CVE Database

The linux-2.4.21-mlock.patch in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not properly maintain the mlock page count when one process unlocks pages that belong to another process, which allows local users to mlock more memory than specified by the rlimit.

The built-in web servers for multiple networking devices do not set the Secure attribute for sensitive cookies in HTTPS sessions, which could cause the user agent to send those cookies in plaintext over an HTTP session with the same server.

TYPSoft FTP Server 1.10 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via "//../" arguments to (1) mkd, (2) xmkd, (3) dele, (4) size, (5) retr, (6) stor, (7) appe, (8) rnfr, (9) rnto, (10) rmd, or (11) xrmd, as demonstrated using "//../qwerty".

The (1) fixps (aka fixps.in) and (2) psmandup (aka psmandup.in) scripts in a2ps before 4.13 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The xdvizilla script in tetex-bin 2.0.2 creates temporary files with predictable file names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Multiple race conditions in the terminal layer in Linux 2.4.x, and 2.6.x before 2.6.9, allow (1) local users to obtain portions of kernel data via a TIOCSETD ioctl call to a terminal interface that is being accessed by another thread, or (2) remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) by switching from console to PPP line discipline, then quickly sending data that is received during the switch.

Roaring Penguin pppoe (rp-ppoe), if installed or configured to run setuid root contrary to its design, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files. NOTE: the developer has publicly disputed the claim that this is a vulnerability because pppoe "is NOT designed to run setuid-root." Therefore this identifier applies *only* to those configurations and installations under which pppoe is run setuid root despite the developer's warnings.

The tspc.conf configuration file in freenet6 before 0.9.6 and before 1.0 on Debian Linux has world readable permissions, which could allow local users to gain sensitive information, such as a username and password.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in MMDF on OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7, and possibly other operating systems, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a core dump.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in MMDF on OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7, and possibly other operating systems, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a null dereference.

Race condition in the rmtree function in the File::Path module in Perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.4 sets read/write permissions for the world, which allows local users to delete arbitrary files and directories, and possibly read files and directories, via a symlink attack.

The Microsoft Windows Media Player 9.0 ActiveX control may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script in the Local computer zone via the (1) artist or (2) song fields of a music file, if the file is processed using Internet Explorer.

Multiple syscalls in the compat subsystem for NetBSD before 2.0 allow local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a large signal number to (1) xxx_sys_kill, (2) xxx_sys_sigaction, and possibly other translation functions.

Memory leak in the ip_options_get function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly calling the ip_cmsg_send function.

Integer overflow in the ip_options_get function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a cmsg_len that contains a -1, which leads to a buffer overflow.

Integer overflow in the vc_resize function in the Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 before 2.6.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a short new screen value, which leads to a buffer overflow.

Apple Mac OS X 10.3.4, 10.4, 10.5, and possibly other versions does not properly clear memory for login (aka Loginwindow.app), Keychain, or FileVault passwords, which could allow the root user or an attacker with physical access to obtain sensitive information by reading memory.

FreeBSD 5.1 for the Alpha processor allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an execve system call with an unaligned memory address as an argument.

The binary compatibility mode for FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x does not properly handle certain Linux system calls, which could allow local users to access kernel memory to gain privileges or cause a system panic.

Floating point information leak in the context switch code for Linux 2.4.x only checks the MFH bit but does not verify the FPH owner, which allows local users to read register values of other processes by setting the MFH bit.

Unknown vulnerability in Linux kernel 2.x may allow local users to modify the group ID of files, such as NFS exported files in kernel 2.4.

Terminal for Apple Mac OS X 10.3.6 may indicate that "Secure Keyboard Entry" is enabled even when it is not, which could result in a false sense of security for the user.

Human Interface Toolbox (HIToolBox) for Apple Mac 0S X 10.3.6 allows local users to exit applications via the force-quit key combination, even when the system is running in kiosk mode.

The Application Framework (AppKit) for Apple Mac OS X 10.2.8 and 10.3.6 does not properly restrict access to a secure text input field, which allows local users to read keyboard input from other applications within the same window session.

Linux kernel does not properly convert 64-bit file offset pointers to 32 bits, which allows local users to access portions of kernel memory.

Spider Sales shopping cart stores the private key in the same database and table as the public key, which allows local users with access to the database to decrypt data.

SpiderSales shopping cart does not enforce a minimum length for the private key, which can make it easier for local users to obtain the private key by factoring.

WFTPD Pro Server 3.21 Release 1 allocates memory for a command until a 0Ah byte (newline) is sent, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by continuing to send a long command that does not contain a newline.

Unknown vulnerability in nCipher Hardware Security Modules (HSM) 1.67.x through 1.99.x allows local users to access secrets stored in the module's run-time memory via certain sequences of commands.

Buffer overflow in smallftpd 0.99 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an FTP request with a large number of "/" (slash) characters.
