CVE Database

GNU Enscript 1.6.1 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files of the Enscript user via a symlink attack on temporary files.

xSANE 0.81 and earlier allows local users to modify files of other xSANE users via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Unknown vulnerability in SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 and earlier allows local users to modify critical information such as certain CPU registers and segment descriptors.

Windows XP with fast user switching and account lockout enabled allows local users to deny user account access by setting the fast user switch to the same user (self) multiple times, which causes other accounts to be locked out.

Point to Point Protocol daemon (pppd) in MacOS x 10.0 and 10.1 through 10.1.5 provides the username and password on the command line, which allows local users to obtain authentication information via the ps command.

setrlimit in HP-UX 10.01, 10.10, 10.24, 10.20, 11.00, 11.04 and 11.11 does not properly enforce core file size on processes after setuid or setgid privileges are dropped, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service by exhausting available disk space.

Win32k.sys (aka Graphics Device Interface (GDI)) in Windows 2000 and XP allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by calling the ShowWindow function after receiving a WM_NCCREATE message.

Linux kernel 2.2.19 enables CAP_SYS_RESOURCE for setuid processes, which allows local users to exceed disk quota restrictions during execution of setuid programs.

CentraOne 5.2 and Centra ASP with basic authentication enabled creates world-writable base64 encoded log files, which allows local users to obtain cleartext passwords from decoded log files and impersonate users.

Tiny Personal Firewall 1.0 and 2.0 allows local users to bypass filtering via non-standard TCP packets created with non-Windows protocol adapters.

ZoneAlarm 2.1 through 2.6 and ZoneAlarm Pro 2.4 and 2.6 allows local users to bypass filtering via non-standard TCP packets created with non-Windows protocol adapters.

mod_usertrack in Apache 1.3.11 through 1.3.20 generates session ID's using predictable information including host IP address, system time and server process ID, which allows local users to obtain session ID's and bypass authentication when these session ID's are used for authentication.

easyNews 1.5 and earlier stores administration passwords in cleartext in settings.php, which allows local users to obtain the passwords and gain access.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in user.php in PostNuke 0.64 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the uname parameter.

Xircom REX 6000 allows local users to obtain the 10 digit PIN by starting a serial monitor, connecting to the personal digital assistant (PDA) via Rextools, and capturing the cleartext PIN.

RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 allows local users to create a spoofed named pipe when the service is stopped, then capture cleartext usernames and passwords when clients connect to the service. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that administrative privileges are already required to exploit it

RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 only creates one session instance at a time, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (RunAs hang) by creating a named pipe session with the authentication server without any request for service. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, however the vendor also presents a scenario in which other users could be affected if running on a Terminal Server. Therefore this is a vulnerability.

RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 stores cleartext authentication information in memory, which could allow attackers to obtain usernames and passwords by executing a process that is allocated the same memory page after termination of a RunAs command. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that administrative privileges are already required to exploit it, and the original researcher did not respond to requests for additional information

The finger daemon (in.fingerd) in Sun Solaris 2.5 through 8 and SunOS 5.5 through 5.8 allows remote attackers to list all accounts on a host by typing finger 'a b c d e f g h'@host.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 through 6.0 could allow local users to differentiate between alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters used in a password by pressing certain control keys that jump between non-alphanumeric characters, which makes it easier to conduct a brute-force password guessing attack.

smcboot in Sun SMC (Sun Management Center) 2.0 in Solaris 8 allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/smc$SMC_PORT.

Hughes Technology Mini SQL 2.0.10 through 2.0.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating a very large array in a table, which causes miniSQL to crash when the table is queried.

Microsoft Internet Explorer for Unix 5.0SP1 allows local users to possibly cause a denial of service (crash) in CDE or the X server on Solaris 2.6 by rapidly scrolling Chinese characters or maximizing the window.

Certain backend drivers in the SANE library 1.0.3 and earlier, as used in frontend software such as XSane, allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

DeltaThree Pc-To-Phone 3.0.3 places sensitive data in world-readable locations in the installation directory, which allows local users to read the information in (1) temp.html, (2) the log folder, and (3) the PhoneBook folder.

Vulnerability in Oracle 8.0.x through 9.0.1 on Unix allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, possibly via a symlink attack or incorrect file permissions in (1) the ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log directory or (2) an alternate directory as specified in the ORACLE_HOME environmental variable, aka the "Oracle File Overwrite Security Vulnerability."

Vulnerability in CIFS/9000 Server (SAMBA) A.01.06 and earlier in HP-UX 11.0 and 11.11, when configured as a print server, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by modifying certain resources.

Internet Explorer 5.0, and possibly other versions, may allow remote attackers (malicious web pages) to read known text files from a client's hard drive via a SCRIPT tag with a SRC value that points to the text file.

Apple MacOS X 10.0 and 10.1 allow a local user to read and write to a user's desktop folder via insecure default permissions for the Desktop when it is created in some languages.

apmscript in Apmd in Red Hat 7.2 "Enigma" allows local users to create or change the modification dates of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the LOW_POWER temporary file, which could be used to cause a denial of service, e.g. by creating /etc/nologin and disabling logins.
