Suse : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 4 and 4.99

Bash treats any character with a value of 255 as a command separator.

Buffer overflow in gnuplot in Linux version 3.5 allows local users to obtain root access.

XFree86 startx command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.

The SuSE aaa_base package installs some system accounts with home directories set to /tmp, which allows local users to gain privileges to those accounts by creating standard user startup scripts such as profiles.

kfm as included with KDE 1.x can allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a symlink attack in the kfm cache directory in /tmp.

Buffer overflow in man program in various distributions of Linux allows local user to execute arbitrary code as group man via a long -S option.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) allows local users to cause a denial of service via an IGMP membership report to a target's Ethernet address instead of the Multicast group address, which causes the target to stop sending reports to the router and effectively disconnect the group from the network.

SuSEconfig.javarunt in the javarunt package on SuSE Linux 7.3Pro allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .java_wrapper temporary file.

SuSEconfig.susewm in the susewm package on SuSE Linux 8.2Pro allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the susewm.$$ temporary file.

Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to perform cross-domain scripting and possibly execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to drag and drop javascript: links to a frame or page in another domain.

The EPSF pipe support in enscript 1.6.3 allows remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

Buffer overflow in liby2util in Yet another Setup Tool (YaST) for SuSE Linux 9.3 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long Loc entry.

StoreBackup before 1.19 does not properly set the uid and guid for symbolic links (1) that are backed up by storeBackup.pl, or (2) recovered by storeBackupRecover.pl, which could cause files to be restored with incorrect ownership.

chkstat in SuSE Linux 9.0 through 10.0 allows local users to modify permissions of files by creating a hardlink to a file from a world-writable directory, which can cause the link count to drop to 1 when the file is deleted or replaced, which is then modified by chkstat to use weaker permissions.

Buffer overflow in the realpath function in nfs-server rpc.mountd, as used in SUSE Linux 9.1 through 10.0, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving mount requests and symlinks.

ld in SUSE Linux 9.1 through 10.0, and SLES 9, in certain circumstances when linking binaries, can leave an empty RPATH or RUNPATH, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as other users via by running an ld-linked application from the current directory, which could contain an attacker-controlled library file.

Unspecified vulnerability in Linux User Management (novell-lum) on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and Open Enterprise Server 9, under unspecified conditions, allows local users to log in to the console without a password.

xfs_fsr in xfsdump creates a .fsr temporary directory with insecure permissions, which allows local users to read or overwrite arbitrary files on xfs filesystems.

The installation script for orarun on SUSE Linux before 20070810 places the oracle user into the disk group, which allows the local oracle user to read or write raw disk partitions.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the wrapper scripts for the (1) rug, (2) zen-updater, (3) zen-installer, and (4) zen-remover programs on SUSE Linux 10.1 and Enterprise 10 allows local users to gain privileges via modified (a) LD_LIBRARY_PATH and (b) MONO_GAC_PREFIX environment variables.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the (1) mod_imap module in the Apache HTTP Server 1.3.0 through 1.3.39 and 2.0.35 through 2.0.61 and the (2) mod_imagemap module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.0 through 2.2.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option.

The inode double locking code in fs/ocfs2/file.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.30 before 2.6.30-rc3, 2.6.27 before 2.6.27.24, 2.6.29 before 2.6.29.4, and possibly other versions down to 2.6.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevention of file creation and removal) via a series of splice system calls that trigger a deadlock between the generic_file_splice_write, splice_from_pipe, and ocfs2_file_splice_write functions.

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 does not always use XPCCrossOriginWrapper when required during object construction, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted document, related to a "cross origin wrapper bypass."

The png_decompress_chunk function in pngrutil.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.53, 1.2.x before 1.2.43, and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 does not properly handle compressed ancillary-chunk data that has a disproportionately large uncompressed representation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and application hang) via a crafted PNG file, as demonstrated by use of the deflate compression method on data composed of many occurrences of the same character, related to a "decompression bomb" attack.
