CVE Database

getmail 4.x before 4.2.0, when run as root, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an mbox file.

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.

Firefox before 1.0 does not properly distinguish between user-generated and synthetic click events, which allows remote attackers to use Javascript to bypass the file download prompt when the user uses the Alt-click feature.

zhcon before 0.2 does not drop privileges before reading a user configuration file, which allows local users to read arbitrary files.

Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to bypass the file download warning dialog and possibly trick an unknowledgeable user into executing arbitrary code via a web page with a body element containing an onclick tag, as demonstrated using the createElement function.

The change password functionality in Bottomline Webseries Payment Application does not require the old password when users enter a new password, which could allow remote authenticated users to change other users' passwords.

The slip_down function in slip.c for the uml_net program in uml-utilities 20030903, when uml_net is installed setuid root, does not verify whether the calling user has sufficient permission to disable an interface, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (network service disabled).

IglooFTP 0.6.1, when recursively uploading a directory, allows local users to overwrite the files that are being uploaded by creating temporary files with names generated by the tmpnam function, before the files are opened by IglooFTP.

lppasswd in CUPS 1.1.22, when run in environments that do not ensure that file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are open when lppasswd is called, does not verify that the passwd.new file is different from STDERR, which allows local users to control output to passwd.new via certain user input that triggers an error message.

lppasswd in CUPS 1.1.22 ignores write errors when modifying the CUPS passwd file, which allows local users to corrupt the file by filling the associated file system and triggering the write errors.

FluxBox 0.9.10 and earlier versions allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) by calling Xman with a long -title value, possibly triggering a buffer overflow.

Race condition in SuSE Linux 8.1 through 9.2, when run on SMP systems that have more than 4GB of memory, could allow local users to read unauthorized memory from "foreign memory pages."

SUSE Linux before 9.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server before 9 do not properly check commands sent to CD devices that have been opened read-only, which could allow local users to conduct unauthorized write activities to modify the firmware of associated SCSI devices.

KDE 3.2.x and 3.3.0 through 3.3.2, when saving credentials that are (1) manually entered by the user or (2) created by the SMB protocol handler, stores those credentials for plaintext in the user's .desktop file, which may be created with world-readable permissions, which could allow local users to obtain usernames and passwords for remote resources such as SMB shares.

The mtink status monitor before 1.0.5 for Epson printers allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the epson temporary file.

qpkg in Gentoolkit 0.2.0_pre10 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary directory.

dispatch-conf in Portage 2.0.51-r2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The binfmt functionality in the Linux kernel, when "memory overcommit" is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a malformed a.out binary.

The open_exec function in the execve functionality (exec.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, allows local users to read non-readable ELF binaries by using the interpreter (PT_INTERP) functionality.

Race condition in SELinux 2.6.x through 2.6.9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via SOCK_SEQPACKET unix domain sockets, which are not properly handled in the sock_dgram_sendmsg function.

The cmdline pseudofiles in (1) procfs on FreeBSD 4.8 through 5.3, and (2) linprocfs on FreeBSD 5.x through 5.3, do not properly validate a process argument vector, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) or read portions of kernel memory. NOTE: this candidate might be SPLIT into 2 separate items in the future.

Race condition in Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to read the environment variables of another process that is still spawning via /proc/.../cmdline.

Kerio Winroute Firewall before 6.0.9, ServerFirewall before 1.0.1, and MailServer before 6.0.5, when installed on Windows based systems, do not modify the ACLs for critical files, which allows local users with Power Users privileges to modify programs, install malicious DLLs in the plug-ins folder, and modify XML files related to configuration.

Kerio Winroute Firewall before 6.0.7, ServerFirewall before 1.0.1, and MailServer before 6.0.5 use symmetric encryption for user passwords, which allows attackers to decrypt the user database and obtain the passwords by extracting the secret key from within the software.

The scm_send function in the scm layer for Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.28, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.9, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via crafted auxiliary messages that are passed to the sendmsg function, which causes a deadlock condition.

main.c in cscope 15-4 and 15-5 creates temporary files with predictable filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

romload.c in DGen Emulator 1.23 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files during decompression of (1) gzip or (2) bzip ROM files.

Shared Sun StorEdge QFS and SAM-QFS file systems, as used in Utilization Suite 4.0 through 4.1 and Performance Suite 4.0 through 4.1, might allow local users to read portions of deleted files by accessing data within sparse files.

Buffer overflow in the FTP server of Hummingbird Connectivity 7.1 and 9.0 allows remote, authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long argument to the XCWD command.

NessusWX 1.4.4 stores account passwords in plaintext in .session files, which allows local users to obtain passwords.
