CVE Database

Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, 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 gzip after the decompression is complete.

The shmem_nopage function in shmem.c for the tmpfs driver in Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly verify the address argument, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via an invalid address.

Integer signedness error in the parse_machfile function in the mach-o loader (mach_loader.c) for the Darwin Kernel as used in Mac OS X 10.3.7, and other versions before 10.3.9, allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted mach-o header.

An error in the Toshiba ACPI BIOS 1.6 causes the BIOS to only examine the first slot in the Master Boot Record (MBR) table for an active partition, which prevents the system from booting even though the MBR is not malformed. NOTE: it has been debated as to whether or not this issue poses a security vulnerability, since administrative privileges would be required, and other DoS attacks are possible with such privileges.

Race condition in bzip2 1.0.2 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 bzip2 after the decompression is complete.

The SmartScan feature in the Auto-Protect module for Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2004 and 2005, as also used in Internet Security 2004/2005 and System Works 2004/2005, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and system crash) by renaming a file on a network share.

AIO in the Linux kernel 2.6.11 on the PPC64 or IA64 architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE enabled allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) via a process that executes the io_queue_init function but exits without running io_queue_release, which causes exit_aio and is_hugepage_only_range to fail.

Maxthon 1.2.0 allows remote malicious web sites to obtain potentially sensitive data from the search bar via the m2_search_text property.

Remote Desktop in Windows XP SP1 does not verify the "Force shutdown from a remote system" setting, which allows remote attackers to shut down the system by executing TSShutdn.exe.

Buffer overflow in QuickTime PictureViewer 6.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a JPEG file with crafted Huffman Table (marker DHT) data.

AS/400 running OS400 5.2 installs and enables LDAP by default, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain OS/400 user profiles by performing a search.

OpenmosixCollector and OpenMosixView in OpenMosixView 1.5 allow local users to overwrite or delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) temporary files in the openmosixcollector directory or (2) nodes.tmp.

cdrecord before 4:2.0, when DEBUG is enabled, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Microsoft Windows XP SP1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an empty datagram to a raw IP over IP socket (IP protocol 4), as originally demonstrated using code in Python 2.3.

Citrix Metaframe Password Manager 2.5 and earlier stores a password in cleartext although it is obfuscated when presented to a user, which allows users to view their secondary passwords even if it is not allowed by policy.

Wine 20050211 and earlier creates temp files with world readable permissions and predictable file names, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information, such as passwords.

MySQL 4.0.23 and earlier, and 4.1.x up to 4.1.10, uses predictable file names when creating temporary tables, which allows local users with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE privileges to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in the EXIF library (libexif) 0.6.9 does not properly validate the structure of the EXIF tags, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with a crafted EXIF tag.

Unknown vulnerability in HP OpenVMS VAX 7.x and 6.x and OpenVMS Alpha 7.x or 6.x allows local users to access privileged files.

PHP 4 (PHP4) allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by using the readfile function on a file whose size is a multiple of the page size.

Firefox before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to spoof the (1) security and (2) download modal dialog boxes, which could be used to trick users into executing script or downloading and executing a file, aka "Firespoofing."

Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote malicious web sites to spoof the extensions of files to download via the Content-Disposition header, which could be used to trick users into downloading dangerous content.

Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6, when displaying the HTTP Authentication dialog, do not change the focus to the tab that generated the prompt, which could facilitate spoofing and phishing attacks.

Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.6 use a predictable filename for the plugin temporary directory, which allows local users to delete arbitrary files of other users via a symlink attack on the plugtmp directory.

Unknown vulnerability in Standard Type Services Framework (STSF) Font Server Daemon (stfontserverd) in Solaris 9 allows local users to modify or delete arbitrary files.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP SP1 and SP2, and Windows Server 2003 allows local users to cause a denial of service (i.e., system crash) via a malformed request, aka "Object Management Vulnerability".

The reiserfs_copy_from_user_to_file_region function in reiserfs/file.c for Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 before 2.6.11-rc4, when running on 64-bit architectures, may allow local users to trigger a buffer overflow as a result of casting discrepancies between size_t and int data types.

The atm_get_addr function in addr.c for Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 before 2.6.11-rc4 may allow local users to trigger a buffer overflow via negative arguments.

Signedness error in the copy_from_read_buf function in n_tty.c for Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1 allows local users to read kernel memory via a negative argument.

Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1-bk6 uses different size types for offset arguments to the proc_file_read and locks_read_proc functions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow when a signed comparison causes negative integers to be used in a positive context.
