Be aware that a buffer overflow has been announced for Apple QuickTime RTSP and currently does not have a patch available. An attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on vulnerable clients by convincing the user to open specially crafted QuickTime content. This affects both Mac and Windows clients and also applies to other software (such as iTunes) that use vulnerable QuickTime components. Read more about the vulnerability can be found here as well as suggested workarounds: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/442497.

If you have Adobe Reader or Acrobat version 7.0.8 or earlier installed, you must upgrade to version 8.0 to be protected from a recent cross-site scripting vulnerability just announced when accessing.pdf files from a web browser.

1/4/2006: Two alerts to note for the new year: Another Sober virus variant is proposed to strike with a wave of e-mail attacks on January 5th or 6th. Also, a vulnerability was announced last month that affects how Microsoft handles WMF images. Please read the details for both alerts below to see how these security alerts affect you.

1. Another Sober variant attack is expected to strike on January 5th or 6th. The importance of this warning is that you would already have to be infected with this Sober virus in order for the email attack to trigger on January 5th or 6th. All computers on our network should already have up-to-date anti-virus software in place to prevent an initial infection and therefore should not be the source of the e-mail attack portion of the Sober virus.

   
   

2. Microsoft WMF Image Vulnerability. A vulnerability was announced at the end of December that affected how Microsoft handles WMF images. The vulnerability would allow an attacker to take complete control when an infected image was accessed. An infected image could be accessed by visiting a malicious website from a web browser, inside an e-mail or IM.

The Microsoft announcement, specifically the FAQ section, should answer your questions on this vulnerability and how it affects you. 

The official Microsoft patch is due to be released earlier than the scheduled January 10th. The new announcement states it will be released on January 5th. Be aware that an unofficial patch is available on the Internet and that we do not recommend applying any unofficial patches.

Even though this is a serious vulnerability that needs to be patched, the Microsoft announcement notes:

• anti-virus companies indicate that attacks based on exploiting the WMF vulnerability are being effectively mitigated through up-to-date signatures;
• customers who follow safe browsing best practices are not likely to be compromised by any exploitation of the WMF vulnerability. Users should take care not to visit unfamiliar or un-trusted Web sites that could potentially host the malicious code.
