samba: Race condition by mount (mount.cifs) operations

client/mount.cifs.c in mount.cifs in smbfs in Samba 3.0.22, 3.0.28a, 3.2.3, 3.3.2, 3.4.0, and 3.4.5 allows local users to mount a CIFS share on an arbitrary mountpoint, and gain privileges, via a symlink attack on the mountpoint directory file.

The runtime linker in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5.0 before Service Pack 1 does not properly clear the LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT and LD_DEBUG environment variables when a program is spawned from a setuid program, which allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

Exim: privilege escalation

The open_log function in log.c in Exim 4.72 and earlier does not check the return value from (1) setuid or (2) setgid system calls, which allows local users to append log data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

xorg-x11-server: File existence disclosure vulnerability

The LockServer function in os/utils.c in X.Org xserver before 1.11.2 allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary lock file, which is handled differently if the file exists.

spice-xpi: symlink attack on usbrdrctl log file

The SPICE Firefox plug-in (spice-xpi) 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, and possibly other versions allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the usbrdrctl log file, which has a predictable name.

pimd 2.1.5 and possibly earlier versions allows user-assisted local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) pimd.dump when a USR1 signal is sent, or (2) pimd.cache when USR2 is sent.

ocrodjvu 0.4.6-1 on Debian GNU/Linux allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files that are generated when Cuneiform is invoked as the OCR engine.

The getSkillname function in the eve module in Conky 1.8.1 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/.cesf.

The configure script in gnash 0.8.8 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/gnash-configure-errors.$$, (2) /tmp/gnash-configure-warnings.$$, or (3) /tmp/gnash-configure-recommended.$$ files.

fuse: unprivileged user can unmount arbitrary locations via symlink attack

FUSE, possibly 2.8.5 and earlier, allows local users to create mtab entries with arbitrary pathnames, and consequently unmount any filesystem, via a symlink attack on the parent directory of the mountpoint of a FUSE filesystem, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0789.

glibc: ld.so insecure handling of $ORIGIN in LD_AUDIT for setuid/setgid programs

elf/dl-load.c in ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.11.2, and 2.12.x through 2.12.1, does not properly handle a value of $ORIGIN for the LD_AUDIT environment variable, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted dynamic shared object (DSO) located in an arbitrary directory.

JBoss drools deserialization remote code execution

The serialization implementation in JBoss Drools in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBoss EAP or JBEAP) 4.3 before 4.3.0.CP09 and JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2 and 4.3 supports the embedding of class files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted static initializer.

PGTStorage/pgt-file.php in phpCAS before 1.1.3, when proxy mode is enabled, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified file.

The sandbox implementation in Google Chrome before 6.0.472.53 does not properly deserialize parameters, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.

spice-xpi symlink attack

The SPICE (aka spice-xpi) plug-in 2.2 for Firefox allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified log file.

pmount: symlink attacks via lockfile files

The make_lockdir_name function in policy.c in pmount 0.9.18 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in /var/lock/.

openibd in OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) 1.5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/ib_set_node_desc.sh temporary file.

Security: Chosen commands execution on the server (Framework) or authentication token bypass (Security) by objects de-serialization

Spring Framework 3.0.0 through 3.0.5, Spring Security 3.0.0 through 3.0.5 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.6, and possibly other versions deserialize objects from untrusted sources, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended security restrictions and execute untrusted code by (1) serializing a java.lang.Proxy instance and using InvocationHandler, or (2) accessing internal AOP interfaces, as demonstrated using deserialization of a DefaultListableBeanFactory instance to execute arbitrary commands via the java.lang.Runtime class.

pulseaudio: information disclosure or DoS due to temporary directory handling

The pa_make_secure_dir function in core-util.c in PulseAudio 0.9.10 and 0.9.19 allows local users to change the ownership and permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/.esd-##### temporary file.

ncpfs: Race condition by mount (ncpmount) / umount (ncpumount) operations

ncpfs 2.2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or possibly gain privileges via symlink attacks involving the (1) ncpmount and (2) ncpumount programs.
