From my research I have found that the hole can not be exploited unless
the socks are being used. If you also use proper and clean shoes then you should be safe from exploits on the street. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk [mailto:full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk] On Behalf Of Peter Bruderer Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 12:10 PM To: full-disclosure () lists grok org uk Subject: RE: [Full-disclosure] Secuirty Hole Found In Dave's Sock This hole must be a general misconception of the product. After checking my socks I found a hole in all of them! They are all size 9 1/2. My questions: Has sombody already detected a working exploit for this hole in the wild? Can this hole be exploited if the socks are laying on a shelf in a cabinet? Can somebody exploit the hole on the street, while I'm wearing the socks?

The sock came with the factory installed configuration. This hole is not part of that configuration and there is no mechanism in the origial configuration to close this one off. *************************************************************** Dave D.

with
one hole, used for deployment. Are you reporting the existence of a second hole, or is this an observation of the factory installed
default
configuration? My recommendation is to isolate the sock until a full forensic examination can be performed. Just another thought, Tobin -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk <full-disclosure-bounces () lists grok org uk> To: full-disclosure () lists grok org uk <full-disclosure () lists grok org uk> Sent: Thu Sep 08 12:10:28 2005 Subject: [Full-disclosure] Secuirty Hole Found In Dave's Sock Date: 9/8/2005 Vulnerability Found: Hole In Dave's Socket Affected System: Dave's Right Sock Severity: Rating: Moderately Critical Impact: System access Where: Foot Description of Vulnerability: This morning while putting my socks on
I
found a small (1/4 inch) hole by my big toe. This could be exploited
by
a virus through the bottom of the foot or under the toe nail. This
could
be used to compromise Dave's entire system. Solution: No permanent solution is currently available. A work around
is
to wear the sock on the other foot to have the hole above the small
toe
where it will not be furthur enlarged, it will proboably fold over and partially cover the vulnerability. Permanent solution coming in either
a
sock darning or upgrading the unit to a new sock. Time Table: Found at 7:48am on Sept 8th, 1005 Work around figured out at 7:49am on Sept 8th, 2005 Permanent Solution Pending Credits: Found by Dave References: No references available. *************************************************************** Dave D.
