security flaw

Stack-based buffer overflow in shar in GNU sharutils 4.2.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -o command line argument.

Buffer overflow in the Braille module for GNU screen 3.9.11, when HAVE_BRAILLE is defined, allows local users to execute arbitrary code.

Land IP denial of service.

The AuthenticationDialogue function in cfservd for Cfengine 2.0.0 to 2.1.7p1 does not properly check the return value of the ReceiveTransaction function, which leads to a failed malloc call and triggers to a null dereference, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

security flaw

Directory traversal vulnerability in wget before 1.8.2-4 allows a remote FTP server to create or overwrite files as the wget user via filenames containing (1) /absolute/path or (2) .. (dot dot) sequences.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the AuthenticationDialogue function in cfservd for Cfengine 2.0.0 to 2.1.7p1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long SAUTH command during RSA authentication.

The -ftrapv compiler option in gcc and g++ 3.3.3 and earlier does not handle all types of integer overflows, which may leave applications vulnerable to vulnerabilities related to overflows.

security flaw

wget 1.8.x and 1.9.x does not filter or quote control characters when displaying HTTP responses to the terminal, which may allow remote malicious web servers to inject terminal escape sequences and execute arbitrary code.

security flaw

wget 1.8.x and 1.9.x allows a remote malicious web server to overwrite certain files via a redirection URL containing a ".." that resolves to the IP address of the malicious server, which bypasses wget's filtering for ".." sequences.

The Sun RPC functionality in multiple libc implementations does not provide a time-out mechanism when reading data from TCP connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang).

GNU make follows symlinks when it reads a Makefile from stdin, which allows other local users to execute commands.

Buffer overflow in the TFTP client in InetUtils 1.4.2 allows remote malicious DNS servers to execute arbitrary code via a large DNS response that is handled by the gethostbyname function.

security flaw

GNU glibc 2.3.4 before 2.3.4.20040619, 2.3.3 before 2.3.3.20040420, and 2.3.2 before 2.3.2-r10 does not restrict the use of LD_DEBUG for a setuid program, which allows local users to gain sensitive information, such as the list of symbols used by the program.

security flaw

GNU tar 1.13.19 and other versions before 1.13.25 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack, as the result of a modification that effectively disabled the security check.

security flaw

The glibcbug script in glibc 2.3.4 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0968.

The (1) fixps (aka fixps.in) and (2) psmandup (aka psmandup.in) scripts in a2ps before 4.13 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

security flaw

The BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and other libraries such as glibc 2.2.5 and earlier, libc, and libresolv, use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual size when processing a DNS response, which causes the stub resolvers to read past the actual boundary ("read buffer overflow"), allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

security flaw

GNU ed before 0.2-18.1 allows local users to overwrite the files of other users via a symlink attack.

gzip before 1.3 in Solaris 8, when called with the -f or -force flags, will change the permissions of files that are hard linked to the target files, which allows local users to view or modify these files.

security flaw

Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Mailman before 2.0.12 allows remote attackers to execute script as other users via a subscriber's list subscription options in the (1) adminpw or (2) info parameters to the ml-name feature.
