Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In December 2012

The Browser application in Android 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted market: URI in the SRC attribute of an IFRAME element.

freeSSHd.exe in freeSSHd through 1.2.6 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a crafted session, as demonstrated by an OpenSSH client with modified versions of ssh.c and sshconnect2.c.

The SSH USERAUTH CHANGE REQUEST feature in SSH Tectia Server 6.0.4 through 6.0.20, 6.1.0 through 6.1.12, 6.2.0 through 6.2.5, and 6.3.0 through 6.3.2 on UNIX and Linux, when old-style password authentication is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a crafted session involving entry of blank passwords, as demonstrated by a root login session from a modified OpenSSH client with an added input_userauth_passwd_changereq call in sshconnect2.c.

Eval injection vulnerability in the ldapagnt_eval function in ldapagnt.dll in unifid.exe in NetIQ Privileged User Manager 2.3.x before 2.3.1 HF2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Perl code via a crafted application/x-amf request.

Buffer overflow in RealNetworks RealPlayer before 16.0.0.282 and RealPlayer SP 1.0 through 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RealMedia file.

MySQL 5.5.19 and possibly other versions, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, when configured to assign the FILE privilege to users who should not have administrative privileges, allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging the FILE privilege to create files as the MySQL administrator. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating that this is only a vulnerability when the administrator does not follow recommendations in the product's installation documentation. NOTE: it could be argued that this should not be included in CVE because it is a configuration issue.

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers access to an object that (1) was not properly allocated or (2) is deleted, as demonstrated by a CDwnBindInfo object, and exploited in the wild in December 2012.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the management console in Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) 9.5.x allow remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) logFile parameter in a logs action to brightmail/export or (2) localBackupFileSelection parameter in an APPLIANCE restoreSource action to brightmail/admin/restore/download.do.

Stack-based buffer overflow in uam.exe in the User Access Manager (UAM) component in HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) before 5.1 E0101P01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to log data.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Novell NCP implementation in NetIQ eDirectory 8.8.7.x before 8.8.7.2 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via unknown vectors.
