security flaw

Various routines for the ppc64 architecture on Linux kernel 2.6 prior to 2.6.2 and 2.4 prior to 2.4.24 do not use the copy_from_user function when copying data from userspace to kernelspace, which crosses security boundaries and allows local users to cause a denial of service.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in micq client 0.4.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long Description field.

security flaw

The mremap system call (do_mremap) in Linux kernel 2.4.x before 2.4.21, and possibly other versions before 2.4.24, does not properly perform bounds checks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges by causing a remapping of a virtual memory area (VMA) to create a zero length VMA, a different vulnerability than CAN-2004-0077.

security flaw

Format string vulnerability in the logging function for the pam_ldap PAM LDAP module before version 144 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via format strings in the configuration file name.

security flaw

Real time clock (RTC) routines in Linux kernel 2.4.23 and earlier do not properly initialize their structures, which could leak kernel data to user space.

security flaw

CVS server before 1.11.10 may allow attackers to cause the CVS server to create directories and files in the file system root directory via malformed module requests.

security flaw

ghostscript before 6.53 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by using .locksafe or .setsafe to reset the current pagedevice.

security flaw

Unknown vulnerability in mod_python 3.0.x before 3.0.4, and 2.7.x before 2.7.9, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (httpd crash) via a certain query string.

security flaw

Format string vulnerability in print_client in icecast 1.3.8beta2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

security flaw

GnuPG (GPG) 1.0.2, and other versions up to 1.2.3, creates ElGamal type 20 (sign+encrypt) keys using the same key component for encryption as for signing, which allows attackers to determine the private key from a signature.

security flaw

The XMLHttpRequest object (XMLHTTP) in Netscape 6.1 and Mozilla 0.9.7 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and list directories on a client system by opening a URL that redirects the browser to the file on the client, then reading the result using the responseText property.

security flaw

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the admin CGI script for Mailman before 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to steal session cookies and conduct unauthorized activities.

The X font server xfs in Red Hat Linux 6.x allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via a malformed request.

security flaw

Buffer overflows in (1) try_netscape_proxy and (2) try_squid_eplf for lftp 2.6.9 and earlier allow remote HTTP servers to execute arbitrary code via long directory names that are processed by the ls or rels commands.

The ping command in Linux 2.0.3x allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending large packets with the -R (record route) option.

security flaw

The ASN.1 parser in Ethereal 0.9.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a certain malformed packet, which causes Ethereal to allocate memory incorrectly, possibly due to zero-length fields.

security flaw

Heap-based buffer overflow in rsync before 2.5.7, when running in server mode, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and possibly escape the chroot jail.

security flaw

gnuserv before 3.12, as shipped with XEmacs, does not properly check the specified length of an X Windows MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE cookie, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a buffer overflow, or brute force authentication by using a short cookie length.

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

security flaw

Integer overflow in the do_brk function for the brk system call in Linux kernel 2.4.22 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges.
