CVE Database

The search_binary_handler function in exec.c in Linux 2.4 kernel on 64-bit x86 architectures does not check a return code for a particular function call when virtual memory is low, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic), as demonstrated by running a process using the bash ulimit -v command.

The rw_vm function in usercopy.c in the 4GB split patch for the Linux kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 does not perform proper bounds checking, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).

Unspecified vulnerability in HP-UX B.11.23 on Itanium platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service due to a "specific stack size."

LSCFG in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not create temporary files securely, which allows local users to corrupt /etc/passwd and possibly other system files via the trace file.

The FWDRV driver in Kerio Personal Firewall 4.2 and Server Firewall 1.1.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by setting the PAGE_NOACCESS or PAGE_GUARD protection on the Page Environment Block (PEB), which triggers an exception, aka the "PEB lockout vulnerability."

The FTP client in Windows XP SP1 and Server 2003, and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 2000 SP4, when "Enable Folder View for FTP Sites" is enabled and the user manually initiates a file transfer, allows user-assisted, remote FTP servers to overwrite files in arbitrary locations via crafted filenames.

The sys_get_thread_area function in process.c in Linux 2.6 before 2.6.12.4 and 2.6.13 does not clear a data structure before copying it to userspace, which might allow a user process to obtain sensitive information.

The NAT code (1) ip_nat_proto_tcp.c and (2) ip_nat_proto_udp.c in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.13 and 2.4 before 2.4.32-rc1 incorrectly declares a variable to be static, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by causing two packets for the same protocol to be NATed at the same time, which leads to memory corruption.

Exec in Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly clear posix-timers in multi-threaded environments, which results in a resource leak and could allow a large number of multiple local users to cause a denial of service by using more posix-timers than specified by the quota for a single user.

yiff server (yiff-server) 2.14.2 on Debian GNU/Linux runs as root and does not properly verify ownership of files that it opens, which allows local users to read arbitrary files.

A rule file in module-assistant before 0.9.10 causes a temporary file to be created insecurely, which allows local users to conduct unauthorized operations.

Unknown vulnerability in Solaris 10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors related to the "/proc" filesystem, which trigger a null dereference.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Solaris 10 SCTP Socket Option Processing allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified attack vectors.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in iSQL*Plus (iSQLPlus) in Oracle9i Database Server Release 2 9.0.2.4 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via script in the "set markup HTML TABLE" command, which is executed when the user selects a table.

arc 5.21j and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, a different type of vulnerability than CVE-2005-2945.

The audit system in Linux kernel 2.6.6, and other versions before 2.6.13.4, when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled, uses an incorrect function to free names_cache memory, which prevents the memory from being tracked by AUDITSYSCALL code and leads to a memory leak that allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).

drm.c in Linux kernel 2.6.10 to 2.6.13 creates a debug file in sysfs with world-readable and world-writable permissions, which allows local users to enable DRM debugging and obtain sensitive information.

Memory leak in the request_key_auth_destroy function in request_key_auth in Linux kernel 2.6.10 up to 2.6.13 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of authorization token keys.

sysreport before 1.3.7 allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a symlink attack on a temporary directory.

Linux 2.6.11 on 64-bit x86 (x86_64) platforms does not use a guard page for the 47-bit address page to protect against an AMD K8 bug, which allows local users to cause a denial of service.

The AJP connector in Apache Tomcat 4.0.1 through 4.0.6 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36, as used in Hitachi Cosminexus Application Server and standalone, does not properly handle when a connection is broken before request body data is sent in a POST request, which can lead to an information leak when "unsuitable request body data" is used for a different request, possibly related to Java Servlet pages.

StoreBackup before 1.19 creates the backup root with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

StoreBackup before 1.19 allows local users to perform unauthorized operations on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

gnome-pty-helper in GNOME libzvt2 and libvte4 allows local users to spoof the logon hostname via a modified DISPLAY environment variable. NOTE: the severity of this issue has been disputed.

The (1) cfmailfilter and (2) cfcron.in files for cfengine 1.6.5 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2960.

cfengine 1.6.5 and 2.1.16 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files used by vicf.in, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3137.

apachetop 0.12.5 and earlier, when running in debug mode, allows local users to create or append to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on atop.debug.

mpeg-tools before 1.5b-r2 creates multiple temporary files insecurely, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via (1) ts.stat, (2) ts.mpg, (3) foobar, (4) blockbar, or (5) foobar[NNN].

The post-installation script for ntlmaps before 0.9.9 sets world-readable permissions for the configuration file, which allows local users to obtain the username and password.

The "reset password" feature in Macromedia Breeze 5.0 stores passwords in plaintext in the database instead of the hash, which allows attackers with access to the database to obtain the passwords.
