Gentoo : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 2 and 4.99

MediaWiki before 1.19.6 and 1.20.x before 1.20.5 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated by a CDATA section containing valid UTF-7 encoded sequences in a SVG file, which is then incorrectly interpreted as UTF-8 by Chrome and Firefox.

thttpd.c in sthttpd before 2.26.4-r2 and thttpd 2.25b use world-readable permissions for /var/log/thttpd.log, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the file.

Interpretation conflict in PHP Toolkit before 1.0.1 on Gentoo Linux might allow local users to cause a denial of service (PHP outage) and read contents of PHP scripts by creating a file with a one-letter lowercase alphabetic name, which triggers interpretation of a certain unquoted [a-z] argument as a matching shell glob for this name, rather than interpretation as the literal [a-z] regular-expression string, and consequently blocks the launch of the PHP interpreter within the Apache HTTP Server.

etc-update in Portage before 2.1.3.11 on Gentoo Linux relies on the umask to set permissions for the merge file, often resulting in permissions weaker than those of the original files, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the merge file.

The Linux Security Auditing Tool (LSAT) allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, as demonstrated using /tmp/lsat1.lsat.

The gencert.sh script, when installing OpenLDAP before 2.1.30-r10, 2.2.x before 2.2.28-r7, and 2.3.x before 2.3.30-r2 as an ebuild in Gentoo Linux, does not create temporary directories in /tmp securely during emerge, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

The configuration of NetHack 3.4.3-r1 and earlier, Falcon's Eye 1.9.4a and earlier, and Slash'EM 0.0.760 and earlier on Gentoo Linux allows local users in the games group to modify saved games files to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflows and overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in view_all_set.php in Mantis 0.19.0a1 through 1.0.0a3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the dir parameter, as identified by bug#0005959, and a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3090.

The fn_show_postinst function in Gentoo webapp-config before 1.10-r14 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the postinst.txt temporary file.

The (1) check_update.sh and (2) rkhunter script in Rootkit Hunter before 1.2.3-r1 create temporary files with predictable file names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.

The DBI library (libdbi-perl) for Perl allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary PID file.

The arch_get_unmapped_area function in mmap.c in the PaX patches for Linux kernel 2.6, when Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unknown attack vectors.

The xdvizilla script in tetex-bin 2.0.2 creates temporary files with predictable file names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

The mtink status monitor before 1.0.5 for Epson printers allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the epson temporary file.

qpkg in Gentoolkit 0.2.0_pre10 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary directory.

dispatch-conf in Portage 2.0.51-r2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions leak file descriptors of open files, which allows local users to bypass access restrictions and read fcron.allow and fcron.deny via the EDITOR environment variable.

fcronsighup in Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions allows local users to delete arbitrary files or create arbitrary empty files via a target filename with a large number of leading slash (/) characters such that fcronsighup does not properly append the intended fcrontab.sig to the resulting string.

fcronsighup in Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions allows local users to gain sensitive information by calling fcronsighup with an arbitrary file, which reveals the contents of the file that can not be parsed in an error message.

main.c in cscope 15-4 and 15-5 creates temporary files with predictable filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

The der_chop script in the openssl package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The lvmcreate_initrd script in the lvm package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The groffer script in the Groff package 1.18 and later versions, as used in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

getmail 4.x before 4.2.0, and other versions before 3.2.5, when run as root, allows local users to write files in arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on subdirectories in the maildir.
