kernel: perf_swevent_enabled array out-of-bound access

The perf_swevent_init function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted perf_event_open system call.

libvips extract.c vips_extract_area_build integer overflow

A vulnerability was found in libvips 8.19.0. Impacted is the function vips_extract_area_build of the file libvips/conversion/extract.c.

The patch is identified as 24795bb3d19d84f7b6f5ed86451ad556c8f2fe70. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue.

xlnt-community xlnt Encrypted XLSX File base64.cpp decode_base64 off-by-one

A weakness has been identified in xlnt-community xlnt up to 1.6.1. Impacted is the function xlnt::detail::decode_base64 of the file source/detail/cryptography/base64.cpp of the component Encrypted XLSX File Parser. Executing a manipulation can lead to off-by-one. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This patch is called f2d7bf494e5c52706843cf7eb9892821bffb0734. Applying a patch is advised to resolve this issue.

Multiple integer overflows in Apple QuickTime before 7.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime movie (.MOV).

Integer overflow in Apple QuickTime Player before 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG image.

Multiple integer overflows in Apple QuickTime before 7.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime H.264 (M4V) video format file.

Integer overflow in the AAC file parsing code in Apple iTunes before 6.0.5 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later, and Windows XP and 2000, allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an AAC (M4P, M4A, or M4B) file with a sample table size (STSZ) atom with a "malformed" sample_size_table value.

Integer overflow in ImageIO in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 up to 10.4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted JPEG image with malformed JPEG metadata, as demonstrated using Safari, aka "Deja-Doom".

security flaw

Integer overflow in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5.0.2 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number in the CSS letter-spacing property that leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

security flaw

Integer overflow in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary bytecode via JavaScript with a large regular expression.

Integer signedness error in Opera before 8.54 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long values in a stylesheet attribute, which pass a length check. NOTE: a sign extension problem makes the attack easier with shorter strings.

freetype: multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities

Multiple integer overflows in FreeType before 2.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via attack vectors related to (1) bdf/bdflib.c, (2) sfnt/ttcmap.c, (3) cff/cffgload.c, and (4) the read_lwfn function and a crafted LWFN file in base/ftmac.c. NOTE: item 4 was originally identified by CVE-2006-2493.

Integer overflow in wv2 before 0.2.3 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Microsoft Word document.

Multiple integer overflows in the DPRPC library (DPRPCNLM.NLM) NDPS/iPrint module in Novell Distributed Print Services in Novell NetWare 6.5 SP3, SP4, and SP5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an XDR encoded array with a field that specifies a large number of elements, which triggers the overflows in the ndps_xdr_array function.

Integer overflow in the PolyPolygon function in Graphics Rendering Engine on Microsoft Windows 98 and Me allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Windows Metafile (WMF) or EMF image with a sum of entries in the vertext counts array and number of polygons that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

security flaw

parse-packet.c in GnuPG (gpg) 1.4.3 and 1.9.20, and earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (gpg crash) and possibly overwrite memory via a message packet with a large length (long user ID string), which could lead to an integer overflow, as demonstrated using the --no-armor option.

Off-by-one buffer overflow in the Instance_options::complete_initialization function in instance_options.cc in the Instance Manager in MySQL before 5.0.23 and 5.1 before 5.1.12 might allow local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors, which triggers the overflow when the convert_dirname function is called. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue via e-mail to CVE, saying that it is only exploitable when the user has access to the configuration file or the Instance Manager daemon. Due to intended functionality, this level of access would already allow the user to disrupt program operation, so this does not cross security boundaries and is not a vulnerability

security flaw

Multiple off-by-one errors in Wireshark (aka Ethereal) 0.9.7 to 0.99.0 have unknown impact and remote attack vectors via the (1) NCP NMAS and (2) NDPS dissectors.

security flaw

Integer overflow in the format string functionality (Perl_sv_vcatpvfn) in Perl 5.9.2 and 5.8.6 Perl allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers with large values, which causes an integer wrap and leads to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using format string vulnerabilities in Perl applications.

security flaw

Integer overflow in the do_replace function in netfilter for Linux before 2.6.16-rc3, when using "virtualization solutions" such as OpenVZ, allows local users with CAP_NET_ADMIN rights to cause a buffer overflow in the copy_from_user function.
