@RISK provides a reliable weekly summary of (1) newly discovered attack vectors, (2) vulnerabilities with active new exploits, (3) insightful explanations of how recent attacks worked, and other valuable data
A key purpose of the @RISK is to provide the data that will ensure that the 20 Critical Controls (the US and UK benchmark for effective protection of networked systems) continue to be the most effective defenses for all known attack vectors. But since it is also valuable for security practitioners, SANS is making it available to the 145,000 security practitioners who have completed SANS security training and others at their organizations who hope to stay current with the offensive methods in use.

============================================================TOP VULNERABILITY THIS WEEK: The Java 0-day counter site jokingly put together by industry analysts recently was reset to 0 earlier this week, as Polish firm Security Explorations announced that a vulnerability in Java 7u21 was being exploited in the wild by exploit kits. Nearly simultaneously, Metasploit code for a similar issue in Java 7u17 was released, with reports that this bug is also being dropped by exploit kits in the wild. Users are urged to patch their systems immediately against both vulnerabilities.

NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES
SELECTED BY THE SOURCEFIRE VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM
Title: Fresh Java issues being exploited in the wild
Description: A new Metasploit module for the Java 7u17 sandbox bypass
emerged over the weekend, causing massive confusion within the security
industry when Polish firm Security Explorations issued a bulletin
regarding a new Java 7u21 0-day sandbox bypass. Both issues are being
exploited in the wild by exploit kits, with Cool and Redkit specifically
being known to use these bugs, and others likely to follow shortly.
Users are urged to patch their systems immediately, as fixes for both
issues have been released by Oracle.

Title: Nagios Remote Plugin Executor metacharacter filtering vulnerability
Description: Fresh exploit code was recently released for a patched
vulnerability in certain Nagios server installations, which allows
unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands through clever
use of escape sequences. System administrators are urged to ensure that
they have upgraded their systems to NRPE 2.14 or later.

Title: Siemens SIMATIC WinCC multiple vulnerabilities
Description: A slew of major vulnerabilities were recently disclosed in
the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC module, used to configure devices of that
type, including information disclosure and remote code execution issues.
While patches are available from the vendor at this time, exploitation
would be trivial, and is presumed to be happening on a targeted basis
in the wild. System administrators should ensure that all machines with
this software are patched immediately.

RECENT VULNERABILITIES FOR WHICH EXPLOITS ARE AVAILABLE
COMPILED BY THE QUALYS VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM.
This is a list of recent vulnerabilities for which exploits are available. System administrators can use this list to help in prioritization of their remediation activities. The Qualys Vulnerability Research Team compiles this information based on various exploit frameworks, exploit databases, exploit kits and monitoring of internet activity.
ID: CVE-2013-1362
Title: Nagios Remote Plugin Executor Arbitrary Command Execution
Vendor: nagios.org
Description: A remote exploitation of an input validation error
vulnerability in versions prior to 2.14 of Nagios, as included in
various vendors' operating system distributions, could allow attackers
to execute arbitrary commands on the targeted host.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
ID: CVE-2013-0632
Title: Adobe ColdFusion APSB13-03 Remote Exploit
Vendor: Adobe
Description: Adobe ColdFusion 9.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2, and 10 allows remote
attackers to bypass authentication and possibly execute arbitrary code
via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in January 2013.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
ID: CVE-2013-1080
Title: Novell ZENworks Configuration Management Remote Execution
Vendor: Novell
Description: The web server in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management
(ZCM) 10.3 and 11.2 does not properly perform authentication for
zenworks/jsp/index.jsp, which allows remote attackers to conduct
directory traversal attacks, and consequently upload and execute
arbitrary programs, via a request to TCP port 443.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
ID: CVE-2012-5879
Title: McAfee Virtual Technician ActiveX Control Insecure Method
Vendor: McAfee
Description: An ActiveX control in McHealthCheck.dll in McAfee Virtual
Technician (MVT) and ePO-MVT 6.5.0.2101 and earlier allows remote
attackers to modify or create arbitrary files via a full pathname
argument to the Save method.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 8.2 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:P)
ID: CVE-2013-1493
Title: Oracle Java SE JVM 2D Subcomponent Remote Code Execution
Vulnerability (Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2013-1493)
Vendor: Oracle
Description: The color management (CMM) functionality in the 2D
component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 15 and earlier, 6 Update 41 and
earlier, and 5.0 Update 40 and earlier allows remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (crash) via an image
with crafted raster parameters, which triggers (1) an out-of-bounds read
or (2) memory corruption in the JVM, as exploited in the wild in
February 2013.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
