Mozilla Firefox Array.reduceRight() Vulnerability

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Mozilla Firefox 3.6 when an array object is configured with a large length value , the reduceRigh() method may cause an invalid index being used , allowing arbitary remote code execution . Please note that the exploit requires a longer amount of time ( compare to a typical browser exploit) in order to gain control of the machine

Facebook Attach EXE Vulnerability

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:

When using the Facebook 'Messages' tab, there is a feature to attach a file. Using this feature normally, the site won't allow a user to attach an executable file. A bug was discovered to subvert this security mechanisms. Note, you do NOT have to be friends with the user to send them a message with an attachment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Description:

When attaching an executable file, Facebook will return an error message stating:

"Error Uploading: You cannot attach files of that type."

When uploading a file attachment to Facebook we captured the web browsers POST request being sent to the web server. Inside this POST request reads the line:

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="attachment"; filename="cmd.exe"

It was discovered the variable 'filename' was being parsed to determine if the file type is allowed or not.

To subvert the security mechanisms to allow an .exe file type, we modified the POST request by appending a space to our filename variable like so:

filename="cmd.exe "

This was enough to trick the parser and allow our executable file to be attached and sent in a
message.

3. Impact:

Potentially allow an attacker to compromise a victim’s computer system.

Clickjacking for Shells

Andrew Horton (urbanadventurer) presented Clickjacking for Shells at the OWASP Wellington, New Zealand Chapter Meeting on September 20th, 2011.

Two years after the world was warned about clickjacking, popular web apps are still vulnerable and no web app exploits have been published. With many security pros considering clickjacking to have mere nuisance value on social networks, the attack is grossly underestimated. I will demonstrate step by step how to identify vulnerable applications, how to write exploits that attack web apps and also how to protect against clickjacking. To demonstrate this issue I will publish an 0day clickjacking exploit for WordPress v3.1.2 and earlier to gain a shell on the webserver. In May this year the tech media reported and speculated upon clickjacking protection being implemented in WordPress and now I will show you why it is so important.
