OpenJDK OpenType checks can be bypassed (6736293)

The Java Management Extensions (JMX) implementation in Sun Java SE 6 before Update 15, and OpenJDK, does not properly enforce OpenType checks, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging finalizer resurrection to obtain a reference to a privileged object.

The pam_unix module in OpenPAM in NetBSD 4.0 before 4.0.2 and 5.0 before 5.0.1 allows local users to change the current root password if it is already known, even when they are not in the wheel group.

system/message.php in Admin News Tools 2.5 does not properly restrict access, which allows remote attackers to post news messages via a direct request.

NOS Microsystems getPlus Download Manager, as used in Adobe Reader 1.6.2.36 and possibly other versions, Corel getPlus Download Manager before 1.5.0.48, and possibly other products, installs NOS\bin\getPlus_HelperSvc.exe with insecure permissions (Everyone:Full Control), which allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges by replacing getPlus_HelperSvc.exe with a Trojan horse program, as demonstrated by use of getPlus Download Manager within Adobe Reader. NOTE: within Adobe Reader, the scope of this issue is limited because the program is deleted and the associated service is not automatically launched after a successful installation and reboot.

index.php in MiniTwitter 0.2 beta allows remote authenticated users to modify certain options of arbitrary accounts via an opt action.

R2 Newsletter Lite, Pro, and Stats stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download the database file via a direct request for admin.mdb.

ASP Football Pool 2.3 stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download the database file via a direct request for NFL.mdb.

Clientless SSL VPN products break web browser domain-based security models

Multiple clientless SSL VPN products that run in web browsers, including Stonesoft StoneGate; Cisco ASA; SonicWALL E-Class SSL VPN and SonicWALL SSL VPN; SafeNet SecureWire Access Gateway; Juniper Networks Secure Access; Nortel CallPilot; Citrix Access Gateway; and other products, when running in configurations that do not restrict access to the same domain as the VPN, retrieve the content of remote URLs from one domain and rewrite them so they originate from the VPN's domain, which violates the same origin policy and allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, read cookies that originated from other domains, access the Web VPN session to gain access to internal resources, perform key logging, and conduct other attacks. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a fundamental design problem in any clientless VPN solution, as opposed to a commonly-introduced error that can be fixed in separate implementations. Therefore a single CVE has been assigned for all products that have this design

FlashDen Guestbook allows remote attackers to obtain configuration information via a direct request to amfphp/phpinfo.php, which calls the phpinfo function.

The IATA (ata) driver in FreeBSD 6.0 and 8.0, when read access to /dev is available, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a certain IOCTL request with a large count, which triggers a malloc call with a large value.

The NtUserConsoleControl function in win32k.sys in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 before SP1, allows local administrators to bypass unspecified "security software" and gain privileges via a crafted call that triggers an overwrite of an arbitrary memory location. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that 'the Administrator to SYSTEM "escalation" is not a security boundary we defend.

nilfs-utils before 2.0.14 installs multiple programs with unnecessary setuid privileges, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via the device string in a -c command line option to mkfs.nilfs2.

A certain debugging component in IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 does not properly handle the (1) _LIB_INIT_DBG and (2) _LIB_INIT_DBG_FILE environment variables, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a setuid-root program to create an arbitrary root-owned file with world-writable permissions, related to libC.a (aka the XL C++ runtime library) in AIX 5.3 and libc.a in AIX 6.1.

OpenJDK Untrusted applet System properties access (6738524)

The audio system in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 15, and JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 20, does not prevent access to java.lang.System properties by (1) untrusted applets and (2) Java Web Start applications, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading these properties.

OpenJDK Proxy mechanism information leaks (6801071)

The proxy mechanism implementation in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 15, and JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 20, does not prevent access to browser cookies by untrusted (1) applets and (2) Java Web Start applications, which allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via unspecified vectors.

The ImageCache module 5.x before 5.x-2.5 and 6.x before 6.x-2.0-beta10, a module for Drupal, when the private file system is used, does not properly perform access control for derivative images, which allows remote attackers to view arbitrary images via a request that specifies an image's filename.

postgresql: SQL privilege escalation, incomplete fix for CVE-2007-6600

The core server component in PostgreSQL 8.4 before 8.4.1, 8.3 before 8.3.8, 8.2 before 8.2.14, 8.1 before 8.1.18, 8.0 before 8.0.22, and 7.4 before 7.4.26 does not use the appropriate privileges for the (1) RESET ROLE and (2) RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION operations, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges. NOTE: this is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-6600.

include/utils/ListViewUtils.php in vtiger CRM before 5.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and read the (1) visibility, (2) location, and (3) recurrence fields of a calendar via a custom view.

vtiger CRM before 5.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to bypass the permissions on the (1) Account Billing Address and (2) Shipping Address fields in a profile by creating a Sales Order (SO) associated with that profile.

vtiger CRM before 5.1.0 allows remote authenticated users, with certain View privileges, to delete (1) attachments, (2) reports, (3) filters, (4) views, and (5) tickets; insert (6) attachments, (7) reports, (8) filters, (9) views, and (10) tickets; and edit (11) reports, (12) filters, (13) views, and (14) tickets via unspecified vectors.
