security flaw

Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference.

liby2util in Yet another Setup Tool (YaST) in SUSE Linux before 20051007 preserves permissions and ownerships when copying a remote repository, which might allow local users to read or modify sensitive files, possibly giving local users the ability to exploit CVE-2005-3013.

The powersave daemon in SUSE Linux 10.0 before 20051007 has an unspecified "configuration problem," which allows local users to suspend the computer and possibly perform certain other unauthorized actions.

resmgr in SUSE Linux 9.2 and 9.3, and possibly other distributions, allows local users to bypass access control rules for USB devices via "alternate syntax for specifying USB devices."

resmgr in SUSE Linux 9.2 and 9.3, and possibly other distributions, does not properly enforce class-specific exclude rules in some situations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions for USB devices that set their class ID at the interface level.

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0, and possibly other distributions, cause the working directory to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) beagle, (2) tomboy, or (3) blam. NOTE: in August 2007, the tomboy vector was reported for other distributions.

Buffer overflow in the realpath function in nfs-server rpc.mountd, as used in SUSE Linux 9.1 through 10.0, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving mount requests and symlinks.

ld in SUSE Linux 9.1 through 10.0, and SLES 9, in certain circumstances when linking binaries, can leave an empty RPATH or RUNPATH, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as other users via by running an ld-linked application from the current directory, which could contain an attacker-controlled library file.

X.Org server (xorg-server) 1.0.0 and later, X11R6.9.0, and X11R7.0 inadvertently treats the address of the geteuid function as if it is the return value of a call to geteuid, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions and (1) execute arbitrary code via the -modulepath command line option or (2) overwrite arbitrary files via -logfile.

The signature verification functionality in the YaST Online Update (YOU) script handling relies on a gpg feature that is not intended for signature verification, which prevents YOU from detecting malicious scripts or code that do not pass the signature check when gpg 1.4.x is being used.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the xsp component in mod_mono in Mono/C# web server, as used in SUSE Open-Enterprise-Server 1 and SUSE Linux 9.2 through 10.0, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence in an HTTP request.

The RedCarpet command-line client (rug) does not verify SSL certificates from a server, which allows remote attackers to read network traffic and execute commands via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

The RedCarpet /etc/ximian/rcd.conf configuration file in Novell Linux Desktop 9 and SUSE SLES 9 has world-readable permissions, which allows attackers to obtain the rc (RedCarpet) password.

security flaw

Stack-based buffer overflow in the writeGroup function in nsVCardObj.cpp for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed VCard attachments that are not properly handled when previewing a message.

SuSE 5.2 PLP lpc program has a buffer overflow that leads to root compromise.

Buffer overflow in Dosemu Slang library in Linux.

A buffer overflow in lsof allows local users to obtain root privilege.

Buffer overflow in gnuplot in Linux version 3.5 allows local users to obtain root access.

The default permissions of /dev/kmem in Linux versions before 2.0.36 allows IP spoofing.

XFree86 startx command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.
