVE-2013-1296)

One of my favorite pastimes here at Ixia BreakingPoint is exploring the limits of a vulnerability. We get vulnerability information from a variety of sources, and one of the things the ATI Security Team takes great pride in is our ability to fully test the capabilities of a detection device (such as a firewall or intrusion protection system). This means creating strikes that fully mimic all the possible ways an exploit can take advantage of a vulnerability, in all its possible incarnations. This can mean different file transfer methods, obfuscation and evasion methods, as well as non-obvious exploitation methods.
