SecLists.Org Security Mailing List Archive
Any hacker will tell you that the latest news and exploits are not found on any web site—not even Insecure.Org. No, the cutting edge in security research is and will continue to be the full disclosure mailing lists such as Bugtraq. Here we provide web archives and RSS feeds (now including message extracts), updated in real-time, for many of our favorite lists.

Windows 10/11: Ncat: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer ... Ken Kayser (Feb 20)
*Describe the bug*
When listening to a port with ncat, as soon as a UDP packet is received, I
receive a constant stream of errors with the following text: "Ncat: A
message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message
buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a
datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself. ."

Reverse DNS (issue #3007) Matteo Nicoli (Feb 13)
Hi all,
I noticed a cool feature proposal on GitHub (issue 3007 <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3007>). It basically
suggests a new feature for returning the (complete) list of DNS records obtained — through reverse DNS lookups — from
an IP address. If it matches with the map product roadmap, I’d like to start implementing it. Is there some maintainer
who could give me a brief feedback about it?
Cheers,
Matteo
Re: Mail stoppage Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Feb 12)
Yes, this was my fault. Mail to the Nmap dev list from non-subscribers
goes through moderation to keep out the spam. I regularly go through the
moderation queue to find and approve the "real" messages, but I was a bit
slow this time. We strongly recommend that folks posting to the list first
subscribe to it. This avoids the moderation delay and prevents them from
missing any responses which might only be sent to the list.
Cheers,...

PR #2954, Fix out of bounds reads in packet parsing Domen Puncer Kugler via dev (Feb 12)
Hi,
I've submitted a pull request a few months ago:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2954
The PR includes following three commits:
- Fix out of bounds read in HopByHopHeader::validate
- Fix out of bounds read in PacketParser::split
- Add AFL test code for PacketParser
This was found as a part of a short Hackathon at NCC Group.
As far as I can tell, there is no security impact, but it would still be nice
to see this fixed.
Kind regards
High-Priority HTML Parsing script astrotoki via dev (Feb 12)
Hello,
I noticed that under the high priority script ideas was the need for a library that parses HTML info from sites. I
wrote a script that uses a web crawler and extracts html info from attached pages and accompanying urls within the html
body. Let me know if this is what yall were after?

This isn't really a problem a vendor can solve in firmware (apart from

Even if they would enable TLS/SSL by default, it would just give one a
false sense of security, since:

- they would be easy to clone (due to being self-signed and/or being easy

Bugtraq — The premier general security mailing list. Vulnerabilities are often announced here first, so check frequently!
Security Basics — A high-volume list which permits people to ask "stupid questions" without being derided as "n00bs". I recommend this list to network security newbies, but be sure to read Bugtraq and other lists as well.
Penetration Testing — While this list is intended for "professionals", participants frequenly disclose techniques and strategies that would be useful to anyone with a practical interest in security and network auditing.
Info Security News — Carries news items (generally from mainstream sources) that relate to security.
IDS Focus — Technical discussion about Intrusion Detection Systems. You can also read the archives of a previous IDS list
Web App Security — Provides insights on the unique challenges which make web applications notoriously hard to secure, as well as attack methods including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery, and more.
Daily Dave — This technical discussion list covers vulnerability research, exploit development, and security events/gossip. It was started by ImmunitySec founder Dave Aitel and many security luminaries participate. Many posts simply advertise Immunity products, but you can't really fault Dave for being self-promotional on a list named DailyDave.

was fixed. But usually you get "a commit where it maybe existed".

successful at finding crashes. Somebody that needs to light a fire and

Memories and thoughts are the same thing, someone tried to explain to me

[kubernetes] CVE-2024-7598: Network restriction bypass via race condition during namespace termination Craig Ingram (Mar 20)
Hello Kubernetes Community,
A security issue was discovered in Kubernetes where a malicious or

policies during namespace deletion. The order in which objects are deleted
during namespace termination is not defined, and it is possible for network
policies to be deleted before the pods that they protect. This can lead to
a brief period in which the pods are running, but network...

schemas (better than DTDs, but suck), protobufs (very limited), UML

No idea about this from the network perspective, but I want to point out
they started intermittently blocking Tor about the same time they had
their third-party app tantrum (i.e. early 2023). You get HTTP 429 and a
blank screen. Presumably they're not explicitly blocking Tor, but also
not exempting it from standard rate limits, making it useless if other

ET is Emerging Threats, not Snort.
Your issue may be related to this issue,
https://community.emergingthreats.net/t/rule-failed-error/2471 . Your Snort
engine version is supported but there may be something related.

In the update from 2025_02_21 the following rules are crashing all my sensors.
To fix this I had to put all the following rules into disablesid.conf to get sensors running.

Snort IPS in Cisco ISR 4331 Router? Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming via Snort-devel (Feb 18)
Subject: Snort IPS in Cisco ISR 4331 Router?
Good day from Singapore,
On the Software Downloads page for Cisco ISR 4331 router, link as follows:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/routers/4331-integrated-services-router-isr/model.html#~tab-downloads
I saw UTD Snort IPS Engine Software.
Is it an installer for the Snort IPS engine on Cisco ISR 4331 router?
Can I really install and deploy Snort IPS on a Cisco ISR 4331 router?
Thank you....
