Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In February 2009 (Denial of service)

The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 does not validate the superblock configuration, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) by attempting to mount a crafted ext4 filesystem.

The ext4_isize function in fs/ext4/ext4.h in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 uses the i_size_high structure member during operations on arbitrary types of files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and error-message flood) by attempting to mount a crafted ext4 filesystem.

The make_indexed_dir function in fs/ext4/namei.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 does not validate a certain rec_len field, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by attempting to mount a crafted ext4 filesystem.

The ext4_group_add function in fs/ext4/resize.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28 before 2.6.28.7 does not properly initialize the group descriptor during a resize (aka resize2fs) operation, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by arranging for crafted values to be present in available memory.

Apple Safari 4 Beta build 528.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a feeds: URI beginning with a (1) % (percent), (2) { (open curly bracket), (3) } (close curly bracket), (4) ^ (caret), (5) ` (backquote), or (6) | (pipe) character, followed by an & (ampersand) character.

Integer overflow in the 4xm demuxer (demuxers/demux_4xm.c) in xine-lib 1.1.16.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a 4X movie file with a large current_track value, a similar issue to CVE-2009-0385.

cgi-bin/welcome/VPN_only in the web interface in Netgear SSL312 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via a crafted query string, as demonstrated using directory traversal sequences.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the GetStatsFromLine function in TPTEST 3.1.7 and earlier, and possibly 5.02, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a STATS line with a long pwd field. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The web browser in Symbian OS on the Nokia N95 cell phone allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via JavaScript code that calls the setAttributeNode method.

msnmsgr.exe in Windows Live Messenger (WLM) 2009 build 14.0.8064.206, and other 14.0.8064.x builds, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a modified header in a packet, as possibly demonstrated by a UTF-8.0 value of the charset field in the Content-Type header line. NOTE: this has been reported as a format string vulnerability by some sources, but the provenance of that information is unknown.

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module for Catalyst 6500 Switches and 7600 Routers before A2(1.2) and Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine Appliance before A1(8.0) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a crafted SNMPv3 packet.

Unspecified vulnerability in the SNMPv2c implementation in Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module for Catalyst 6500 Switches and 7600 Routers before A2(1.3) and Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine Appliance before A3(2.1) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a crafted SNMPv1 packet.

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module for Catalyst 6500 Switches and 7600 Routers before A2(1.3) and Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine Appliance before A3(2.1) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via a crafted SSH packet.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java agent in Cisco Application Networking Manager (ANM) before 2.0 Update A allows remote attackers to gain privileges, and cause a denial of service (service outage) by stopping processes, or obtain sensitive information by reading configuration files.

Cisco Application Networking Manager (ANM) before 2.0 uses default usernames and passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to access the application, or cause a denial of service via configuration changes, related to "default user credentials during installation."

Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3, when a JDBC data source is used, does not properly handle (1) a long value in an ADD or (2) long string attributes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (JDBC backend outage) via crafted LDAP requests.

Stack consumption vulnerability in the do_page_fault function in arch/x86/mm/fault.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors that trigger page faults on a machine that has a registered Kprobes probe.

Format string vulnerability in Wireshark 0.99.8 through 1.0.5 on non-Windows platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via format string specifiers in the HOME environment variable.

Wireshark 0.99.6 through 1.0.5 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Tektronix K12 text capture file, as demonstrated by a file with exactly one frame.

Buffer overflow in wiretap/netscreen.c in Wireshark 0.99.7 through 1.0.5 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed NetScreen snoop file.

Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 p6 and earlier, and Enterprise Edition 5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via crafted LDAP requests.

Buffer overflow in the PyCrypto ARC2 module 2.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large ARC2 key length.

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 9.x before 9.0.159.0 and 10.x before 10.0.22.87 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Shockwave Flash (aka .swf) file.

The CICS listener in IBM TXSeries for Multiplatforms 6.2 GA waits for a forcepurge acknowledgement from the CICS Application Server (CICSAS) after an eci response timeout, which might allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (forcepurge handling delay), or have unspecified other impact, via vectors involving slow or nonexistent acknowledgement.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the String_parse::get_nonspace_quoted function in lib-src/allegro/strparse.cpp in Audacity 1.2.6 and other versions before 1.3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a .gro file containing a long string.
