USN-133-1: Apache utility vulnerability

A buffer overflow was discovered in the "htpasswd" utility. This could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking htpasswd. This is only a security vulnerability if you have a website that offers a public interface to htpasswd without checking the input...

USN-130-1: TIFF library vulnerability

Tavis Ormandy discovered a buffer overflow in the TIFF library. A malicious image with an invalid "bits per sample" number could be constructed which, when decoded, would have resulted in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using the library. Since this library is used ...

CVE-2003-1141

CVE-2003-1141 describes a stack buffer overflow in the NIPrint LPD service (NIPrint 4.x) that can be triggered remotely by sending a long string to TCP port 515, enabling arbitrary code execution on the affected host. Public material in connected docs confirms the vulnerability type as a remote o...

CVE-2003-1141

Buffer overflow in NIPrint 4.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string to TCP port 515...

USN-123-1: Xine library vulnerabilities

Two buffer overflows have been discovered in the MMS and Real RTSP stream handlers of the Xine library. By tricking a user to connect to a malicious MMS or RTSP video/audio stream source with an application that uses this library, an attacker could crash the client and possibly even execute...

USN-117-1: cvs vulnerability

Alen Zukich discovered a buffer overflow in the processing of version and author information in the CVS client. By tricking an user to connect to a malicious CVS server, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the connecting user...

CVE-2005-0080

The 55optionstraceback.dpatch patch for mailman 2.1.5 in Ubuntu 4.10 displays a different error message depending on whether the e-mail address is subscribed to a private list, which allows remote attackers to determine the list membership for a given e-mail address...

The 55optionstraceback.dpatch patch for mailman 2.1.5 in Ubuntu 4.10 displays a different error message depending on whether the e-mail address is subscribed to a private list, which allows remote attackers to determine the list membership for a given e-mail address...

USN-112-1: PHP4 vulnerabilities

An integer overflow was discovered in the exifprocessIFDTAG function in PHP4's EXIF module. EXIF tags with a specially crafted "Image File Directory" IFD tag caused a buffer overflow which could have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the PHP4 server. CAN-2005-1042 Th...

USN-110-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Alexander Nyberg discovered an integer overflow in the sysfswritefile function. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the kernel or possibly even execute arbitrary code with root privileges by writing to an user-writable file in /sys under certain low-memory conditions. However, there are...

USN-109-1: MySQL vulnerability

USN-32-1 fixed a database privilege escalation vulnerability; original advisory text: "If a user was granted privileges to a database with a name containing an underscore "", the user also gained the ability to grant privileges to other databases with similar names. CAN-2004-0957" Recently a corn...

USN-108-1: GDK vulnerability

Matthias Clasen discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the BMP image module of gdk. Processing a specially crafted BMP image with an application using gdk-pixbuf caused an allocated memory block to be free'ed twice, leading to a crash of the application. However, it is believed that this...

USN-107-1: racoon vulnerability

Sebastian Krahmer discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in the racoon daemon. By sending specially crafted ISAKMP packets, a remote attacker could trigger a buffer overflow which caused racoon to crash. This update does not introduce any source code changes affecting the ipsec-tools packag...

USN-106-1: Gaim vulnerabilities

Jean-Yves Lefort discovered a buffer overflow in the gaimmarkupstriphtml function. This caused Gaim to crash when receiving certain malformed HTML messages. CAN-2005-0965 Jean-Yves Lefort also noticed that many functions that handle IRC commands do not escape received HTML metacharacters; this...

USN-105-1: PHP4 vulnerabilities

Two Denial of Service vulnerabilities have been discovered in the getimagesize function. getimagesize uses format specific internal functions phphandleiff and phphandlejpeg which get stuck in infinite loops when certain invalid size parameters are read from the image. In web applications that all...

USN-104-1: unshar vulnerability

Joey Hess discovered that "unshar" created temporary files in an insecure manner. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the program...

USN-102-1: shar vulnerabilities

Shaun Colley discovered a buffer overflow in "shar" that was triggered by output files specified with -o with names longer than 49 characters. This could be exploited to run arbitrary attacker specified code on systems that automatically process uploaded files with shar. Ulf Harnhammar discovered...

USN-101-1: telnet vulnerabilities

A buffer overflow was discovered in the telnet client's handling of the LINEMODE suboptions.
