security flaw

hidd in BlueZ (bluez-utils) before 2.25 allows remote attackers to obtain control of the (1) Mouse and (2) Keyboard Human Interface Device (HID) via a certain configuration of two HID (PSM) endpoints, operating as a server, aka HidAttack.

The default configuration of WebAPP before 0.9.9.5 has a CAPTCHA setting of "no," which makes it easier for automated programs to submit false data.

Safari in Apple iPhone 1.1.1, when requested to disable Javascript, does not disable it until Safari is restarted, which might leave Safari open to attacks that the user does not expect.

The DNS server in Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP4, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, uses predictable transaction IDs when querying other DNS servers, which allows remote attackers to spoof DNS replies, poison the DNS cache, and facilitate further attack vectors.

The remote_cmds component in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 contains a symbolic link from the tftpboot private directory to the root directory, which allows tftpd users to escape the private directory and access arbitrary files.

The cmdjob utility in Autodesk Backburner 3.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on render servers by queueing jobs that contain these commands. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability in environments in which the administrator has not followed documentation that outlines the security risks of operating Backburner on untrusted networks.

Cisco Content Switching Modules (CSM) 4.2 before 4.2.7, and Cisco Content Switching Module with SSL (CSM-S) 2.1 before 2.1.6, when service termination is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot) via unspecified vectors related to high network utilization, aka CSCsh57876.

Java Multi-pin DNS rebinding allows arbitrary Javascript Execution

Interpretation conflict in the Sun Java Virtual Machine (JVM) allows user-assisted remote attackers to conduct a multi-pin DNS rebinding attack and execute arbitrary JavaScript in an intranet context, when an intranet web server has an HTML document that references a "mayscript=true" Java applet through a local relative URI, which may be associated with different IP addresses by the browser and the JVM.

The default configuration in OpenAFS 1.4.x before 1.4.4 and 1.5.x before 1.5.17 supports setuid programs within the local cell, which might allow attackers to gain privileges by spoofing a response to an AFS cache manager FetchStatus request, and setting setuid and root ownership for files in the cache.

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 does not log requests that use the TRACK method, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information without detection.

The default configuration of Sun ONE/iPlanet Web Server 4.1 SP1 through SP12 and 6.0 SP1 through SP5 responds to the HTTP TRACE request, which can allow remote attackers to steal information using cross-site tracing (XST) attacks in applications that are vulnerable to cross-site scripting.

The default configuration of xterm on Debian GNU/Linux sid and possibly Ubuntu enables the allowWindowOps resource, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code or have unspecified other impact via escape sequences.

The tblinf32.dll (aka vstlbinf.dll) ActiveX control for Internet Explorer 5.01, 6 SP1, and 7 uses an incorrect IObjectsafety implementation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by requesting the HelpString property, involving a crafted DLL file argument to the TypeLibInfoFromFile function, which overwrites the HelpStringDll property to call the DLLGetDocumentation function in another DLL file, aka "ActiveX Object Vulnerability."

WebKit in Apple Safari 3 Beta before Update 3.0.3, and iPhone before 1.0.1, does not properly handle the interaction between International Domain Name (IDN) support and Unicode fonts, which allows remote attackers to create a URL containing "look-alike characters" (homographs) and possibly perform phishing attacks.

security flaw

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.8 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary Javascript with user privileges by using the Script object to modify XPCNativeWrappers in a way that causes the script to be executed when a chrome action is performed.

Simple Machines Forum (SMF) 1.1.4 allows remote attackers to read a message in private forums by using the advanced search module with the "show results as messages" option, then searching for possible keywords contained in that message.

autofs defaults don't restrict suid in /net

The default configuration of autofs 5 in some Linux distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, omits the nosuid option for the hosts (/net filesystem) map, which allows local users to gain privileges via a setuid program on a remote NFS server.

scanbuttond: unsafe usage of temporary files in buttonpressed.sh

buttonpressed.sh in scanbuttond 0.2.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) scan.pnm and (2) scan.jpg temporary files.

Solaris 9, with Solaris Auditing enabled and certain patches for sshd installed, can generate audit records with an audit-ID of 0 even when the user logging into ssh is not root, which makes it easier for attackers to avoid detection and can make it more difficult to conduct forensics activities.

The default configuration of Uber Uploader (UU) 5.3.6 and earlier does not block uploads of (1) .html, (2) .asp, and other possibly dangerous extensions, which allows remote attackers to use these extensions in uploads via (a) uu_file_upload.php, related to uu_file_upload.js and (b) uber_uploader_file.php, related to uber_uploader_file.js, a different issue than CVE-2007-0123. NOTE: the vendor disputes the severity of the issue, noting that it is the administrator's responsibility to "add file extensions that you may or may not want uploaded."
