Red Hat fedora_core core_3.0

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.

lppasswd in CUPS 1.1.22, when run in environments that do not ensure that file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are open when lppasswd is called, does not verify that the passwd.new file is different from STDERR, which allows local users to control output to passwd.new via certain user input that triggers an error message.

lppasswd in CUPS 1.1.22 ignores write errors when modifying the CUPS passwd file, which allows local users to corrupt the file by filling the associated file system and triggering the write errors.

KDE 3.2.x and 3.3.0 through 3.3.2, when saving credentials that are (1) manually entered by the user or (2) created by the SMB protocol handler, stores those credentials for plaintext in the user's .desktop file, which may be created with world-readable permissions, which could allow local users to obtain usernames and passwords for remote resources such as SMB shares.

The netatalk package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
