NVIDIA drivers (nvidia-drivers) before 1.0.7185, 1.0.9639, and 100.14.11, as used in Gentoo Linux and possibly other distributions, creates /dev/nvidia* device files with insecure permissions, which allows local users to modify video card settings, cause a denial of service (crash or physical video card damage), and obtain sensitive information.

CIFS should honor umask

The CIFS filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22, when Unix extension support is enabled, does not honor the umask of a process, which allows local users to gain privileges.

New release of MySQL fixes security bugs

MySQL Community Server before 5.0.45 allows remote authenticated users to gain update privileges for a table in another database via a view that refers to this external table.

The AntiVirus engine in the HTTP-ALG in Clavister CorePlus before 8.81.00 and 8.80.03 might allow remote attackers to bypass scanning via small files.

Rebase aide to 0.13.1

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 ships the rpm for the Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) before 0.13.1 with a database that lacks checksum information, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass file integrity checks and modify certain files.

sysstat insecure temporary file usage

The init script (sysstat.in) in sysstat 5.1.2 up to 7.1.6 creates /tmp/sysstat.run insecurely, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code.

Untrusted Application or Applet May Move or Copy Arbitrary Files

Java Web Start in Sun JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier does not properly enforce access restrictions for untrusted (1) applications and (2) applets, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to copy or rename arbitrary files when local users perform drag-and-drop operations from the untrusted application or applet window onto certain types of desktop applications.

VirusBlokAda Vba32 AntiVirus 3.12.2 uses weak permissions (Everyone:Write) for its installation directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing application programs, as demonstrated by replacing vba32ldr.exe.

ASP-CMS 1.0 stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download a database containing the username and password via a direct request for mdb-database/ASP-CMS_v100.mdb.

Zomplog 3.8.1 and earlier stores potentially sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download files that were uploaded by users, as demonstrated by obtaining a directory listing via a direct request to /upload and then retrieving individual files. NOTE: in a non-default configuration, the directory listing is denied, but filenames may be predicable.

HP Mercury Quality Center (QC) 9.2 and earlier, and possibly TestDirector, relies on cached client-side scripts to implement "workflow" and decisions about the "capability" of a user, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted use of the Open Test Architecture (OTA) API, as demonstrated by modifying (1) common.tds, (2) defects.tds, (3) manrun.tds, (4) req.tds, (5) testlab.tds, or (6) testplan.tds in %tmp%\TD_80, and then setting the file's properties to read-only.

The Message Engine RPC service in CA BrightStor ARCServe BackUp v9.01 through R11.5, and Enterprise Backup r10.5, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by using certain "insecure method calls" to modify the file system and registry, aka "Privileged function exposure."

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.

Apache Tomcat's default security policy is too open

The default catalina.policy in the JULI logging component in Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 through 5.5.25 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.15 does not restrict certain permissions for web applications, which allows attackers to modify logging configuration options and overwrite arbitrary files, as demonstrated by changing the (1) level, (2) directory, and (3) prefix attributes in the org.apache.juli.FileHandler handler.

CodeAvalanche Directory stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download the database file containing the administrator password via a direct request for _private/CADirectory.mdb. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

CodeAvalanche FreeWallpaper stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download the database file containing the administrator password via a direct request for _private/CAFreeWallpaper.mdb. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The web interface plugin in KTorrent before 3.1.4 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and upload arbitrary torrent files, and trigger the start of downloads and seeding, via a crafted HTTP POST request.

Samba improper file access

The acl_group_override function in smbd/posix_acls.c in smbd in Samba 3.0.x before 3.0.35, 3.1.x and 3.2.x before 3.2.13, and 3.3.x before 3.3.6, when dos filemode is enabled, allows remote attackers to modify access control lists for files via vectors related to read access to uninitialized memory.

CodeAvalanche RateMySite stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download the database file containing the administrator password via a direct request for _private/CARateMySite.mdb. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

TAKempis Discussion Web 4.0 stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to download the database file containing a password via a direct request for _private/discussion.mdb. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
