Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In February 2014

cpio, as used in build 2007.05.10, 2010.07.28, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink within an RPM package archive.

The Perl_reg_numbered_buff_fetch function in Perl 5.10.0, 5.12.0, 5.14.0, and other versions, when running with debugging enabled, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via crafted input that is not properly handled when using certain regular expressions, as demonstrated by causing SpamAssassin and OCSInventory to crash.

Puppet 2.6.0 through 2.6.3 does not properly restrict access to node resources, which allows remote authenticated Puppet nodes to read or modify the resources of other nodes via unspecified vectors.

Open redirect vulnerability in Spacewalk 1.6, as used in Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite, allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the url_bounce parameter.

The nfs_addmntent function in support/nfs/nfs_mntent.c in the mount.nsf tool in nfs-utils before 1.2.4 attempts to append to the /etc/mtab file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere, which allows local users to corrupt this file via a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a related issue to CVE-2011-1089.

virt-v2v before 0.8.4 does not preserve the VNC console password when converting a guest, which allows local users to bypass the intended VNC authentication by connecting without a password.

utils/mount.ecryptfs_private.c in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly check mountpoint permissions, which allows local users to effectively replace any directory with a new filesystem, and consequently gain privileges, via a mount system call.

utils/mount.ecryptfs_private.c in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly check mountpoint permissions, which allows local users to remove directories via a umount system call.

utils/mount.ecryptfs_private.c in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly maintain the mtab file during error conditions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (table corruption) or bypass intended unmounting restrictions via a umount system call.

The encrypted private-directory setup process in utils/ecryptfs-setup-private in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly ensure that the passphrase file is created, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions at a certain time in the new-user creation steps.

utils/ecryptfs-recover-private in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not establish a subdirectory with safe permissions, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions via standard filesystem operations during the recovery process.

The lock-counter implementation in utils/mount.ecryptfs_private.c in ecryptfs-utils before 90 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.

The host_reliable_addrinfo function in support/export/hostname.c in nfs-utils before 1.2.4 does not properly use DNS to verify access to NFS exports, which allows remote attackers to mount filesystems by establishing crafted DNS A and PTR records.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Ark 4.7.x and earlier allows remote attackers to delete and force the display of arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences in a zip file.

The do_devinfo_ioctl function in drivers/staging/comedi/comedi_fops.c in the Linux kernel before 3.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a copy of a short string.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Spacewalk 1.6, as used in Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the QueryString to the SystemGroupList.do page.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Spacewalk 1.6, as used in Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the "Filter by Synopsis" field and other unspecified filter forms.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Spacewalk 1.6, as used in Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to Search forms.

Open redirect vulnerability in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform before 5.2.0 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the initialURI parameter.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Lookup Login/Password form in Spacewalk 1.6, as used in Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the URI.

The web browser plug-in in IcedTea-Web 1.0.x before 1.0.6 and 1.1.x before 1.1.4 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy (SOP) and execute arbitrary script or establish network connections to unintended hosts via an applet whose origin has the same second-level domain, but a different sub-domain than the targeted domain.

The SSH configuration in the Red Hat mkdumprd script for kexec-tools, as distributed in the kexec-tools 1.x before 1.102pre-154 and 2.x before 2.0.0-209 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, disables the StrictHostKeyChecking option, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof kdump servers, and obtain sensitive core information, by using an arbitrary SSH key.

The Red Hat mkdumprd script for kexec-tools, as distributed in the kexec-tools 1.x before 1.102pre-154 and 2.x before 2.0.0-209 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, uses world-readable permissions for vmcore files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by inspecting the file content, as demonstrated by a search for a root SSH key.

The Red Hat mkdumprd script for kexec-tools, as distributed in the kexec-tools 1.x before 1.102pre-154 and 2.x before 2.0.0-209 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, includes all of root's SSH private keys within a vmcore file, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by inspecting the file content.

Buffer overflow in the process_ra function in the router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (crash) via a negative value in a label_len value.
