TITLE:
Second Life URI Handler Registration Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26845

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26845/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Second Life 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/10367/

DESCRIPTION:
pdp has reported a vulnerability in Second Life, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose certain sensitive
information.

The problem is that SecondLife registers the "secondlife://" URI
handler and allows invoking SecondLife with arbitrary command line
arguments. Using e.g. the "-autologin" and "-loginuri" parameters, it
is possible to gain knowledge of e.g. a user's username and password
hash by specifying a malicious server.

Successful exploitation requires that a user e.g. is tricked into
visiting a malicious website.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted websites.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
