Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In October 2001

Format string vulnerability in ToolTalk database server rpc.ttdbserverd allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via format string specifiers that are passed to the syslog function.

Buffer overflow in Web Publisher in iPlanet Web Server Enterprise Edition 4.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a request for a long URI with (1) GETPROPERTIES, (2) GETATTRIBUTENAMES, or other methods.

Buffer overflow in rpc.yppasswdd (yppasswd server) in Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8 allows remote attackers to gain root access via a long username.

Format string vulnerability in avpkeeper in Kaspersky KAV 3.5.135.2 for Sendmail allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed mail message.

Apache on MacOS X Client 10.0.3 with the HFS+ file system allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions via a URL that contains some characters whose case is not matched by Apache's filters.

Symantec LiveUpdate before 1.6 does not use cryptography to ensure the integrity of download files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS spoofing of the update.symantec.com site.

Example applications (Exampleapps) in ColdFusion Server 4.x do not properly restrict prevent access from outside the local host's domain, which allows remote attackers to conduct upload, read, or execute files by spoofing the "HTTP Host" (CGI.Host) variable in (1) the "Web Publish" example script, and (2) the "Email" example script.

Internet Explorer 5.5 and 5.01 allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions via malformed URLs that contain dotless IP addresses, which causes Internet Explorer to process the page in the Intranet Zone, which may have fewer security restrictions, aka the "Zone Spoofing vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause certain HTTP requests to be automatically executed and appear to come from the user, which could allow attackers to gain privileges or execute operations within web-based services, aka the "HTTP Request Encoding vulnerability."

Internet Explorer 6 and earlier, when used with the Telnet client in Services for Unix (SFU) 2.0, allows remote attackers to execute commands by spawning Telnet with a log file option on the command line and writing arbitrary code into an executable file which is later executed, aka a new variant of the Telnet Invocation vulnerability as described in CVE-2001-0150.

Various Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) including (1) Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System, (2) Cisco Catalyst 6000 Intrusion Detection System Module, (3) Dragon Sensor 4.x, (4) Snort before 1.8.1, (5) ISS RealSecure Network Sensor 5.x and 6.x before XPU 3.2, and (6) ISS RealSecure Server Sensor 5.5 and 6.0 for Windows, allow remote attackers to evade detection of HTTP attacks via non-standard "%u" Unicode encoding of ASCII characters in the requested URL.

Buffer overflow in BSD line printer daemon (in.lpd or lpd) in various BSD-based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an incomplete print job followed by a request to display the printer queue.

The rendering engine in Internet Explorer determines the MIME type independently of the type that is specified by the server, which allows remote servers to automatically execute script which is placed in a file whose MIME type does not normally support scripting, such as text (.txt), JPEG (.jpg), etc.

Vulnerability in (1) Microsoft Excel 2002 and earlier and (2) Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 and earlier allows attackers to bypass macro restrictions and execute arbitrary commands by modifying the data stream in the document.

The #sinclude directive in Embedded Perl (ePerl) 2.2.14 and earlier allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by modifying the 'sinclude' file to point to another file that contains a #include directive that references a file that contains the code.

A long 'synch' delay in Logitech wireless mice and keyboard receivers allows a remote attacker to hijack connections via a man-in-the-middle attack.

Buffer overflow in Computalynx CMail POP3 mail server 2.4.9 allows remote attackers to run arbitrary code via a long HELO command.

Buffer overflow in iPlanet Web Server (iWS) Enterprise Edition 4.1, service packs 3 through 7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long method name in an HTTP request.

Cisco switches and routers running CBOS 2.3.8 and earlier use predictable TCP Initial Sequence Numbers (ISN), which allows remote attackers to spoof or hijack TCP connections.

Cisco CBOS 2.3.8 and earlier stores the passwords for (1) exec and (2) enable in cleartext in the NVRAM and a configuration file, which could allow unauthorized users to obtain the passwords and gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in ftp daemon (ftpd) 6.2 in Debian GNU/Linux allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long SITE command.

CatalogMgr.pl in VirtualCatalog (incorrectly claimed to be in VirtualCart) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the template parameter.

Cisco 6400 Access Concentrator Node Route Processor 2 (NRP2) 12.1DC card does not properly disable access when a password has not been set for vtys, which allows remote attackers to obtain access via telnet.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Shambala 4.5 allows remote attackers to escape the FTP root directory via "CWD ..." command.

Buffer overflow in HttpSave.dll in Trend Micro InterScan WebManager 1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long value to a certain parameter.
