Weekly Update - 11/6/13

Disclosures for SuperMicro IPMI On the heels of last week's bundle of FOSS disclosures [/2013/10/30/seven-foss-disclosures-part-one], we've gone a totally different direction this week with a new round of disclosures. Today, we're concentrating on a single vendor which ships firmware for Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs): Supermicro, and their Supermicro IPMI firmware. You can read up on the details on HD's blog post [/2013/11/06/supermicro-ipmi-firmware-vulnerabilities] which covers the

Weekly Update: Apple OSX Privilege Escalation

Sudo password bypass on OSX This week's update includes a nifty local exploit for OSX, the sudo bug described in CVE-2013-1775. We don't have nearly enough of these Apple desktop exploits, and it's always useful to disabuse the Apple-based cool-kids web app developer crowd of the notion that their computing platform of choice is bulletproof. Joe Vennix [https://github.com/jvennix-r7], the principle author of this module, is, in fact, of that very same Apple-based developer crowd, and usually bu

Weekly Update: Cooperative Disclosure and Assessing Joomla

Cooperative Disclosure I'm in attendance this year at Rapid7's UNITED Security Summit, and the conversations I'm finding myself in are tending to revolve around vulnerability disclosure. While Metasploit doesn't traffic in zero-day vulnerabilities every day, it happens often enough that we have a disclosure policy that we stick to when we get a hold of newly uncovered vulnerabilities. What's not talked about in that disclosure policy is the Metasploit exploit dev community's willingness to help

Metasploit Update: Those Sneaky IPMI Devices

IPMI, in my network? This week's update features a set of tools for auditing your IPMI infrastructure. "Phew, I'm glad I'm not one of those suckers," you might be thinking to yourself. Well, the thing about IPMI (aka, the Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is that it's just a skootch more esoteric than most protocols, and even experienced server administrators may not be aware of it. Do you use server hardware from IBM, Dell, or HP? Have you ever had to use IBM's Remote Supervisor adapte

Weekly Update: Smaller is Better

In this week's episode, the role of Tod Beardsley will be played by egypt. Smaller is better Perhaps the most prominent addition to the framework this week is not an addition at all, but rather a deletion. We've been working toward a slimmer, more manageable source tree for a while now, and as part of that effort, we recently removed a pile of old-and-busted unit tests. This update goes a bit further, moving source code for some compiled payloads into seperate repositories. Metasploit's version

Weekly Update: The Nginx Exploit and Continuous Testing

Nginx Exploit for CVE-2013-2028 The most exciting element of this week's update is the new exploit for Nginx which exercises the vulnerability described by CVE-2013-2028 [http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-announce/2013/000112.html]. The Metasploit module was written by Metasploit community contributors hal and saelo, and exploits Greg McManus's bug across a bunch of versions on a few pre-compiled Linux targets. We don't often come across remote, server-side stack buffer overflows in popul

Weekly Update: 4.6.1, ColdFusion Exploit, and SVN Lockdown

Metasploit 4.6.1 Released This week's update bumps the patch version of Metasploit to 4.6.1 (for installed versions of Metasploit). The major change here is the ability to install Metasploit on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. That meant we had to fiddle with the installer and a few of Metasploit Pro's dependencies to get that all working correctly, and that led to skipping last week's release so we could be sure all the moving parts lined up correctly. This release also fixes a few minor iss

Update to the Metasploit Updates and msfupdate

The Short Story In order to use the binary installer's msfupdate, you need to first register your Metasploit installation. In nearly all cases, this means visiting https://localhost:3790 [https://localhost:3790/] and filling out the form. No money, no dense acceptable use policy, just register and go.
