Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In January 2001

Small HTTP Server 2.03 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by repeatedly requesting a URL that references a directory that does not contain an index.html file, which consumes memory that is not released after the request is completed.

Small HTTP Server 2.01 does not properly process Server Side Includes (SSI) tags that contain null values, which allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to cause the server to crash by inserting the SSI into an HTML file.

Small HTTP Server 2.01 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by connecting to the server and sending out multiple GET, HEAD, or POST requests and closing the connection before the server responds to the requests.

Various TCP/IP stacks and network applications allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by flooding a target host with TCP connection attempts and completing the TCP/IP handshake without maintaining the connection state on the attacker host, aka the "NAPTHA" class of vulnerabilities. NOTE: this candidate may change significantly as the security community discusses the technical nature of NAPTHA and learns more about the affected applications. This candidate is at a higher level of abstraction than is typical for CVE.

The xp_displayparamstmt function in SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

The xp_enumresultset function in SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

The xp_showcolv function in SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

The xp_updatecolvbm function in SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

The xp_peekqueue function in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

The xp_printstatements function in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

The xp_proxiedmetadata function in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

The xp_SetSQLSecurity function in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) does not properly restrict the length of a buffer before calling the srv_paraminfo function in the SQL Server API for Extended Stored Procedures (XP), which allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Extended Stored Procedure Parameter Parsing" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Phone Book Service allows local users to execute arbitrary commands, aka the "Phone Book Service Buffer Overflow" vulnerability.

loadpage.cgi CGI program in EZshopper 3.0 and 2.0 allows remote attackers to list and read files in the EZshopper data directory by inserting a "/" in front of the target filename in the "file" parameter.

Buffer overflow in AOL Instant Messenger before 4.3.2229 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long "goim" command.

Buffer overflow in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) before 4.3.2229 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a "buddyicon" command with a long "src" argument.

modprobe in the modutils 2.3.x package on Linux systems allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

crontab by Paul Vixie uses predictable file names for a temporary file and does not properly ensure that the file is owned by the user executing the crontab -e command, which allows local users with write access to the crontab spool directory to execute arbitrary commands by creating world-writeable temporary files and modifying them while the victim is editing the file.

The web server for the SonicWALL SOHO firewall allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long username in the authentication page.

The web server for the SonicWALL SOHO firewall allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an empty GET or POST request.

Java Runtime Environment in Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2.2_05 and earlier can allow an untrusted Java class to call into a disallowed class, which could allow an attacker to escape the Java sandbox and conduct unauthorized activities.

The default configuration for PostACI webmail system installs the /includes/global.inc configuration file within the web root, which allows remote attackers to read sensitive information such as database usernames and passwords via a direct HTTP GET request.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Winsock FTPd (WFTPD) 3.00 and 2.41 with the "Restrict to home directory" option enabled allows local users to escape the home directory via a "/../" string, a variation of the .. (dot dot) attack.

PTlink IRCD 3.5.3 and PTlink Services 1.8.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via "mode +owgscfxeb" and "oper" commands.

rcvtty in BSD 3.0 and 4.0 does not properly drop privileges before executing a script, which allows local attackers to gain privileges by specifying an alternate Trojan horse script on the command line.
