The more severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker sent a specially crafted HTTP request to an ADFS-enabled Web server. An attacker would need to be an authenticated user in order to exploit either of these vulnerabilities. This security update is rated Important for affected releases of Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section. The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting the validation that ADFS-enabled Web servers apply to request headers submitted by a Web client. For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information. Affected Software Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Service Pack 2 Windows Server 2008 for 32-bit Systems and Windows Server 2008 for 32-bit Systems Service Pack 2 Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems and Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems Service Pack 2 Vulnerability Information Single Sign On Spoofing in ADFS Vulnerability - CVE-2009-2508 A spoofing vulnerability in Active Directory Federation Services could allow an attacker to impersonate an authenticated user if the attacker has access to a workstation and Web browser recently used by the targeted user to access a Web site that offers single sign on. Remote Code Execution in ADFS Vulnerability - CVE-2009-2509 A remote code execution vulnerability exists in implementations of Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). The vulnerability is due to incorrect validation of request headers when an authenticated user connects to an ADFS enabled Web server. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
