TITLE:
Joomla! Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26239

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26239/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Hijacking, Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Joomla! 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5788/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Joomla!, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct session fixation attacks,
cross-site scripting attacks or HTTP response splitting attacks.

1) Certain unspecified input passed in com_search, com_content and
mod_login is not properly sanitised before being returned to a user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a
user’s browser session in context of an affected site.

2) Input passed to the “url” parameter is not properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary
HTTP headers, which will be included in a response sent to the user,
allowing for execution of arbitrary HTML and script code in a user’s
browser session in context of an affected site.

3) An error exists in the handling of sessions and can be exploited to
hijack another user’s session by tricking the user into logging in after
following a specially crafted link.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.0.13.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.13. http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.

TITLE:
Yahoo! Widgets YDP ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26011

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26011/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Yahoo! Widgets 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/14324/

DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in Yahoo! Widgets, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
YDPCTL.YDPControl.1 (YDPCTL.dll) ActiveX control when handling the
“GetComponentVersion()” method. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string (greater
than 512 bytes) to the affected method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in YDPCTL.dll version 2007.4.13.1
included in Yahoo! Widgets version 4.0.3 (build 178). Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.0.5.
