Debian DSA-077-1 : squid - remote DoS

Vladimir Ivaschenko found a problem in squid a popular proxy cache. He discovered that there was a flaw in the code to handle FTP PUT commands: when a mkdir-only request was done squid would detect an internal error and exit. Since squid is configured to restart itself on problems this is not a b...

Debian DSA-548-2 : imlib - unsanitised input

Marcus Meissner discovered a heap overflow error in imlib, an imaging library for X and X11, that could be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. The updated packages we have provided in DSA 548-1 did not seem to be sufficient, which should be fixed by this updat...

Debian DSA-344-2 : unzip - directory traversal

A directory traversal vulnerability in UnZip 5.50 allows attackers to bypass a check for relative pathnames '../' by placing certain invalid characters between the two '.' characters. The fix which was implemented in DSA-344-1 may not have protected against all methods of exploiting this...

Debian DSA-110-1 : cups - buffer overflow

The authors of CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System, have found a potential buffer overflow bug in the code of the CUPS daemon where it reads the names of attributes. This affects all versions of CUPS. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks i...

Debian DSA-345-1 : xbl - buffer overflow

Another buffer overflow was discovered in xbl, distinct from the one addressed in DSA-327 CAN-2003-0451, involving the-display command line option. This vulnerability could be exploited by a local attacker to gain gid 'games'. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive...

Debian DSA-351-1 : php4 - XSS

The transparent session ID feature in the php4 package does not properly escape user-supplied input before inserting it into the generated HTML page. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute embedded scripts within the context of the generated page. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Networ...

Debian DSA-088-1 : fml - improper character escaping

The fml a mailing list package as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffers from a cross-site scripting problem. When generating index pages for list archives the ' characters were not properly escaped for subjects. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and...

Debian DSA-128-1 : sudo - buffer overflow

fc found a buffer overflow in the variable expansion code used by sudo for its prompt. Since sudo is necessarily installed suid root a local user can use this to gain root access. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were...

Debian DSA-417-1 : linux-kernel-2.4.18-powerpc+alpha - missing boundary check

Paul Starzetz discovered a flaw in bounds checking in mremap in the Linux kernel present in version 2.4.x and 2.6.x which may allow a local attacker to gain root privileges. Version 2.2 is not affected by this bug. Andrew Morton discovered a missing boundary check for the brk system call which ca...

Debian DSA-084-1 : gftp - Information Retrieval

Stephane Gaudreault told us that version 2.0.6a of gftp displays the password in plain text on the screen within the log window when it is logging into an ftp server. A malicious colleague who is watching the screen could gain access to the users shell on the remote machine. This problem has been...

Debian DSA-398-1 : conquest - buffer overflow

Steve Kemp discovered a buffer overflow in the environment variable handling of conquest, a curses based, real-time, multi-player space warfare game, which could lead a local attacker to gain unauthorised access to the group conquest. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Debian DSA-275-1 : lpr-ppd - buffer overflow

A buffer overflow has been discovered in lpr, a BSD lpr/lpd line printer spooling system. This problem can be exploited by a local user to gain root privileges, even if the printer system is set up properly. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package...

Debian DSA-474-1 : squid - ACL bypass

A vulnerability was discovered in squid, an Internet object cache, whereby access control lists based on URLs could be bypassed CAN-2004-0189. Two other bugs were also fixed with patches squid-2.4.STABLE7-urlescape.patch a buffer overrun which does not appear to be exploitable and...

Debian DSA-076-1 : most - buffer overflow

Pavel Machek has found a buffer overflow in the most' pager program. The problem is part of most's tab expansion where the program would write beyond the bounds two array variables when viewing a malicious file. This could lead into other data structures being overwritten which in turn could enab...

Debian DSA-021-1 : apache - insecure tempfile bug, broken mod_rewrite

WireX have found some occurrences of insecure opening of temporary files in htdigest and htpasswd. Both programs are not installed setuid or setgid and thus the impact should be minimal. The Apache group has released another security bugfix which fixes a vulnerability in modrewrite which may resu...

Debian DSA-207-1 : tetex-bin - arbitrary command execution

The SuSE security team discovered a vulnerability in kpathsea library libkpathsea which is used by xdvi and dvips. Both programs call the system function insecurely, which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands via cleverly crafted DVI files. If dvips is used in a print filter, th...

Debian DSA-376-2 : exim - buffer overflow

A buffer overflow exists in exim, which is the standard mail transport agent in Debian. By supplying a specially crafted HELO or EHLO command, an attacker could cause a constant string to be written past the end of a buffer allocated on the heap. This vulnerability is not believed at this time to...

Debian DSA-501-1 : exim - buffer overflow

Georgi Guninski discovered two stack-based buffer overflows. They can not be exploited with the default configuration from the Debian system, though. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems that are fixed with this update : - CAN-2004-0399 When...

Debian DSA-017-1 : jazip - buffer overflow

With older versions of jazip a user could gain root access for members of the floppy group to the local machine. The interface doesn't run as root anymore and this very exploit was prevented. The program now also truncates DISPLAY to 256 characters if it is bigger, which closes the buffer overflo...
