security flaw

Buffer overflow in samba 2.2.2 through 2.2.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an encrypted password that causes the overflow during decryption in which a DOS codepage string is converted to a little-endian UCS2 unicode string.

security flaw

Safe.pm 2.0.7 and earlier, when used in Perl 5.8.0 and earlier, may allow attackers to break out of safe compartments in (1) Safe::reval or (2) Safe::rdo using a redefined @_ variable, which is not reset between successive calls.

The upgrade of IRIX on Origin 3000 to 6.5.13 through 6.5.16 changes the MAC address of the system, which could modify intended access restrictions that are based on a MAC address.

rpcbind in SGI IRIX, when using the -w command line switch, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

fsr_efs in IRIX 6.5 allows local users to conduct unauthorized file activities via a symlink attack, possibly via the .fsrlast file.

mv in IRIX 6.5 creates a directory with world-writable permissions while moving a directory, which could allow local users to modify files and directories.

Unknown vulnerability in the AUTH_DES authentication for RPC in Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, and 7, SGI IRIX 6.5 to 6.5.19f, and possibly other platforms, allows remote attackers to gain privileges.

SGI IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.14 applies a umask of 022 to root core dumps, which allows local users to read the core dumps and possibly obtain sensitive information.

Buffer overflow in uux in eoe.sw.uucp package of SGI IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.17 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors.

SGI IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.17 creates temporary desktop files with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to overwrite or corrupt those files.

The Video Control Panel on SGI O2/IRIX 6.5, when the Default Input is set to "Output Video", allows attackers to access a console session by running videoout then videoin.

security flaw

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) allows local users to cause a denial of service via an IGMP membership report to a target's Ethernet address instead of the Multicast group address, which causes the target to stop sending reports to the router and effectively disconnect the group from the network.

security flaw

Integer overflow in the xdrmem_getbytes() function, and possibly other functions, of XDR (external data representation) libraries derived from SunRPC, including libnsl, libc, glibc, and dietlibc, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain integer values in length fields, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0391.

The dtterm terminal emulator allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

xfsdq in xfsdump does not create quota information files securely, which allows local users to gain root privileges.

The LDAP name service (nsd) in IRIX 6.5.19 and earlier does not properly verify if the USERPASSWORD attribute has been provided by an LDAP server, which could allow attackers to log in without a password.

SGI IRIX before 6.5.21 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a certain call to the PIOCSWATCH ioctl.

The Name Service Daemon (nsd), when running on an NIS master on SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a UDP port scan.

SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, does not follow "-" entries in the /etc/group file, which may cause subsequent group membership entries to be processed inadvertently.

The IPv6 capability in IRIX 6.5.19 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) in inetd via port scanning.
