Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In November 2002

Buffer overflows in the DNS stub resolver library in ISC BIND 4.9.2 through 4.9.10, and other derived libraries such as BSD libc and GNU glibc, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via DNS server responses that trigger the overflow in the (1) getnetbyname, or (2) getnetbyaddr functions, aka "LIBRESOLV: buffer overrun" and a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0684.

The administration module for Oracle Web Cache in Oracle9iAS (9i Application Suite) 9.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via (1) an HTTP GET request containing a ".." (dot dot) sequence, or (2) a malformed HTTP GET request with a chunked Transfer-Encoding with missing data.

IPSEC implementations including (1) FreeS/WAN and (2) KAME do not properly calculate the length of authentication data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via spoofed, short Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packets, which result in integer signedness errors.

Unknown vulnerability in Cluster Interconnect for HP TruCluster Server 5.0A, 5.1, and 5.1A may allow local and remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

Unknown vulnerability in the hosting process (dllhost.exe) for Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 through 5.1 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by executing an out of process application that acquires LocalSystem privileges, aka "Out of Process Privilege Elevation."

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Remote Data Services (RDS) component of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.1 through 2.6, and Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0, allows remote attackers to execute code via a malformed HTTP request to the Data Stub.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability in the mod_ssl Apache module 2.8.9 and earlier, when UseCanonicalName is off and wildcard DNS is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute script as other web site visitors, via the server name in an HTTPS response on the SSL port, which is used in a self-referencing URL, a different vulnerability than CAN-2002-0840.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in IBM Web Traffic Express Caching Proxy Server 3.6 and 4.x before 4.0.1.26 allows remote attackers to execute script as other users via an HTTP GET request.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in IBM Web Traffic Express Caching Proxy Server 3.6 and 4.x before 4.0.1.26 allows remote attackers to execute script as other users via an HTTP request that contains an Location: header with a "%0a%0d" (CRLF) sequence, which echoes the Location as an HTTP header in the server response.

IBM Web Traffic Express Caching Proxy Server 3.6 and 4.x before 4.0.1.26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTTP request to helpout.exe with a missing HTTP version number, which causes ibmproxy.exe to crash.

A typographical error in the script source access permissions for Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 does not properly exclude .COM files, which allows attackers with only write permissions to upload malicious .COM files, aka "Script Source Access Vulnerability."

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the administrative web pages for Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 through 5.1 allow remote attackers to execute HTML script as other users through (1) a certain ASP file in the IISHELP virtual directory, or (2) possibly other unknown attack vectors.

IIS 5.0 and 5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via malformed WebDAV requests that cause a large amount of memory to be assigned.

The system root folder of Microsoft Windows 2000 has default permissions of Everyone group with Full access (Everyone:F) and is in the search path when locating programs during login or application launch from the desktop, which could allow attackers to gain privileges as other users via Trojan horse programs.

Netscape Communicator 4.x allows attackers to use a link to steal a user's preferences, including potentially sensitive information such as URL history, e-mail address, and possibly the e-mail password, by redefining the user_pref() function and accessing the prefs.js file, which is stored in a directory with a predictable name.

Directory traversal vulnerability in SolarWinds TFTP Server 5.0.55, and possibly earlier, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via "..\" (dot-dot backslash) sequences in a GET request.

Qualcomm Eudora 5.1.1, 5.2, and possibly other versions stores email attachments in a predictable location, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a link that loads an attachment with malicious script into a frame, which then executes the script in the local browser context.

Prometheus 6.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a modified PROMETHEUS_LIBRARY_BASE that points to code stored on a remote server, which is then used in (1) index.php, (2) install.php, or (3) various test_*.php scripts.

Buffer overflow in named in BIND 4 versions 4.9.10 and earlier, and 8 versions 8.3.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain DNS server response containing SIG resource records (RR).

BIND 8.3.x through 8.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (termination due to assertion failure) via a request for a subdomain that does not exist, with an OPT resource record with a large UDP payload size.

BIND 8.x through 8.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via SIG RR elements with invalid expiry times, which are removed from the internal BIND database and later cause a null dereference.

NetDDE Agent on Windows NT 4.0, 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP allows local users to execute arbitrary code as LocalSystem via "shatter" style attack by sending a WM_COPYDATA message followed by a WM_TIMER message, as demonstrated by GetAd, aka "Flaw in Windows WM_TIMER Message Handling Could Enable Privilege Elevation."

SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service via an rcp call on /proc.

Memory leak in ypdb_open in yp_db.c for ypserv before 2.5 in the NIS package 3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of requests for a map that does not exist.

A regression error in the Debian distributions of the apache-ssl package (before 1.3.9 on Debian 2.2, and before 1.3.26 on Debian 3.0), for Apache 1.3.27 and earlier, allows local users to read or modify the Apache password file via a symlink attack on temporary files when the administrator runs (1) htpasswd or (2) htdigest, a re-introduction of a vulnerability that was originally identified and addressed by CVE-2001-0131.
