CVE Database

Directory traversal vulnerability in rar 2.02 and earlier allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction via a .. (dot dot) attack on archived filenames.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the console version of PKZip (pkzipc) 4.00 and earlier allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction with the -rec (recursive) option via a .. (dot dot) attack on the archived files.

Info-ZIP UnZip 5.42 and earlier allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction via filenames in the archive that begin with the '/' (slash) character.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Info-ZIP UnZip 5.42 and earlier allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction via a .. (dot dot) in an extracted filename.

Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU tar 1.13.19 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files during archive extraction via a tar file whose filenames contain a .. (dot dot).

AllCommerce with debugging enabled in EnGarde Secure Linux 1.0.1 creates temporary files with predictable names, which allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack.

xinetd 2.1.8 and earlier runs with a default umask of 0, which could allow local users to read or modify files that are created by an application that runs under xinetd but does not set its own safe umask.

Lmail 2.7 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

Cisco CBOS 2.3.0.053 sends output of the "sh nat" (aka "show nat") command to the terminal of the next user who attempts to connect to the router via telnet, which could allow that user to obtain sensitive information.

Preview version of Timbuktu for Mac OS X allows local users to modify System Preferences without logging in via the About Timbuktu menu.

Vulnerability in exuberant-ctags before 3.2.4-0.1 insecurely creates temporary files.

Samba before 2.2.0 allows local attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack using (1) a printer queue query, (2) the more command in smbclient, or (3) the mput command in smbclient.

ppd in Reliant Sinix allows local users to corrupt arbitrary files via a symlink attack in the /tmp/ppd.trace file.

pcltotiff in HP-UX 10.x has unnecessary set group id permissions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service.

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.
