Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In January 2008

Sun JRE 5.0 before update 14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Internet Explorer crash) via an object tag with an encoded applet and an undefined name attribute, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference in jpiexp32.dll when the applet is decoded and passed to the JVM.

The kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003, when ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (RDP) is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via fragmented router advertisement ICMP packets that trigger an out-of-bounds read, aka "Windows Kernel TCP/IP/ICMP Vulnerability."

Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel in Microsoft Windows XP SP2, Server 2003, and Vista allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted (1) IGMPv3 and (2) MLDv2 packets that trigger memory corruption, aka "Windows Kernel TCP/IP/IGMPv3 and MLDv2 Vulnerability."

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (backend crash) via an out-of-bounds backref number.

libicu in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 3.8.1 and earlier attempts to process backreferences to the nonexistent capture group zero (aka \0), which might allow context-dependent attackers to read from, or write to, out-of-bounds memory locations, related to corruption of REStackFrames.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the doInterval function in regexcmp.cpp in libicu in International Components for Unicode (ICU) 3.8.1 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a regular expression that writes a large amount of data to the backtracking stack. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The regular expression parser in TCL before 8.4.17, as used in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, and 7.4 before 7.4.19, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted regular expression.

curl/interface.c in the cURL library (aka libcurl) in PHP 5.2.4 and 5.2.5 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions and read arbitrary files via a file:// request containing a \x00 sequence, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-2563.

cp, when running with an option to preserve symlinks on multiple OSes, allows local, user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack using crafted directories containing multiple source files that are copied to the same destination.

Unspecified vulnerability in Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted local procedure call (LPC) request.

Buffer overflow in OpenPegasus Management server, when compiled to use PAM and with PEGASUS_USE_PAM_STANDALONE_PROC defined, as used in VMWare ESX Server 3.0.1 and 3.0.2, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to PAM authentication, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-0003.

Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in uploadrequest.asp in Layton HelpBox 3.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to upload and execute arbitrary ASP files, related to not properly checking file extensions.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Layton HelpBox 3.7.1 allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the sys_request_id parameter to editrequestenduser.asp; and allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (2) the oldpassword parameter to writepwdenduser.asp, and the sys_request_id parameter to (3) changerequeststatus.asp, (4) editrequestuser.asp, (5) requestcommentsuser.asp, and (6) useractions.asp, different vectors than CVE-2004-2551.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Layton HelpBox 3.7.1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) Forename, (2) Surname, (3) Telephone, and (4) Fax fields to writeenduserenduser.asp; the (5) Filter field to statsrequestypereport.asp; and the (6) sys_request_id parameter to requestattach.asp; and allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (7) Asset, (8) Location, and (9) Problem fields to editrequestenduser.asp; the (10) Asset, (11) Asset Location, (12) Problem Desc, and (13) Solution Desc fields to editrequestuser.asp; and the (14) End User and (15) Description fields to usersearchrequests.asp. NOTE: vectors 5 and 6 do not require authentication to exploit.

Layton HelpBox 3.7.1 generates different responses depending on whether or not a username is valid in a failed login attempt, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames.

ssh-signer in SSH Tectia Client and Server 5.x before 5.2.4, and 5.3.x before 5.3.6, on Unix and Linux allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

TIBCO SmartSockets RTserver 6.8.0 and earlier, RTworks before 4.0.4, and Enterprise Message Service (EMS) 4.0.0 through 4.4.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted requests containing values that are used as pointers.

TIBCO SmartSockets RTserver 6.8.0 and earlier, RTworks before 4.0.4, and Enterprise Message Service (EMS) 4.0.0 through 4.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted requests that control loop operations related to memory.

TIBCO SmartSockets RTserver 6.8.0 and earlier, RTworks before 4.0.4, and Enterprise Message Service (EMS) 4.0.0 through 4.4.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted requests containing values that are used as pointer offsets.

Heap-based buffer overflow in TIBCO SmartSockets RTserver 6.8.0 and earlier, RTworks before 4.0.4, and Enterprise Message Service (EMS) 4.0.0 through 4.4.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted requests containing size and copy-length values that trigger the overflow.

STEngine.exe 3.5.0.20 in Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management (ESM) 3.5, and other ESM versions before 3.5.0.82, dynamically creates scripts in a world-writable directory when generating diagnostic reports, which allows local users to gain privileges, as demonstrated by creating a cmd.exe binary in the diagnostic report directory.

Array index error in the XFree86-Misc extension in X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PassMessage request containing a large array index.

The NantSys device 5.0.0.115 in Motorola netOctopus 5.1.2 build 1011 has weak permissions for the \\.\NantSys device interface (nantsys.sys), which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash), as demonstrated by modifying the SYSENTER_EIP_MSR CPU Model Specific Register (MSR) value.

NICM.SYS driver 3.0.0.4, as used in Novell NetWare Client 4.91 SP4, allows local users to execute arbitrary code by opening the \\.\nicm device and providing crafted kernel addresses via IOCTLs with the METHOD_NEITHER buffering mode.

Buffer overflow in the pioout program in printers.rte in IBM AIX 5.2, 5.3, and 6.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line option.
