Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In February 2001

Two Sun security certificates have been compromised, which could allow attackers to insert malicious code such as applets and make it appear that it is signed by Sun.

periodic in FreeBSD 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

The presence of the Distributed GL Daemon (dgld) service on port 5232 on SGI IRIX systems allows remote attackers to identify the target host as an SGI system.

HTTP server on the WatchGuard SOHO firewall does not properly restrict access to administrative functions such as password resets or rebooting, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or conduct unauthorized activities.

Buffer overflow in HTTP server on the WatchGuard SOHO firewall allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long GET request.

WatchGuard SOHO firewall allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a flood of fragmented IP packets, which causes the firewall to drop connections and stop forwarding packets.

Microsoft IIS for Far East editions 4.0 and 5.0 allows remote attackers to read source code for parsed pages via a malformed URL that uses the lead-byte of a double-byte character.

Web Extender Client (WEC) in Microsoft Office 2000, Windows 2000, and Windows Me does not properly process Internet Explorer security settings for NTLM authentication, which allows attackers to obtain NTLM credentials and possibly obtain the password, aka the "Web Client NTLM Authentication" vulnerability.

IIS 5.0 and 4.0 allows remote attackers to read the source code for executable web server programs by appending "%3F+.htr" to the requested URL, which causes the files to be parsed by the .HTR ISAPI extension, aka a variant of the "File Fragment Reading via .HTR" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in the parsing mechanism of the file loader in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The Winsock2ProtocolCatalogMutex mutex in Windows NT 4.0 has inappropriate Everyone/Full Control permissions, which allows local users to modify the permissions to "No Access" and disable Winsock network connectivity to cause a denial of service, aka the "Winsock Mutex" vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in NetScreen Firewall WebUI allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long URL request to the web administration interface.

Backdoor account in Interbase database server allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files using stored procedures.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Lotus Domino 5.0.5 web server allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. attack.

Buffer overflow in transaction signature (TSIG) handling code in BIND 8 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

BIND 4 and BIND 8 allow remote attackers to access sensitive information such as environment variables.

Format string vulnerability in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Remote Data Protocol (RDP) in Windows 2000 Terminal Service does not properly handle certain malformed packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, aka the "Invalid RDP Data" vulnerability.

Arrowpoint (aka Cisco Content Services, or CSS) allows local users to cause a denial of service via a long argument to the "show script," "clear script," "show archive," "clear archive," "show log," or "clear log" commands.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Arrowpoint (aka Cisco Content Services, or CSS) allows local unprivileged users to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack.

MailMan Webmail 3.0.25 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the alternate_template parameter.

simplestguest.cgi CGI program by Leif Wright allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the guestbook parameter.

everythingform.cgi CGI program by Leif Wright allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the config parameter.

simplestmail.cgi CGI program by Leif Wright allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the MyEmail parameter.
