Hackers Deface Popular Blog.
2005-02-03, HostMan.biz A bug found on a popular log file analysis program has been exploited by attackers, allowing them to deface a popular blog and other Web sites. Blogger Jeremy Zawodny (Jeremy.zawodny.com) reported Tuesday on his blog that his primary server had been hacked. The attackers submitted their defacement to a site that traces such exploits. In this case, "Infecktion Group" claimed responsibility and included screenshots of the defacements across four different subdomains attached to Zawodny.com (including family, twiki, textfiles, debian and Jeremy.zawodny.com). The defacement shows an image of a child crying with the caption, "This is my protest, this is my scream...you cannot close your eyes. The world have big problems and you wanna be more one?" Over 400 similar defacements have been reported in the past three days, however, it is unsure how many blogs have been attacked and if the same person is responsible for the attacks. The exploit, "AWStats 'configdir' Remote Command Execution Exploit", was publicly reported on January 17th by security firm iDefense. In its advisory, Defense stated that a remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in AWStats enables attackers to perform arbitrary commands under the privileges of the Web server. The AWstats project released version 6.3 on January 28th, which supposedly repairs the bug, while previous versions are all still at risk. |
