The mod_auth_shadow module 1.4 and earlier does not properly enforce the expiration of a user account and password, which could allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions.

Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6 SP1 allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions via a javascript protocol URL in a sub-frame, which is added to the history list and executed in the top window's zone when the history.back (back) function is called, as demonstrated by BackToFramedJpu, aka the "Travel Log Cross Domain Vulnerability."

security flaw

rsync, when running in daemon mode, does not properly call setgroups before dropping privileges, which could provide supplemental group privileges to local users, who could then read certain files that would otherwise be disallowed.

madvise_remove in Linux kernel 2.6.16 up to 2.6.16.6 does not follow file and mmap restrictions, which allows local users to bypass IPC permissions and replace portions of readonly tmpfs files with zeroes, aka the MADV_REMOVE vulnerability. NOTE: this description was originally written in a way that combined two separate issues. The mprotect issue now has a separate name, CVE-2006-2071.

The (1) ipq_read and (2) ipulog_read functions in iptables allow local users to cause a denial of service by sending spoofed messages as other users to the kernel netlink interface.

Microsoft SQL Server 7, 2000, and MSDE allows local users to gain privileges by hijacking a named pipe during the authentication of another user, aka the "Named Pipe Hijacking" vulnerability.

The installer in Yahoo! Messenger 4.0, 5.0 and 5.5 does not verify package signatures which could allow remote attackers to install trojan programs via DNS spoofing.

jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor in the jmx-console in the JBoss web application server, as shipped with Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System (CS-MARS) before 4.2.1, allows remote attackers to gain privileges as the CS-MARS administrator and execute arbitrary Java code via an invokeOp action in the BSHDeployer jboss.scripts service name.

A Windows NT 4.0 user can gain administrative rights by forcing NtOpenProcessToken to succeed regardless of the user's permissions, aka GetAdmin.

The RPC module in Webmin 0.21 through 0.99, when installed without root or admin privileges, allows remote attackers to read and write to arbitrary files and execute arbitrary commands via remote_foreign_require and remote_foreign_call requests.

A Windows NT user can disable the keyboard or mouse by directly calling the IOCTLs which control them.

Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 3.51.759.6511 (462), as used in (1) Lavasoft Personal Firewall 1.0.543.5722 (433) and (2) Novell BorderManager Novell Client Firewall 2.0, does not properly restrict user activities in application windows that run in a LocalSystem context, which allows local users to gain privileges and execute commands (a) via the "open folder" option when no instance of explorer.exe is running, possibly related to the ShellExecute API function; or (b) by overwriting a batch file through the "Save Configuration As" option. NOTE: this might be a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows and explorer.exe instead of the firewall.

The (1) ftpd and (2) ksu programs in (a) MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) up to 1.5, and 1.4.x before 1.4.4, and (b) Heimdal 0.7.2 and earlier, do not check return codes for setuid calls, which might allow local users to gain privileges by causing setuid to fail to drop privileges. NOTE: as of 20060808, it is not known whether an exploitable attack scenario exists for these issues.

HAMweather 2.x allows remote attackers to modify administrative settings and obtain sensitive information via a direct request to hwadmin.cgi.

Ensim WEBppliance 3.0 and 3.1 allows remote attackers to read mail intended for other users by defining an alias that is the target's email address.

Joe text editor 2.8 through 2.9.7 does not remove the group and user setuid bits for backup files, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary setuid and setgid root programs when root edits scripts owned by other users.

Unspecified vulnerability in the environmental monitoring subsystem in Solaris 8 running on Sun Fire 280R, V480 and V880 allows local users to cause a denial of service by setting volatile properties.

The "System Restore" directory and subdirectories, and possibly other subdirectories in the "System Volume Information" directory on Windows XP Professional, have insecure access control list (ACL) permissions, which allows local users to access restricted files and modify registry settings.

MySimpleNews 1.0 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary email messages via a direct request to vider.php3.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and possibly others allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary file contents when users press a key corresponding to the JavaScript (1) event.ctrlKey or (2) event.shiftKey onkeydown event contained in a webpage. NOTE: it was reported that the vendor has disputed the severity of this issue.
