Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In January 2004

The getipnodebyname() API in AIX 5.1 and 5.2 does not properly close sockets, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).

Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Outlook Web Access (OWA), when configured to use NTLM authentication, does not properly reuse HTTP connections, which can cause OWA users to view mailboxes of other users when Kerberos has been disabled as an authentication method for IIS 6.0, e.g. when SharePoint Services 2.0 is installed.

Buffer overflows in (1) try_netscape_proxy and (2) try_squid_eplf for lftp 2.6.9 and earlier allow remote HTTP servers to execute arbitrary code via long directory names that are processed by the ls or rels commands.

mpg321 0.2.10 allows remote attackers to overwrite memory and possibly execute arbitrary code via an mp3 file that passes certain strings to the printf function, possibly triggering a format string vulnerability.

CVS server before 1.11.10 may allow attackers to cause the CVS server to create directories and files in the file system root directory via malformed module requests.

Format string vulnerability in gpgkeys_hkp (experimental HKP interface) for the GnuPG (gpg) client 1.2.3 and earlier, and 1.3.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers or a malicious keyserver to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code during key retrieval.

FreeScripts VisitorBook LE (visitorbook.pl) does not properly escape line breaks in input, which allows remote attackers to (1) use VisitorBook as an open mail relay, when $mailuser is 1, via extra headers in the email field, or (2) cause the guestbook database to be deleted via a large number of line breaks that exceeds the $max_posts variable.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in FreeScripts VisitorBook LE (visitorbook.pl) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or web script via (1) the "do" parameter, (2) via the "user" parameter from a host with a malicious reverse DNS name, (3) via quote marks or ampersands in other parameters.

FreeScripts VisitorBook LE (visitorbook.pl) logs the reverse DNS name of a visiting host, which allows remote attackers to spoof the origin of their incoming requests and facilitate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Buffer overflow in the authentication module for Cisco ACNS 4.x before 4.2.11, and 5.x before 5.0.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long password.

Cisco Unity on IBM servers is shipped with default settings that should have been disabled by the manufacturer, which allows local or remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via (1) a "bubba" local user account, (2) an open TCP port 34571, or (3) when a local DHCP server is unavailable, a DHCP server on the manufacturer's test network.

Real time clock (RTC) routines in Linux kernel 2.4.23 and earlier do not properly initialize their structures, which could leak kernel data to user space.

The mremap system call (do_mremap) in Linux kernel 2.4.x before 2.4.21, and possibly other versions before 2.4.24, does not properly perform bounds checks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges by causing a remapping of a virtual memory area (VMA) to create a zero length VMA, a different vulnerability than CAN-2004-0077.

The parseAddress code in (1) SquirrelMail 1.4.0 and (2) GPG Plugin 1.1 allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the "To:" field.

Buffer overflow in the Microsoft Message Queue Manager (MSQM) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (RPC service crash) via a queue registration request.

Unknown "System Security Vulnerability" in Computer Associates (CA) Unicenter Remote Control (URC) 6.0 allows attackers to gain privileges via the help interface.

Unknown "Denial of Service Attack" vulnerability in Computer Associates (CA) Unicenter Remote Control (URC) 6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption in URC host service).

Unknown "potential system security vulnerability" in Computer Associates (CA) Unicenter Remote Control 5.0 through 5.2, and ControlIT 5.0 and 5.1, may allow attackers to gain privileges to the local system account.

Unknown multiple vulnerabilities in (1) lpstat and (2) the libprint library in Solaris 2.6 through 9 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or read or write arbitrary files.

xchat 2.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a passive DCC request with an invalid ID number, which causes a null dereference.

Buffer overflow in the Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 series devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via HTTP auth requests for (1) TACACS+ or (2) RADIUS authentication.

Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 series devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via an SNMPv3 message when snmp-server is set.

Cisco PIX firewall 5.x.x, and 6.3.1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via an SNMPv3 message when snmp-server is set.

Cisco PIX firewall 6.2.x through 6.2.3, when configured as a VPN Client, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (dropped IPSec tunnel connection) via an IKE Phase I negotiation request to the outside interface of the firewall.

The SMB dissector in Ethereal before 0.10.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed SMB packet that triggers a segmentation fault during processing of Selected packets.
