MSN Bot Plays on Controversy over Michael Jackson's DeathFollowing the sudden and shocking death of The King of Pop, Senior Threat Researcher Loucif Kharouni reports that a slew of malicious links related to Michael Jackson’s last moments in the hospital before his death are now being proliferated in the wild via the instant messaging (IM) application, MSN. Below is a sample screenshot of an MSN IM window containing various templates of the said malicious links:
When recipients of such messages click on any of these links, they are then prompted to save a file named PIC-IMG029-www.hi5.com.exe (with the MD5 checksum of 031429fc14151f94c8651a3fb110c19b), instead of being led to an image site or gallery. Initial analysis shows that the said file is a variant of the SDBOT family. More updates shortly. Stay tuned.

iDefense Security Advisory 06.26.09: HP Network Node Manager rping Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hash: SHA1
iDefense Security Advisory 06.26.09
http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/
Jun 26, 2009
I. BACKGROUND
HP Network Node Manager (NNM) is an application suite that is used to
map out and manage network topography. NNM runs on a variety of
platforms, including Linux and multiple versions of Windows. For more
information, see the vendor's site at the following link.
http://www.openview.hp.com/products/nnm/index.html
II. DESCRIPTION
Remote exploitation of a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in
Hewlett-Packard Development Co. LP (HP)'s Network Node Manager could
allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
affected service.
The vulnerability exists within the 'rping' application, which is
distributed with the Linux version of NNM. It is possible for a remote
attacker to launch the 'rping' application and trigger a stack based
buffer overflow.
III. ANALYSIS
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the affected service. On RedHat Enterprise
4, the application is started as the user 'bin'. 'rping' is not
compiled with compiler protections such as stack cookies or the -pie
flag, which makes exploitation less difficult.
IV. DETECTION
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Network
Node Manager version 7.53 for Linux. Previous versions may also be
affected. The Windows version is not affected.
V. WORKAROUND
By default, the webappmon.exe CGI application does not require a user to
be authenticated. By changing the session.conf file and setting
UserLogin to ON, it is possible to require valid credentials in order
to run. The 'ovhtpasswd' application can then be used to add valid
credentials.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
Hewlett-Packard Development Co. LP (HP) has released a patch which
addresses this issue. Directly downloadable vendor updates for this
report are accessible via the iDefense Intelligence web portal
(https://ialert.idefense.com) and the iDefense Intelligence XML web
service. Information about non-directly downloadable vendor updates can

VII. CVE INFORMATION
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CVE-2009-1420 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for
