java-1.6.0-sun: Privilege escalation in the Java Web Start Installer (6872824)

The Java Web Start Installer in Sun Java SE in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 17 does not properly use security model permissions when removing installer extensions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by modifying a certain JNLP file to have a URL field that points to an unintended trusted application, aka Bug Id 6872824.

kernel: ext4: Fix insufficient checks in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT

The EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT (aka move extents) ioctl implementation in the ext4 filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-git6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted request, related to insufficient checks for file permissions.

The _rtld function in the Run-Time Link-Editor (rtld) in libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c in FreeBSD 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0 does not clear the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, which allows local users to gain privileges by executing a setuid or setguid program with a modified LD_PRELOAD variable containing an untrusted search path that points to a Trojan horse library, a different vector than CVE-2009-4147.

The _rtld function in the Run-Time Link-Editor (rtld) in libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c in FreeBSD 7.1 and 8.0 does not clear the (1) LD_LIBMAP, (2) LD_LIBRARY_PATH, (3) LD_LIBMAP_DISABLE, (4) LD_DEBUG, and (5) LD_ELF_HINTS_PATH environment variables, which allows local users to gain privileges by executing a setuid or setguid program with a modified variable containing an untrusted search path that points to a Trojan horse library, different vectors than CVE-2009-4146.

dasauto in IBM DB2 8 before FP18, 9.1 before FP8, 9.5 before FP4, and 9.7 before FP1 permits execution by unprivileged user accounts, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors.

The editnews module in CutePHP CuteNews 1.4.6 and UTF-8 CuteNews before 8b, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote authenticated users with Journalist or Editor access to bypass administrative moderation and edit previously submitted articles via a modified id parameter in a doeditnews action.

The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Readiness Review (SRR) script for the Solaris x86 platform executes files in arbitrary directories as root for filenames equal to (1) java, (2) openssl, (3) php, (4) snort, (5) tshark, (6) vncserver, or (7) wireshark, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse program.

Panda Global Protection 2010, Internet Security 2010, and Antivirus Pro 2010 use weak permissions (Everyone: Full Control) for the product files, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing executables with Trojan horse programs.

phpBazar 2.1.1fix and earlier does not require administrative authentication for admin/admin.php, which allows remote attackers to obtain access to the admin control panel via a direct request.

acpid: log file created with random permissions

acpid 1.0.4 sets an unrestrictive umask, which might allow local users to leverage weak permissions on /var/log/acpid, and obtain sensitive information by reading this file or cause a denial of service by overwriting this file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-4033.

Harold Bakker's NewsScript (HB-NS) 1.3 allows remote attackers to obtain access to the admin control panel via a direct request to admin.php.

Moodle: Multiple security fixes in 1.9.7 and 1.8.11 upstream releases

mod/glossary/showentry.php in the Glossary module for Moodle 1.8 before 1.8.11 and 1.9 before 1.9.7 does not properly perform access control, which allows attackers to read unauthorized Glossary entries via unknown vectors.

Moodle: Multiple security fixes in 1.9.7 and 1.8.11 upstream releases

mnet/lib.php in Moodle 1.8 before 1.8.11 and 1.9 before 1.9.7, when MNET services are enabled, does not properly check permissions, which allows remote authenticated servers to execute arbitrary MNET functions.

Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 on Solaris 10, when Automatic Multi-Group Hotdesking (AMGH) is enabled, responds to a logout action by immediately logging the user in again, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain access to a session by going to an unattended DTU device.

The Install component in IBM DB2 9.5 before FP5 and 9.7 before FP1 configures the High Availability (HA) scripts with incorrect file-permission and authorization settings, which has unknown impact and local attack vectors.

The Self Tuning Memory Manager (STMM) component in IBM DB2 9.1 before FP8, 9.5 before FP5, and 9.7 before FP1 uses 0666 permissions for the STMM log file, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or have unspecified other impact by writing to this file.

freebsd-update in FreeBSD 8.0, 7.2, 7.1, 6.4, and 6.3 uses insecure permissions in its working directory (/var/db/freebsd-update by default), which allows local users to read copies of sensitive files after a (1) freebsd-update fetch (fetch) or (2) freebsd-update upgrade (upgrade) operation.

kernel: netfilter: ebtables: enforce CAP_NET_ADMIN

net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c in the ebtables module in the netfilter framework in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33-rc4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for setting or modifying rules, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure arbitrary network-traffic filtering via a modified ebtables application.

hald in Sun OpenSolaris snv_51 through snv_130 does not have the proc_audit privilege during unspecified attempts to write to the auditing log, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to avoid detection of changes to the set of connected hardware devices supporting the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) specification.

Trusted Extensions in Sun Solaris 10 allows local users to gain privileges via vectors related to omission of unspecified libraries from software updates.
