HP : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2001

setrlimit in HP-UX 10.01, 10.10, 10.24, 10.20, 11.00, 11.04 and 11.11 does not properly enforce core file size on processes after setuid or setgid privileges are dropped, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service by exhausting available disk space.

Unknown vulnerability in Tomcat 3.2.1 running on HP Secure OS for Linux 1.0 allows attackers to access servlet resources. NOTE: due to the vagueness of the vendor advisory, it is not clear whether this issue is already covered by other CVE identifiers.

geteuid in Itanium Architecture (IA) running on HP-UX 11.20 does not properly identify a user's effective user id, which could allow local users to gain privileges.

Unknown vulnerability in the file system protection subsystem in HP Secure OS Software for Linux 1.0 allows additional user privileges on some files beyond what is specified in the file system protection rules, which allows local users to conduct unauthorized operations on restricted files.

Buffer overflow in the text editor functionality in HP-UX 10.01 through 11.04 on HP9000 Series 700 and Series 800 allows local users to cause a denial of service ("system availability") via text editors such as (1) e, (2) ex, (3) vi, (4) edit, (5) view, and (6) vedit.

Vulnerability in mkacct in HP-UX 11.04 running Virtualvault Operating System (VVOS) 4.0 and 4.5 allows attackers to elevate privileges.

kmmodreg in HP-UX 11.11, 11.04 and 11.00 allows local users to create arbitrary world-writeable files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/.kmmodreg_lock and (2) /tmp/kmpath.tmp temporary files.

Multiple TCP implementations could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth and CPU exhaustion) by setting the maximum segment size (MSS) to a very small number and requesting large amounts of data, which generates more packets with less TCP-level data that amplify network traffic and consume more server CPU to process.

RLPDaemon in HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain privileges by specifying the target file in the -L option.

Vulnerability in login in HP-UX 11.00, 11.11, and 10.20 allows restricted shell users to bypass certain security checks and gain privileges.

Dynamically Loadable Kernel Module (dlkm) static kernel symbol table in HP-UX 11.11 is not properly configured, which allows local users to gain privileges.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the %m macro in the smb.conf configuration file in Samba before 2.2.0a allows remote attackers to overwrite certain files via a .. in a NETBIOS name, which is used as the name for a .log file.

The libsecurity library in HP-UX 11.04 (VVOS) allows attackers to cause a denial of service.

rpcbind in HP-UX 11.00, 11.04 and 11.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (core dump) via a malformed RPC portmap requests, possibly related to a buffer overflow.

Vulnerability in Network Node Manager (NNM) 6.2 and earlier in HP OpenView allows a local user to execute arbitrary code, possibly via a buffer overflow in a long hostname or object ID.

HP LaserJet, and possibly other JetDirect devices, resets the admin password when the device is turned off, which could allow remote attackers to access the device without the password.

The JetAdmin web interface for HP JetDirect does not set a password for the telnet interface when the admin password is changed, which allows remote attackers to gain access to the printer.

HP CIFS/9000 Server (SAMBA) A.01.07 and earlier with the "unix password sync" option enabled calls the passwd program without specifying the username of the user making the request, which could cause the server to change the password of a different user.

Buffer overflow in swverify in HP-UX 11.0, and possibly other programs, allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

login in HP-UX 10.26 does not record failed login attempts in /var/adm/btmp, which could allow attackers to conduct brute force password guessing attacks without being detected or observed using the lastb program.

Vulnerability in HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) C.01.08.2 and earlier, as used by HP-UX Workload Manager (WLM), allows local users to gain root privileges via modified libraries or environment variables.

Vulnerability in HP-UX line printer daemon (rlpdaemon) in HP-UX 10.01 through 11.11 allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary files and gain root privileges via a certain print request.

Vulnerability in CIFS/9000 Server (SAMBA) A.01.06 and earlier in HP-UX 11.0 and 11.11, when configured as a print server, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by modifying certain resources.

Buffer overflow in login in various System V based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a large number of arguments through services such as telnet and rlogin.

Buffer overflows and other vulnerabilities in multiple Common Desktop Environment (CDE) modules in HP-UX 10.10 through 11.11 allow attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly gain additional privileges.
