CVE Database

ktrace in BSD-based operating systems allows the owner of a process with special privileges to trace the process after its privileges have been lowered, which may allow the owner to obtain sensitive information that the process obtained while it was running with the extra privileges.

The encrypted loop device in Linux kernel 2.4.10 and earlier does not authenticate the entity that is encrypting data, which allows local users to modify encrypted data without knowing the key.

Oracle 9i Application Server stores XSQL and SOAP configuration files insecurely, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information including usernames and passwords by requesting (1) XSQLConfig.xml or (2) soapConfig.xml through a virtual directory.

xtell (xtelld) 1.91.1 and earlier, and 2.x before 2.7, allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack on the .xtell-log file.

Vulnerability in passwd for HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11 allows local users to corrupt the password file and cause a denial of service.

Pipermail in Mailman stores private mail messages with predictable filenames in a world-executable directory, which allows local users to read private mailing list archives.

Vulnerability in the XFS file system for SGI IRIX before 6.5.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) by creating a file that is not properly processed by XFS.

The installation of Tarantella Enterprise 3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the "spinning" temporary file.

Winamp 2.78 and 2.77, when opening a wma file that requires a license, sends the full path of the Temporary Internet Files directory to the web page that is processing the license, which could allow malicious web servers to obtain the pathname.

Gaim 0.57 stores sensitive information in world-readable and group-writable files in the /tmp directory, which allows local users to access MSN web email accounts of other users who run Gaim by reading authentication information from the files.

netstat in SGI IRIX before 6.5.12 allows local users to determine the existence of files on the system, even if the users do not have the appropriate permissions.

Runtime library in GNU Ada compiler (GNAT) 3.12p through 3.14p allows local users to modify files of other users via a symlink attack on temporary files.

NetScreen ScreenOS before 2.6.1 does not support a maximum number of concurrent sessions for a system, which allows an attacker on the trusted network to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a port scan to an external network, which consumes all available connections.

Compaq Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device Driver 1.5.16.0 through 1.5.18.0 stores the 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key in plaintext in a registry key with weak permissions, which allows local users to decrypt network traffic by reading the WEP key from the registry key.

xkas in Xinet K-AShare 0.011.01 for IRIX allows local users to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the VOLICON file, which is copied to the .HSicon file in a shared directory.

PaintBBS 1.2 installs certain files and directories with insecure permissions, which allows local users to (1) obtain the encrypted server password via the world-readable oekakibbs.conf file, or (2) modify the server configuration via the world-writeable /oekaki/ folder.

/dev/ipfilter on SGI IRIX 6.5 is installed by /dev/MAKEDEV with insecure default permissions (644), which could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (traffic disruption).

Vulnerability in SGI IRIX 6.5.11 through 6.5.15f allows local users to cause privileged applications to dump core via the HOSTALIASES environment variable, which might allow the users to gain privileges.

Maelstrom GPL 3.0.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files of other Maelstrom users via a symlink attack on the /tmp/f file.

CDRDAO 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 allows local users to read arbitrary files via the show-data command.

efax 0.9 and earlier, when installed setuid root, allows local users to read arbitrary files via the -d option, which prints the contents of the file in a warning message.

PHP 4.0 through 4.1.1 stores session IDs in temporary files whose name contains the session ID, which allows local users to hijack web connections.

Apple Palm Desktop 4.0b76 and 4.0b77 creates world-readable backup files and folders when a hotsync is performed, which could allow a local user to obtain sensitive information.

Nevrona Designs MiraMail 1.04 and earlier stores authentication information such as POP usernames and passwords in plaintext in a .ini file, which allows an attacker to gain privileges by reading the passwords from the file.

bindsock in Lotus Domino 5.07 on Solaris allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

rsync, when running in daemon mode, does not properly call setgroups before dropping privileges, which could provide supplemental group privileges to local users, who could then read certain files that would otherwise be disallowed.

Memory leak in SNMP in Squid 2.4 STABLE3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

create_keyfiles in PSSP 3.2 with DCE 3.1 authentication on AIX creates keyfile directories with world-writable permissions, which could allow a local user to delete key files and cause a denial of service.
