“January promises to be a busy month for Web server and database
administrators alike: A security research firm in Russia says it
plans to release information about a slew of previously
undocumented vulnerabilities in several widely-used commercial
software products.“Evgeny Legerov, founder of Moscow based Intevydis, said he
intends to publish the information between Jan 11 and Feb 1. The
final list of vulnerabilities to be released is still in flux,
Legerov said, but it is likely to include vulnerabilities (and in
some cases working exploits) in:“-Web servers such as Zeus Web Server, Sun Web Server
(pre-authentication buffer overflows);
-Databases, including Mysql (buffer overflows), IBM DB2 (local root
vulnerability), Lotus Domino and Informix
-Directory servers, such as Novell eDirectory, Sun Directory and
Tivoli Directory.”
