SUSE SuSE Linux 9.0

The load_elf_binary function in the binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly check return values from calls to the kernel_read function, which may allow local users to modify sensitive memory in a setuid program and execute arbitrary code.

The binfmt_elf loader (binfmt_elf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly handle a failed call to the mmap function, which causes an incorrect mapped image and may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allow local users to gain privileges or access kernel memory, as found by the Sparse source code checking tool.

Buffer overflow in ptrace in the Linux Kernel for 64-bit architectures allows local users to write bytes into kernel memory.

Unknown vulnerability in MySQL 3.23.58 and earlier, when a local user has privileges for a database whose name includes a "_" (underscore), grants privileges to other databases that have similar names, which can allow the user to conduct unauthorized activities.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ht://dig (htdig) before 3.1.6-r7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML via the config parameter, which is not properly sanitized before it is displayed in an error message.

Multiple vulnerabilities in the samba filesystem (smbfs) in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allow remote samba servers to cause a denial of service (crash) or gain sensitive information from kernel memory via a samba server (1) returning more data than requested to the smb_proc_read function, (2) returning a data offset from outside the samba packet to the smb_proc_readX function, (3) sending a certain TRANS2 fragmented packet to the smb_receive_trans2 function, (4) sending a samba packet with a certain header size to the smb_proc_readX_data function, or (5) sending a certain packet based offset for the data in a packet to the smb_receive_trans2 function.

The smb_recv_trans2 function call in the samba filesystem (smbfs) in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 does not properly handle the re-assembly of fragmented packets correctly, which could allow remote samba servers to (1) read arbitrary kernel information or (2) raise a counter value to an arbitrary number by sending the first part of the fragmented packet multiple times.

The RedCarpet /etc/ximian/rcd.conf configuration file in Novell Linux Desktop 9 and SUSE SLES 9 has world-readable permissions, which allows attackers to obtain the rc (RedCarpet) password.

liby2util in Yet another Setup Tool (YaST) in SUSE Linux before 20051007 preserves permissions and ownerships when copying a remote repository, which might allow local users to read or modify sensitive files, possibly giving local users the ability to exploit CVE-2005-3013.

Race condition in the (1) load_elf_library and (2) binfmt_aout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.

Buffer overflow in the BMP loader in imlib2 before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially-crafted BMP image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0817.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the VideoCD (VCD) code in xine-lib 1-rc2 through 1-rc5, as derived from libcdio, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a VideoCD with an unterminated disk label.

Opera 7.54 and earlier uses kfmclient exec to handle unknown MIME types, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a shortcut or launcher that contains an Exec entry.

Samba 3.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and memory exhaustion) via certain malformed requests that cause new processes to be spawned and enter an infinite loop.

Multiple integer overflows in libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or memory corruption) via TIFF images that lead to incorrect malloc calls.

Multiple vulnerabilities in Konqueror in KDE 3.3.1 and earlier (1) allow access to restricted Java classes via JavaScript and (2) do not properly restrict access to certain Java classes from the Java applet, which allows remote attackers to bypass sandbox restrictions and read or write arbitrary files.

Unknown vulnerability in the PPP driver for the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a pppd client.

MySQL before 4.0.20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a MATCH AGAINST query with an opening double quote but no closing double quote.

Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference.

The tcp_find_option function of the netfilter subsystem in Linux kernel 2.6, when using iptables and TCP options rules, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption by infinite loop) via a large option length that produces a negative integer after a casting operation to the char type.

Unspecified vulnerability in Squid on SUSE Linux 9.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via HTTPs (SSL).

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unknown attack vectors.

Unknown vulnerability in the DICOM dissector in Ethereal 0.10.4 through 0.10.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).

Ethereal 0.9.0 through 0.10.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a certain malformed SMB packet.

The CCITTFaxStream::CCITTFaxStream function in Stream.cc for xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others allows attackers to corrupt the heap via negative or large integers in a CCITTFaxDecode stream, which lead to integer overflows and integer underflows.

exif.c in PHP before 4.3.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) via an EXIF header with a large IFD nesting level, which causes significant stack recursion.

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via "a corrupt section header."

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a null dereference.

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by causing mc to free unallocated memory.

Midnight commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via "use of already freed memory."

direntry.c in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service by "manipulating non-existing file handles."

The RedCarpet command-line client (rug) does not verify SSL certificates from a server, which allows remote attackers to read network traffic and execute commands via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to perform cross-domain scripting and possibly execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to drag and drop javascript: links to a frame or page in another domain.

The EPSF pipe support in enscript 1.6.3 allows remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

chkstat in SuSE Linux 9.0 through 10.0 allows local users to modify permissions of files by creating a hardlink to a file from a world-writable directory, which can cause the link count to drop to 1 when the file is deleted or replaced, which is then modified by chkstat to use weaker permissions.

ld in SUSE Linux 9.1 through 10.0, and SLES 9, in certain circumstances when linking binaries, can leave an empty RPATH or RUNPATH, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as other users via by running an ld-linked application from the current directory, which could contain an attacker-controlled library file.

xfs_fsr in xfsdump creates a .fsr temporary directory with insecure permissions, which allows local users to read or overwrite arbitrary files on xfs filesystems.
