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-2013-1347
Title: Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Use-After-Free Memory Corruption
Vulnerability
Vendor: Microsoft
Description: Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 does not properly handle
objects in memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code by accessing an object that (1) was not properly allocated or (2)
is deleted, as exploited in the wild in May 2013.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
ID: CVE-2013-3238
Title: phpMyAdmin preg_replace() Input Validation Error Script
Execution Vulnerability
Vendor: phpMyAdmin
Description: phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8 and 4.x before 4.0.0-rc3
allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a /e\x00
sequence, which is not properly handled before making a preg_replace
function call within the “Replace table prefix” feature.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.0 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P)
ID: CVE-2013-2423
Title: Java Applet Reflection Type Confusion Remote Code Execution
Vendor: Oracle
Description: Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK
7, allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors
related to HotSpot. NOTE: the previous information is from the April
2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from the original
researcher that this vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass
permission checks by the MethodHandles method and modify arbitrary
public final fields using reflection and type confusion, as demonstrated
using integer and double fields to disable the security manager.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 4.3 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
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-2013-1493
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)
