Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In April 2014

The tempname_ensure function in lib/routines.h in a2ps 4.14 and earlier, as used by the spy_user function and possibly other functions, allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in a certain Red Hat build script for the ibmssh executable in ibutils packages before ibutils-1.5.7-2.el6 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and ibutils-1.2-11.2.el5 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan Horse program in refix/lib/, related to an incorrect RPATH setting in the ELF header.

Format string vulnerability in War FTP Daemon (warftpd) 1.82 RC 12 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via format string specifiers in a LIST command.

The monitoring probe display in spacewalk-java before 2.1.148-1 and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 4.0.0 through 4.2.0 and 5.1.0 through 5.3.0, and Proxy 5.3.0, allows remote authenticated users with permissions to administer monitoring probes to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to backticks.

The undo save quit routine in the kernel in Blender 2.5, 2.63a, and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the quit.blend temporary file. NOTE: this issue might be a regression of CVE-2008-1103.

Race condition in the ssl3_read_bytes function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject data across sessions or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and parsing error) via an SSL connection in a multithreaded environment.

The init script in kbd, possibly 1.14.1 and earlier, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /dev/shm/defkeymap.map.

SUSE Lifecycle Management Server before 1.1 uses world readable postgres credentials, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py in Update Manager before 1:0.87.31.1, 1:0.134.x before 1:0.134.11.1, 1:0.142.x before 1:0.142.23.1, 1:0.150.x before 1:0.150.5.1, and 1:0.152.x before 1:0.152.25.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 through 11.10 does not verify the GPG signature before extracting an upgrade tarball, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to (1) create or overwrite arbitrary files via a directory traversal attack using a crafted tar file, or (2) bypass authentication via a crafted meta-release file.

DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewKDE.py in Update Manager before 1:0.87.31.1, 1:0.134.x before 1:0.134.11.1, 1:0.142.x before 1:0.142.23.1, 1:0.150.x before 1:0.150.5.1, and 1:0.152.x before 1:0.152.25.5 does not properly create temporary files, which allows local users to obtain the XAUTHORITY file content for a user via a symlink attack on the temporary file.

kiwi before 4.98.08, as used in SUSE Studio Onsite 1.2 before 1.2.1 and SUSE Studio Extension for System z 1.2 before 1.2.1, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the path of an overlay file, related to chown.

Buffer overflow in hw/scsi-disk.c in the SCSI subsystem in QEMU before 0.15.2, as used by Xen, might allow local guest users with permission to access the CD-ROM to cause a denial of service (guest crash) via a crafted SAI READ CAPACITY SCSI command. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when root has manually modified certain permissions or ACLs.

Directory traversal vulnerability in device-linux.c in the router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, and remote attackers to overwrite certain files, via a .. (dot dot) in an interface name. NOTE: this can be leveraged with a symlink to overwrite arbitrary files.

The router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2 does not properly handle errors in the privsep_init function, which causes the radvd daemon to run as root and has an unspecified impact.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in pam_motd (aka the MOTD module) in libpam-modules before 1.1.3-2ubuntu2.1 on Ubuntu 11.10, before 1.1.2-2ubuntu8.4 on Ubuntu 11.04, before 1.1.1-4ubuntu2.4 on Ubuntu 10.10, before 1.1.1-2ubuntu5.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and before 0.99.7.1-5ubuntu6.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, when using certain configurations such as "session optional pam_motd.so", allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the PATH environment variable to reference a malicious command, as demonstrated via uname.

The bzexe command in bzip2 1.0.5 and earlier generates compressed executables that do not properly handle temporary files during extraction, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by precreating a temporary directory.

kiwi before 4.85.1, as used in SUSE Studio Onsite 1.2 before 1.2.1 and SUSE Studio Extension for System z 1.2 before 1.2.1, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands as demonstrated by "double quotes in kiwi_oemtitle of .profile."

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the overlay files tab in SUSE Studio Onsite 1.2 before 1.2.1 and SUSE Studio Extension for System z 1.2 before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted application, related to cloning.

kiwi before 4.98.05, as used in SUSE Studio Onsite 1.2 before 1.2.1 and SUSE Studio Extension for System z 1.2 before 1.2.1, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an image name.

The Ubuntu AccountsService package before 0.6.14-1git1ubuntu1.1 does not properly drop privileges when changing language settings, which allows local users to modify arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.

Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (JON) before 2.4.2 does not properly enforce "modify resource" permissions for remote authenticated users when deleting a plug-in configuration update from the group connection properties history, which prevents such activities from being recorded in the audit trail.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the process function in SSViewer.php in SilverStripe before 2.3.13 and 2.4.x before 2.4.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the QUERY_STRING to template placeholders, as demonstrated by a request to (1) admin/reports/, (2) admin/comments/, (3) admin/, (4) admin/show/, (5) admin/assets/, and (6) admin/security/.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in signature.php in the Advanced Forum Signatures (aka afsignatures) plugin 2.0.4 for MyBB allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) afs_type, (2) afs_background, (3) afs_showonline, (4) afs_bar_left, (5) afs_bar_center, (6) afs_full_line1, (7) afs_full_line2, (8) afs_full_line3, (9) afs_full_line4, (10) afs_full_line5, or (11) afs_full_line6 parameter. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

SQL injection vulnerability in signature.php in Advanced Forum Signatures plugin (aka afsignatures) 2.0.4 for MyBB allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the afs_bar_right parameter.

CRLF injection vulnerability in the CGI implementation in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 4.x and 5.x on Windows NT and Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary uppercase environment variables via a \n (newline) character in an HTTP header.
