Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In November 2003

Format string vulnerability in gm4 (aka m4) on Mac OS X may allow local users to gain privileges if gm4 is called by setuid programs.

nidump on MacOS X before 10.3 allows local users to read the encrypted passwords from the password file by specifying passwd as a command line argument.

OpenSSL 0.9.6e uses assertions when detecting buffer overflow attacks instead of less severe mechanisms, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain messages that cause OpenSSL to abort from a failed assertion, as demonstrated using SSLv2 CLIENT_MASTER_KEY messages, which are not properly handled in s2_srvr.c.

gv 3.5.8, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the filename for (1) a PDF file or (2) a gzip file.

Heap-based buffer overflow in snmpnetstat for ucd-snmp 4.2.3 and earlier, and net-snmp, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple getnextrequest PDU messages with conflicting ifindex variables, which cause snmpnetstat to write variable data past the end of an array.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in (1) mod_alias and (2) mod_rewrite for Apache before 1.3.29 allow attackers to create configuration files to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a regular expression with more than 9 captures.

Integer overflow in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an SSL client certificate with certain ASN.1 tag values.

OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 does not properly track the number of characters in certain ASN.1 inputs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an SSL client certificate that causes OpenSSL to read past the end of a buffer when the long form is used.

Double free vulnerability in OpenSSL 0.9.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an SSL client certificate with a certain invalid ASN.1 encoding.

psdoccgi.exe in PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.4 through 8.43 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the (1) headername or (2) footername arguments.

Buffer overflow in a function in User32.dll on Windows NT through Server 2003 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via long (1) LB_DIR messages to ListBox or (2) CB_DIR messages to ComboBox controls in a privileged application.

The Authenticode capability in Microsoft Windows NT through Server 2003 does not prompt the user to download and install ActiveX controls when the system is low on memory, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code without user approval.

Buffer overflow in Troubleshooter ActiveX Control (Tshoot.ocx) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTML document with a long argument to the RunQuery2 method.

NFS in SGI 6.5.21m and 6.5.21f does not perform access checks in certain configurations when an /etc/exports entry uses wildcards without any hostnames or groups, which could allow attackers to bypass intended restrictions.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the PCHealth system in the Help and Support Center function in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long query in an HCP URL.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML encoding for the Compose New Message form in Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Outlook Web Access (OWA) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script.

The Internet Mail Service in Exchange Server 5.5 and Exchange 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) by directly connecting to the SMTP service and sending a certain extended verb request, possibly triggering a buffer overflow in Exchange 2000.

The Messenger Service for Windows NT through Server 2003 does not properly verify the length of the message, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack.

The SSH1 PAM challenge response authentication in OpenSSH 3.7.1 and 3.7.1p1, when Privilege Separation is disabled, does not check the result of the authentication attempt, which can allow remote attackers to gain privileges.

The PAM conversation function in OpenSSH 3.7.1 and 3.7.1p1 interprets an array of structures as an array of pointers, which allows attackers to modify the stack and possibly gain privileges.

mod_cgid in Apache before 2.0.48, when using a threaded MPM, does not properly handle CGI redirect paths, which could cause Apache to send the output of a CGI program to the wrong client.

Fetchmail 6.2.4 and earlier does not properly allocate memory for long lines, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a certain email.

GDM 2.4.4.x before 2.4.4.4, and 2.4.1.x before 2.4.1.7, does not restrict the size of input, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).

GDM 2.4.4.x before 2.4.4.4, and 2.4.1.x before 2.4.1.7, does not limit the number or duration of commands and uses a blocking socket connection, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by sending commands and not reading the results.

The arplookup function in FreeBSD 5.1 and earlier, Mac OS X before 10.2.8, and possibly other BSD-based systems, allows remote attackers on a local subnet to cause a denial of service (resource starvation and panic) via a flood of spoofed ARP requests.
