The world lost a funny, talented and wonderful soul late last week. I only knew him for a year, but Raimund Genes made those of us who came to Trend Micro via the TippingPoint acquisition feel right at home. I appreciated his candor, his love of life and his creative cocktails. He was a tremendous part of the Trend Micro family and he will be sorely missed. I offer my sincerest condolences to his family. Rest in peace, my friend.
DVToolkit CSW File Available for Microsoft IIS ScStoragePathFromUrl Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2017-7269)
Earlier this week, TippingPoint released DVToolkit CSW file CVE-2017-7269.csw. This filter detects a buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). The specific flaw is due to how the ScStoragePathFromUrl function handles an overly long IF header. A successful attack could result in arbitrary code execution. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. This CSW filter will be replaced by DV mainline filter 27643.
