security flaw

Race condition in cpio 2.6 and earlier allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by cpio after the decompression is complete.

qpopper 4.0.5 and earlier does not properly drop privileges before processing certain user-supplied files, which allows local users to overwrite or create arbitrary files as root.

popauth.c in qpopper 4.0.5 and earlier does not properly set the umask, which may cause qpopper to create files with group or world-writable permissions.

reportbug before 2.62 creates the .reportbugrc configuration file with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to obtain email smarthost passwords.

reportbug 3.2 includes settings from .reportbugrc in bug reports, which exposes sensitive information such as smtpuser and smtppasswd.

ppxp does not drop root privileges before opening log files, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in queue.c in a support script for sympa 3.3.3, when running setuid, allows local users to execute arbitrary code.

Multiple buffer overflows in the XView library 3.2 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via setuid applications that use the library.

security flaw

The DBI library (libdbi-perl) for Perl allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary PID file.

security flaw

The KDE screen saver in KDE before 3.0.5 does not properly check the return value from a certain function call, which allows attackers with physical access to cause a crash and access the desktop session.

security flaw

Integer overflow in camel-lock-helper in Evolution 2.0.2 and earlier allows local users or remote malicious POP3 servers to execute arbitrary code via a length value of -1, which leads to a zero byte memory allocation and a buffer overflow.

bsmtpd 2.3 and earlier does not properly sanitize e-mail addresses, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The tpkg-* scripts in the toolchain-source 3.0.4 package on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

security flaw

The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in wccp.c in Squid 2.5 before 2.5.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long WCCP packet, which is processed by a recvfrom function call that uses an incorrect length parameter.

mysql: mysqlaccess creates/overwrite files on the system

The mysqlaccess script in MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, 4.1.x before 4.1.10, 5.0.x before 5.0.3, and other versions including 3.x, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files or read temporary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

security flaw

Heap-based buffer overflow in psd.c for ImageMagick 6.1.0, 6.1.7, and possibly earlier versions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .PSD image file with a large number of layers.

The xdvizilla script in tetex-bin 2.0.2 creates temporary files with predictable file names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 installs the libpam-radius-auth package with the pam_radius_auth.conf set to be world-readable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

Multiple integer overflows in xzgv 0.8 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via images with large width and height values, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, as demonstrated in the read_prf_file function in readprf.c. NOTE: CVE-2004-0994 and CVE-2004-1095 identify sets of bugs that only partially overlap, despite having the same developer. Therefore, they should be regarded as distinct.
