Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In March 2005

The CGI module in Ruby 1.6 before 1.6.8, and 1.8 before 1.8.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a certain HTTP request.

Iptables before 1.2.11, under certain conditions, does not properly load the required modules at system startup, which causes the firewall rules to fail to load and protect the system from remote attackers.

Integer overflow on Apple QuickTime before 6.5.2, when running on Windows systems, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via certain inputs that cause a large memory operation.

Multiple buffer overflows in libXML 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 (libxml2), and possibly other versions, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long FTP URL that is not properly handled by the xmlNanoFTPScanURL function, (2) a long proxy URL containing FTP data that is not properly handled by the xmlNanoFTPScanProxy function, and other overflows related to manipulation of DNS length values, including (3) xmlNanoFTPConnect, (4) xmlNanoHTTPConnectHost, and (5) xmlNanoHTTPConnectHost.

Integer overflow in GD Graphics Library libgd 2.0.28 (libgd2), and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via PNG image files with large image rows values that lead to a heap-based buffer overflow in the gdImageCreateFromPngCtx function, a different set of vulnerabilities than CVE-2004-0941.

Format string vulnerability in the -a option (daemon mode) in Proxytunnel before 1.2.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an invalid proxy answer.

Unknown vulnerability in the passwd_check function in Shadow 4.0.4.1, and possibly other versions before 4.0.5, allows local users to conduct unauthorized activities when an error from a pam_chauthtok function call is not properly handled.

Integer underflow in pppd in cbcp.c for ppp 2.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a CBCP packet with an invalid length value that causes pppd to access an incorrect memory location.

Trend ScanMail allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information or disable the anti-virus capability via the smency.nsf file.

Format string vulnerability in the log functions in dhcpd for dhcp 2.x allows remote DNS servers to execute arbitrary code via certain DNS messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0702.

The quoted-printable decoder in bogofilter 0.17.4 to 0.92.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via mail headers that cause a line feed (LF) to be replaced by a null byte that is written to an incorrect memory address.

Buffer overflow in Info-Zip 2.3 and possibly earlier versions, when using recursive folder compression, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ZIP file containing a long pathname.

iCal before 1.5.4 on Mac OS X 10.2.3, and other later versions, does not alert the user when handling calendars that use alarms, which allows attackers to execute programs and send e-mail via alarms.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the -x (extract) command line option in unarj allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via an arj archive with filenames that contain .. (dot dot) sequences.

The Sun Java Plugin capability in Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2_01, 1.4.2_04, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly restrict access between Javascript and Java applets during data transfer, which allows remote attackers to load unsafe classes and execute arbitrary code by using the reflection API to access private Java packages.

fcronsighup in Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions allows local users to gain sensitive information by calling fcronsighup with an arbitrary file, which reveals the contents of the file that can not be parsed in an error message.

fcronsighup in Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions allows local users to bypass access restrictions and load an arbitrary configuration file by starting an suid process and pointing the fcronsighup configuration file to a /proc entry that is owned by root but modifiable by the user, such as /proc/self/cmdline or /proc/self/environ.

fcronsighup in Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions allows local users to delete arbitrary files or create arbitrary empty files via a target filename with a large number of leading slash (/) characters such that fcronsighup does not properly append the intended fcrontab.sig to the resulting string.

Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions leak file descriptors of open files, which allows local users to bypass access restrictions and read fcron.allow and fcron.deny via the EDITOR environment variable.

Buffer overflow in the http_open function in Kaffeine before 0.5, whose code is also used in gxine before 0.3.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Content-Type header for a Real Audio Media (.ram) playlist file.

Multiple integer signedness errors in (1) imapcommon.c, (2) main.c, (3) request.c, and (4) select.c for up-imapproxy IMAP proxy 1.2.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) and possibly leak sensitive information via certain literal values that are not properly handled when using the IMAP_Line_Read function.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the decoding of encoded text in certain headers in mime.php for SquirrelMail 1.4.3a and earlier, and 1.5.1-cvs before 23rd October 2004, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML.

The search function in TWiki 20030201 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a search string.

A design error in the IEEE1394 specification allows attackers with physical access to a device to read and write to sensitive memory using a modified FireWire/IEEE 1394 client, thus bypassing intended restrictions that would normally require greater degrees of physical access to exploit. NOTE: this was reported in 2008 to affect Windows Vista, but some Linux-based operating systems have protection mechanisms against this attack.

sudo before 1.6.8p2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by using "()" style environment variables to create functions that have the same name as any program within the bash script that is called without using the program's full pathname.
