Second-order symlink vulnerability in eix-sync.in in Ebuild IndeX (eix) before 0.5.0_pre2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the exi.X.sync temporary file, which is processed by the diff-eix program.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in Sendmail 5.79 to 8.12.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain formatted address fields, related to sender and recipient header comments as processed by the crackaddr function of headers.c.

The configuration of NetHack 3.4.3-r1 and earlier, Falcon's Eye 1.9.4a and earlier, and Slash'EM 0.0.760 and earlier on Gentoo Linux allows local users in the games group to modify saved games files to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflows and overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

The JPEG library in media-libs/jpeg before 6b-r7 on Gentoo Linux is built without the -maxmem feature, which could allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted JPEG file that exceeds the intended memory limits.

The ebuild for pinentry before 0.7.2-r2 on Gentoo Linux sets setgid bits for pinentry programs, which allows local users to read or overwrite arbitrary files as gid 0.

security flaw

A "potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing" for Sendmail 8.12.9, when using the nonstandard rulesets (1) recipient (2), final, or (3) mailer-specific envelope recipients, has unknown consequences.

security flaw

The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.

Multiple buffer overflows in (1) iso2022jp.c or (2) shiftjis.c for Courier-IMAP before 3.0.0, Courier before 0.45, and SqWebMail before 4.0.0 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code "when Unicode character is out of BMP range."

security flaw

Multiple buffer overflows in Midnight Commander (mc) before 4.6.0 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

The framebuffer driver in Linux kernel 2.6.x does not properly use the fb_copy_cmap function, with unknown impact.

security flaw

Multiple vulnerabilities in Midnight Commander (mc) before 4.6.0, with unknown impact, related to "Insecure temporary file and directory creations."

security flaw

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Midnight Commander (mc) before 4.6.0 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Buffer overflow in the UUDeview package, as used in WinZip 6.2 through WinZip 8.1 SR-1, and possibly other packages, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a MIME archive with certain long MIME parameters.

Buffer overflow in the HTTP parser for MPlayer 1.0pre3 and earlier, 0.90, and 0.91 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Location header.

security flaw

CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, does not properly handle malformed "Entry" lines, which prevents a NULL terminator from being used and may lead to a denial of service (crash), modification of critical program data, or arbitrary code execution.

security flaw

Double free vulnerability for the error_prog_name string in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

security flaw

Integer overflow in the "Max-dotdot" CVS protocol command (serve_max_dotdot) for CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, may allow remote attackers to cause a server crash, which could cause temporary data to remain undeleted and consume disk space.

security flaw

serve_notify in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, does not properly handle empty data lines, which may allow remote attackers to perform an "out-of-bounds" write for a single byte to execute arbitrary code or modify critical program data.

security flaw

XDM in XFree86 opens a chooserFd TCP socket even when DisplayManager.requestPort is 0, which could allow remote attackers to connect to the port, in violation of the intended restrictions.

ProFTPD 1.2.9 treats the Allow and Deny directives for CIDR based ACL entries as if they were AllowAll, which could allow FTP clients to bypass intended access restrictions.
