Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kdegraphics (MDKSA-2006:012)

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the DCTStream::readProgressiveSOF and DCTStream::readBaselineSOF functions in the DCT stream parsing code Stream.cc in xpdf 3.01 and earlier, allow user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service heap corruption and possibly execute arbitrary code via...

MDKSA-2005:172 : openssh

Sshd in OpenSSH before 4.2, when GSSAPIDelegateCredentials is enabled, allows GSSAPI credentials to be delegated to clients who log in using non-GSSAPI methods, which could cause those credentials to be exposed to untrusted users or hosts. GSSAPI is only enabled in versions of openssh shipped in...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : squid vulnerability (USN-122-1)

Michael Bhola discovered that errors in the httpaccess configuration, in particular missing or invalid ACLs, did not cause a fatal error. This could lead to wider access permissions than intended by the administrator. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description bloc...
