libclamav/untar.c in ClamAV before 0.95 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted TAR file that causes (1) clamd and (2) clamscan to hang.

kernel: x86 guest OS can crash the system by writing to the EFER

The vmx_set_msr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the VMX implementation in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29.1 on the i386 platform allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by setting the EFER_LME (aka "Long mode enable") bit in the Extended Feature Enable Register (EFER) model-specific register, which is specific to the x86_64 platform.

udev: Buffer overflow in path encoding routine

Buffer overflow in the util_path_encode function in udev/lib/libudev-util.c in udev before 1.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (service outage) via vectors that trigger a call with crafted arguments.

udev: Uncheck origin of NETLINK messages

udev before 1.4.1 does not verify whether a NETLINK message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space.

nss-ldapd before 0.6.8 uses world-readable permissions for the /etc/nss-ldapd.conf file, which allows local users to obtain a cleartext password for the LDAP server by reading the bindpw field.

kernel: nfsd should drop CAP_MKNOD for non-root

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option.

cups: IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED handling NULL pointer dereference DoS

The ippReadIO function in cups/ipp.c in cupsd in CUPS before 1.3.10 does not properly initialize memory for IPP request packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a scheduler request with two consecutive IPP_TAG_UNSUPPORTED tags.

freetype: multiple integer overflows

Multiple integer overflows in FreeType 2.3.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to large values in certain inputs in (1) smooth/ftsmooth.c, (2) sfnt/ttcmap.c, and (3) cff/cffload.c.

kernel: x86-64: syscall-audit: 32/64 syscall hole

The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.

systemtap: race condition leads to privilege escalation

Race condition in the SystemTap stap tool 0.0.20080705 and 0.0.20090314 allows local users in the stapusr group to insert arbitrary SystemTap kernel modules and gain privileges via unknown vectors.

openssl: ASN1 printing crash

The ASN1_STRING_print_ex function in OpenSSL before 0.9.8k allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) via vectors that trigger printing of a (1) BMPString or (2) UniversalString with an invalid encoded length.

Integer signedness error in the fourxm_read_header function in libavformat/4xm.c in FFmpeg before revision 16846 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed 4X movie file with a large current_track value, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

kernel: dell_rbu local oops

drivers/firmware/dell_rbu.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27.13, and 2.6.28.x before 2.6.28.2, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a read system call that specifies zero bytes from the (1) image_type or (2) packet_size file in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/.

kernel: ecryptfs readlink flaw

fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a readlink call that results in an error, leading to use of a -1 return value as an array index.

The System extension Install tool in TYPO3 4.0.0 through 4.0.9, 4.1.0 through 4.1.7, and 4.2.0 through 4.2.3 creates the encryption key with an insufficiently random seed, which makes it easier for attackers to crack the key.

device-mapper-multipath: insecure permissions on multipathd.sock

The Device Mapper multipathing driver (aka multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath) 0.4.8, as used in SUSE openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), Fedora, and possibly other operating systems, uses world-writable permissions for the socket file (aka /var/run/multipathd.sock), which allows local users to send arbitrary commands to the multipath daemon.

libpng arbitrary free() flaw

The PNG reference library (aka libpng) before 1.0.43, and 1.2.x before 1.2.35, as used in pngcrush and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer in (1) the png_read_png function, (2) pCAL chunk handling, or (3) setup of 16-bit gamma tables.

Linux Kernel insecure 64 bit system call argument passing

The ABI in the Linux kernel 2.6.28 and earlier on s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips 64-bit platforms requires that a 32-bit argument in a 64-bit register was properly sign extended when sent from a user-mode application, but cannot verify this, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted system call.

FrameWork: XSS Ajax requests (AST-2009-009)

Unspecified vulnerability in Prototype JavaScript framework (prototypejs) before 1.6.0.2 allows attackers to make "cross-site ajax requests" via unknown vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in the user editing interface in Moodle 1.5.x, 1.6 before 1.6.6, and 1.7 before 1.7.3 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via unknown vectors.
