security flaw

Floating point information leak in the context switch code for Linux 2.4.x only checks the MFH bit but does not verify the FPH owner, which allows local users to read register values of other processes by setting the MFH bit.

ksymoops-gznm script in Mandrake Linux 9.1 through 10.0, and Corporate Server 2.1, allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on files in /tmp.

security flaw

Insecure permissions for the /proc/scsi/qla2300/HbaApiNode file in Linux allows local users to cause a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in the BMP loader in imlib2 before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially-crafted BMP image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0817.

Buffer overflow in layer2.c in mpg123 0.59r and possibly mpg123 0.59s allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain (1) mp3 or (2) mp2 file.

security flaw

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the imlib BMP image handler allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.

security flaw

Multiple buffer overflows in the ImageMagick graphics library 5.x before 5.4.4, and 6.x before 6.0.6.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed (1) AVI, (2) BMP, or (3) DIB files.

Format string vulnerability in Speedtouch USB driver before 1.3.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) modem_run, (2) pppoa2, or (3) pppoa3.

The netatalk package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

security flaw

The der_chop script in the openssl package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

security flaw

The make_oidjoins_check script in PostgreSQL 7.4.5 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

security flaw

The CGI module in Ruby 1.6 before 1.6.8, and 1.8 before 1.8.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a certain HTTP request.

security flaw

statd in nfs-utils 1.257 and earlier does not ignore the SIGPIPE signal, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server process crash) via a TCP connection that is prematurely terminated.

CVE-2004-1051 bash scripts run via Sudo can be subverted (CVE-2005-4158, CVE-2006-0151)

sudo before 1.6.8p2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by using "()" style environment variables to create functions that have the same name as any program within the bash script that is called without using the program's full pathname.

MIMEDefang in MIME-tools 5.414 allows remote attackers to bypass virus scanning capabilities via an e-mail attachment with a virus that contains an empty boundary string in the Content-Type header.

Unknown vulnerability in the rwho daemon (rwhod) before 0.17, on little endian architectures, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).

security flaw

Race condition in the (1) load_elf_library and (2) binfmt_aout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.

security flaw

sdiff 2.7 in the diffutils package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

security flaw

libuser 0.51.7 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or disk consumption) via unknown attack vectors, related to read failures and other bugs.

Off-by-one error in passwd 0.68 and earlier, when using the --stdin option, causes passwd to use the first 78 characters of a password instead of the first 79, which results in a small reduction of the search space required for brute force attacks.
