Security Bulletins ID: SB10018
Last Modified: January 20, 2012
Affected Software: McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection 5.2.3 and earlier
Description: This update fixes an issue in the Rumor technology utilized by McAfee’s SaaS Endpoint Protection. Rumor is a Peer-to-Peer technology used to allow several machines on a closed network to quickly distribute updates from a single network connection. The result of the misuse of the Rumor service is that an attacker could use an affected machine as a proxy. This can result in spam being sent as the machine acts similar to an “open relay”.
Remediation: Ensure that your systems are online and available to recieve updates. Patches and other updates for SaaS Endpoint are automatically sent through a phased roll-out from the McAfee Network Operations Center (NOC). This patch is being sent on an expedited schedule and should be delivered to all endpoint systems before January 30, 2012..."

Feb0 14, 2012 9:29 pm - "Computers running Microsoft‘s antivirus and security software may be flagging google.com — the world’s most-visited Web site — as malicious, apparently due to a faulty Valentine’s Day security update shipped by Microsoft. Microsoft's antivirus software flagged google.com as bad. Not long after Microsoft released software security updates on Tuesday, the company’s Technet support forums lit up with complaints about Internet Explorer sounding the malware alarm when users visited google.com. The alerts appear to be the result of a “false positive” detection shipped to users of Microsoft’s antivirus and security products, most notably its Forefront technology and free “Security Essentials” antivirus software..."

ASLR to be mandatory - Firefox extensions
- http://h-online.com/-1443131
27 Feb 2012 - "A patch that was recently introduced to the Firefox repository is designed to make the browser more secure by forcing certain binary extensions to use ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomisation) under Windows. The Mozilla developers say that the change, which will prevent XPCOM (Cross Platform Component Object Module) component DLLs without ASLR from loading, should be included in Firefox 13 "if no unexpected problems arise". This could, for example, affect products from anti-virus firms Symantec and McAfee. As recently as last year, these products were noted installing DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) that were compiled without ASLR in the browser, enabling malware to predict with relative ease the memory addresses that are used for heap and stack areas by the DLLs. ASLR is designed to randomise all memory addresses, so that the program components in question will be placed in different locations each time they start..."

According to US-CERT*, versions 5.5 and 6.0 of the Trend Micro Control Manager are vulnerable. The company has provided patches** for both affected versions. The vulnerability in question concerns a blind SQL injection attack which means the web frontend does not divulge any information from the database. According to a report by security consulting firm Spentera which includes a proof-of-concept, the vulnerable system can be made to leak information like password hashes by analysing the timing of SQL queries."
