CVE Database

Utah-glx in Mesa before 3.3-14 on Mandrake Linux 7.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/glxmemory file.

Kerberos 4 (aka krb4) allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on new ticket files.

sgml-tools (aka sgmltools) before 1.0.9-15 creates temporary files with insecure permissions, which allows other users to read files that are being processed by sgml-tools.

readline prior to 4.1, in OpenBSD 2.8 and earlier, creates history files with insecure permissions, which allows a local attacker to recover potentially sensitive information via readline history files.

ispell before 3.1.20 allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

vim (aka gvim) allows local users to modify files being edited by other users via a symlink attack on the backup and swap files, when the victim is editing the file in a world writable directory.

The default configuration of the Dr. Watson program in Windows NT and Windows 2000 generates user.dmp crash dump files with world-readable permissions, which could allow a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

ASCII Armor parser in Windows PGP 7.0.3 and earlier allows attackers to create files in arbitrary locations via a malformed ASCII armored file.

makewhatis in the man package before 1.5i2 allows an attacker in group man to overwrite arbitrary files via a man page whose name contains shell metacharacters.

kmmodreg in HP-UX 11.11, 11.04 and 11.00 allows local users to create arbitrary world-writeable files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/.kmmodreg_lock and (2) /tmp/kmpath.tmp temporary files.

Race condition in OpenBSD VFS allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by (1) creating a pipe in one thread and causing another thread to set one of the file descriptors to NULL via a close, or (2) calling dup2 on a file descriptor in one process, then setting the descriptor to NULL via a close in another process that is created via rfork.

sort in FreeBSD 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, uses predictable temporary file names and does not properly handle when the temporary file already exists, which causes sort to crash and possibly impacts security-sensitive scripts.

oidldapd 2.1.1.1 in Oracle 8.1.7 records log files in a directory (ldaplog) that has world-writable permissions, which may allow local users to delete logs and/or overwrite other files via a symlink attack.

Microsoft Windows 2000 Encrypted File System does not properly destroy backups of files that are encrypted, which allows a local attacker to recover the text of encrypted files.

ssh-keygen in ssh 1.2.27 - 1.2.30 with Secure-RPC can allow local attackers to recover a SUN-DES-1 magic phrase generated by another user, which the attacker can use to decrypt that user's private key file.

VShell SSH gateway 1.0.1 and earlier has a default port forwarding rule of 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0, which could allow local users to conduct arbitrary port forwarding to other systems.

Sendmail before 8.11.4, and 8.12.0 before 8.12.0.Beta10, allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly corrupt the heap and gain privileges via race conditions in signal handlers.

Computer Associates ARCserveIT 6.61 and 6.63 (also called ARCservIT) allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the temporary files (1) asagent.tmp or (2) inetd.tmp.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 through 6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a crafted FTP URL such as "/.#./".

Linux CUPS before 1.1.6 does not securely handle temporary files, possibly due to a symlink vulnerability that could allow local users to overwrite files.

mandb in the man-db package before 2.3.16-3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via the command line options (1) -u or (2) -c, which do not drop privileges and follow symlinks.

Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Java clients allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a Java applet that opens a large number of UDP sockets, which prevents the host from establishing any additional UDP connections, and possibly causes a crash.

Race condition in ptrace in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.2 allows local users to gain privileges by using ptrace to track and modify a running setuid process.

VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) 1.3.0 on Solaris allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) via the -L option to the lltstat command.

Moby Netsuite Web Server 1.02 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long HTTP request.

pgp4pine Pine/PGP interface version 1.75-6 does not properly check to see if a public key has expired when obtaining the keys via Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG), which causes the message to be sent in cleartext.

The password protection option for the Compressed Folders feature in Plus! for Windows 98 and Windows Me writes password information to a file, which allows local users to recover the passwords and read the compressed folders.

Unknown vulnerabilities in the UDP port allocation for Linux kernel before 2.2.19 could allow local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock).

Certain operations in Linux kernel before 2.2.19 on the x86 architecture copy the wrong number of bytes, which might allow attackers to modify memory, aka "User access asm bug on x86."

The System V (SYS5) shared memory implementation for Linux kernel before 2.2.19 could allow attackers to modify recently freed memory.
