Buffer overflow in uum program for Canna input system allows local users to gain root privileges.

security flaw

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unknown attack vectors.

security flaw

The load_elf_binary function in the binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly check return values from calls to the kernel_read function, which may allow local users to modify sensitive memory in a setuid program and execute arbitrary code.

security flaw

The binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly handle a failed call to the mmap function, which causes an incorrect mapped image and may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.

security flaw

The binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, may create an interpreter name string that is not NULL terminated, which could cause strings longer than PATH_MAX to be used, leading to buffer overflows that allow local users to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

security flaw

The open_exec function in the execve functionality (exec.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, allows local users to read non-readable ELF binaries by using the interpreter (PT_INTERP) functionality.

security flaw

The binfmt functionality in the Linux kernel, when "memory overcommit" is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a malformed a.out binary.

security flaw

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via "a corrupt section header."

security flaw

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a null dereference.

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by causing mc to free unallocated memory.

security flaw

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via "use of already freed memory."

security flaw

direntry.c in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service by "manipulating non-existing file handles."

security flaw

fish.c in midnight commander allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via "insecure filename quoting," possibly using shell metacharacters.

security flaw

Buffer underflow in extfs.c in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

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

Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.

security flaw

The CCITTFaxStream::CCITTFaxStream function in Stream.cc for xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others allows attackers to corrupt the heap via negative or large integers in a CCITTFaxDecode stream, which lead to integer overflows and integer underflows.

security flaw

Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via streams that end prematurely, as demonstrated using the (1) CCITTFaxDecode and (2) DCTDecode streams, aka "Infinite CPU spins."

security flaw

Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference.

security flaw

Multiple buffer overflows in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allow remote attackers to have an unknown impact.
