security flaw

Buffer overflow in man program in various distributions of Linux allows local user to execute arbitrary code as group man via a long -S option.

Buffer overflows in Linux cdwtools 093 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges.

security flaw

Multiple integer overflows in xpdf 2.0 and 3.0, and other packages that use xpdf code such as CUPS, gpdf, and kdegraphics, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified by CVE-2004-0889.

kfm as included with KDE 1.x can allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a symlink attack in the kfm cache directory in /tmp.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 on the S/390 platform does not properly handle a certain privileged instruction, which allows local users to gain root privileges.

The PPP wvdial.lxdialog script in wvdial 1.4 and earlier creates a .config file with world readable permissions, which allows a local attacker in the dialout group to access login and password information.

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.

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.

security flaw

Multiple integer overflows in libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) via TIFF images that lead to incorrect malloc calls.

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 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.

security flaw

Multiple vulnerabilities in the samba filesystem (smbfs) in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allow remote samba servers to cause a denial of service (crash) or gain sensitive information from kernel memory via a samba server (1) returning more data than requested to the smb_proc_read function, (2) returning a data offset from outside the samba packet to the smb_proc_readX function, (3) sending a certain TRANS2 fragmented packet to the smb_receive_trans2 function, (4) sending a samba packet with a certain header size to the smb_proc_readX_data function, or (5) sending a certain packet based offset for the data in a packet to the smb_receive_trans2 function.

Buffer overflow in dsh in dqs 3.2.7 in SuSE Linux 7.0 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges via a long first command line argument.

security flaw

Denial of service in Linux 2.2.x kernels via malformed ICMP packets containing unusual types, codes, and IP header lengths.

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

Buffer overflow in Dosemu Slang library in Linux.

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.

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.

Mozilla Firefox 0.9.2 allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains, such as .ltd.uk, .plc.uk, and .sch.uk, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session. NOTE: it was later reported that 2.x is also affected.

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.
