CVE Database

The DEC UDK processing feature in the xterm terminal emulator in XFree86 4.2.99.4 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a certain character escape sequence that causes the terminal to enter a tight loop.

A patch for shadow-utils 20000902 causes the useradd command to create a mail spool files with read/write privileges of the new user's group (mode 660), which allows other users in the same group to read or modify the new user's incoming email.

Linux kernel 2.4.10 through 2.4.21-pre4 does not properly handle the O_DIRECT feature, which allows local attackers with write privileges to read portions of previously deleted files, or cause file system corruption.

slapd in OpenLDAP2 (OpenLDAP 2) 2.2.0 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a race condition during the creation of a log file for rejected replication requests.

Unknown vulnerability in mail for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to read the email of other users.

The data collection script for Bugzilla 2.14.x before 2.14.5, 2.16.x before 2.16.2, and 2.17.x before 2.17.3 sets world-writable permissions for the data/mining directory when it runs, which allows local users to modify or delete the data.

Internet Message (IM) 141-18 and earlier uses predictable file and directory names, which allows local users to (1) obtain unauthorized directory permissions via a temporary directory used by impwagent, and (2) overwrite and create arbitrary files via immknmz.

faxspool in mgetty before 1.1.29 uses a world-writable spool directory for outgoing faxes, which allows local users to modify fax transmission privileges.

rpc.walld (wall daemon) for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to send messages to logged on users that appear to come from arbitrary user IDs by closing stderr before executing wall, then supplying a spoofed from header.

Winamp 2.80 stores authentication credentials in plaintext in the (1) [HTTP-AUTH] and (2) [winamp] sections in winamp.ini, which allows local users to gain access to other accounts.

Photon microGUI in QNX Neutrino realtime operating system (RTOS) 6.1.0 and 6.2.0 allows attackers to read user clipboard information via a direct request to the 1.TEXT file in a directory whose name is a hex-encoded user ID.

NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM.EXE) in Windows 2000, NT and XP does not verify user execution permissions for 16-bit executable files, which allows local users to bypass the loader and execute arbitrary programs.

hotfoon4.exe in Hotfoon 4.00 stores user names and passwords in cleartext in the hotfoon2 registry key, which allows local users to gain access to user accounts and steal phone service.

Joe text editor 2.8 through 2.9.7 does not remove the group and user setuid bits for backup files, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary setuid and setgid root programs when root edits scripts owned by other users.

Lawson Financials 8.0, when configured to use a third party relational database, stores usernames and passwords in a world-readable file, which allows local users to read the passwords and log onto the database.

Microsoft Windows XP with Fast User Switching (FUS) enabled does not remove the "show processes from all users" privilege when the user is removed from the administrator group, which allows that user to view processes of other users.

syslogd on OpenBSD 2.9 through 3.2 does not change the source IP address of syslog packets when the machine's IP addressed is changed without rebooting, e.g. via ifconfig, which can cause incorrect information to be sent to the syslog server.

Fortres 101 4.1 allows local users to bypass Fortres by pressing the Windows and "F" key together for 30 seconds, which opens multiple windows and eventually causes explorer.exe to crash, which then opens an unrestricted explorer.exe.

akfingerd 0.5 allows local users to read arbitrary files as the akfingerd user (nobody) via a symlink attack on the .plan file.

Unspecified vulnerability in the ied command in HP-UX 10.10, 10.20, and 11.0 allows local users to view "normally invisible data" via unknown attack vectors.

The experimental IP packet queuing feature in Netfilter / IPTables in Linux kernel 2.4 up to 2.4.19 and 2.5 up to 2.5.31, when a privileged process exits and network traffic is not being queued, may allow a later process with the same Process ID (PID) to access certain network traffic that would otherwise be restricted.

Akfingerd 0.5 and earlier versions allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a .plan with a symlink to /dev/urandom or other device, then disconnecting while data is being transferred, which causes a SIGPIPE error that Akfingerd cannot handle.

Outlook Express 6.0 does not delete messages from dbx files, even when a user empties the Deleted items folder, which allows local users to read other users email.

BEA WebLogic Server and Express 6.1 through 7.0.0.1 buffers HTTP requests in a way that can cause BEA to send the same response for two different HTTP requests, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information that was intended for other users.

Informed (1) Designer and (2) Filler 3.05 does not zero out newly allocated disk blocks as an encrypted file grows in size, which may allow attackers to obtain sensitive information.

The IMHO Webmail module 0.97.3 and earlier for Roxen leaks the REFERER from the browser's previous login session in an error page, which allows local users to read another user's inbox.

Windows File Protection (WFP) in Windows 2000 and XP does not remove old security catalog .CAT files, which could allow local users to replace new files with vulnerable old files that have valid hash codes.

Integrity Protection Driver (IPD) 1.2 and earlier blocks access to \Device\PhysicalMemory by its name, which could allow local privileged processes to overwrite kernel memory by accessing the device through a symlink.

restrictEnabled in Integrity Protection Driver (IPD) 1.2 delays driver installation for 20 minutes, which allows local users to insert malicious code by setting system clock to an earlier time.

Pointsec before 1.2 for PalmOS stores a user's PIN number in memory in plaintext, which allows a local attacker who steals an unlocked Palm to retrieve the PIN by dumping memory.
