Debian Debian Linux 3.0

The (1) semi MIME library 1.14.5 and earlier, and (2) wemi 1.14.0 and possibly other versions, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The tpkg-* scripts in the toolchain-source 3.0.4 package on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The KDE screen saver in KDE before 3.0.5 does not properly check the return value from a certain function call, which allows attackers with physical access to cause a crash and access the desktop session.

Buffer overflow in Eterm 0.9.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a long ETERMPATH environment variable.

The Apache HTTP server before 1.3.34, and 2.0.x before 2.0.55, when acting as an HTTP proxy, allows remote attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a Content-Length header, which causes Apache to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka "HTTP Request Smuggling."

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in start_form() of CGI.pm allows remote attackers to insert web script via a URL that is fed into the form's action parameter.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpLDAPadmin 0.9.8 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) dn parameter in (a) compare_form.php, (b) copy_form.php, (c) rename_form.php, (d) template_engine.php, and (e) delete_form.php; (2) scope parameter in (f) search.php; and (3) Container DN, (4) Machine Name, and (5) UID Number fields in (g) template_engine.php.

MySQL 4.x before 4.0.21, and 3.x before 3.23.49, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or hang) via multiple threads that simultaneously alter MERGE table UNIONs.

main.c in cscope 15-4 and 15-5 creates temporary files with predictable filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Vulnerability in FAM 2.6.8, 2.6.6, and other versions allows unprivileged users to obtain the names of files whose access is restricted to the root group.

cpio on FreeBSD 2.1.0, Debian GNU/Linux 3.0, and possibly other operating systems, uses a 0 umask when creating files using the -O (archive) or -F options, which creates the files with mode 0666 and allows local users to read or overwrite those files.

znew in the gzip package allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The DBI library (libdbi-perl) for Perl allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary PID file.

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 installs the libpam-radius-auth package with the pam_radius_auth.conf set to be world-readable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

Multiple vulnerabilities in suidperl 5.6.1 and earlier allow a local user to obtain sensitive information about files for which the user does not have appropriate permissions.

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.

romload.c in DGen Emulator 1.23 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files during decompression of (1) gzip or (2) bzip ROM files.

snmptrapfmt in Debian 3.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary log file.
