The chroot helper in rMake for rPath Linux 1 does not drop supplemental groups, which causes packages to be installed with insecure permissions and might allow local users to gain privileges.

Multiple font integer overflows (CVE-2007-1352)

Integer overflow in the bdfReadCharacters function in bdfread.c in (1) X.Org libXfont before 20070403 and (2) freetype 2.3.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via crafted BDF fonts, which result in a heap overflow.

libvorbis array boundary condition

lib/info.c in libvorbis 1.1.2, and possibly other versions before 1.2.0, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via invalid (1) blocksize_0 and (2) blocksize_1 values, which trigger a "heap overwrite" in the _01inverse function in res0.c. NOTE: this issue has been RECAST so that CVE-2007-4029 handles additional vectors.

Multiple libvorbis flaws (CVE-2007-4066, CVE-2007-4029)

libvorbis 1.1.2, and possibly other versions before 1.2.0, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via (1) an invalid mapping type, which triggers an out-of-bounds read in the vorbis_info_clear function in info.c, and (2) invalid blocksize values that trigger a segmentation fault in the read function in block.c.

tar directory traversal vulnerability

Directory traversal vulnerability in the contains_dot_dot function in src/names.c in GNU tar allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via certain //.. (slash slash dot dot) sequences in directory symlinks in a TAR archive.

perl regular expression UTF parsing errors

Buffer overflow in the polymorphic opcode support in the Regular Expression Engine (regcomp.c) in Perl 5.8 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by switching from byte to Unicode (UTF) characters in a regular expression.

initscripts in rPath Linux 1 sets insecure permissions for the /var/log/btmp file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information regarding authentication attempts. NOTE: because sshd detects the insecure permissions and does not log certain events, this also prevents sshd from logging failed authentication attempts by remote attackers.

ghostscript: stack-based buffer overflow in .seticcspace operator

Stack-based buffer overflow in the zseticcspace function in zicc.c in Ghostscript 8.61 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a postscript (.ps) file containing a long Range array in a .seticcspace operator.

am-utils: insecure usage of temporary files

expn in the am-utils and net-fs packages for Gentoo, rPath Linux, and other distributions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the expn[PID] temporary file. NOTE: this is the same issue as CVE-2003-0308.1.

wireshark: unexpected exit in the PANA and KISMET dissectors

The (1) PANA and (2) KISMET dissectors in Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.99.3 through 1.0.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application stop) via unknown vectors.

wireshark: crash in the RTMPT dissector

The RTMPT dissector in Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.99.8 through 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors. NOTE: this might be due to a use-after-free error.
