Low: openldap

Issue Overview: It was found that the OpenLDAP server daemon ignored olcTLSCipherSuite settings. This resulted in the default cipher suite always being used, which could lead to weaker than expected ciphers being accepted during Transport Layer Security TLS negotiation with OpenLDAP clients...

Important: bind

Issue Overview: An uninitialized data structure use flaw was found in BIND when DNSSEC validation was enabled. A remote attacker able to send a large number of queries to a DNSSEC validating BIND resolver could use this flaw to cause it to exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure. CVE-2012-381...

Important: krb5

Issue Overview: An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos KDC handled initial authentication requests AS-REQ. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the KDC via a specially-crafted AS-REQ request. CVE-2012-1015 A NULL pointer dereference flaw...

Medium: dhcp

Issue Overview: A denial of service flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled zero-length client identifiers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted request to dhcpd, possibly causing it to enter an infinite loop and consume an excessive amount of CPU time...

Important: openjpeg

Issue Overview: An input validation flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenJPEG handled the tile number and size in an image tile header. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted image file that, when decoded using an application linked against OpenJPEG...

Medium: sudo

Issue Overview: A flaw was found in the way the network matching code in sudo handled multiple IP networks listed in user specification configuration directives. A user, who is authorized to run commands with sudo on specific hosts, could use this flaw to bypass intended restrictions and run thos...

Medium: nss

Issue Overview: A flaw was found in the way the ASN.1 Abstract Syntax Notation One decoder in NSS handled zero length items. This flaw could cause the decoder to incorrectly skip or replace certain items with a default value, or could cause an application to crash if, for example, it received a...

Important: libtiff

Issue Overview: libtiff did not properly convert between signed and unsigned integer values, leading to a buffer overflow. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute...

Medium: openssh

Issue Overview: A denial of service flaw was found in the OpenSSH GSSAPI authentication implementation. A remote, authenticated user could use this flaw to make the OpenSSH server daemon sshd use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service. GSSAPI authentication is enabled by...

Medium: net-snmp

Issue Overview: An array index error, leading to an out-of-bounds buffer read flaw, was found in the way the net-snmp agent looked up entries in the extension table. A remote attacker with read privileges to a Management Information Base MIB subtree handled by the "extend" directive in...

Medium: php

Issue Overview: Integer overflow in the pharparsetarfile function in tar.c in the phar extension in PHP before 5.3.14 and 5.4.x before 5.4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted tar file that triggers a heap-based...

Medium: postgresql9

Issue Overview: The cryptdes aka DES-based crypt function in FreeBSD before 9.0-RELEASE-p2, as used in PHP, PostgreSQL, and other products, does not process the complete cleartext password if this password contains a 0x80 character, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain...

php5-sqlite -- open_basedir bypass

MITRE CVE team reports: The SQLite functionality in PHP before 5.3.15 allows remote attackers to bypass the openbasedir protection mechanism via unspecified vectors...

Medium: kernel

Issue Overview: It was found that the datalen parameter of the sockallocsendpskb function in the Linux kernel's networking implementation was not validated before use. A local user with access to a TUN/TAP virtual interface could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their...

Medium: openssl

Issue Overview: An integer underflow flaw, leading to a buffer over-read, was found in the way OpenSSL handled DTLS Datagram Transport Layer Security application data record lengths when using a block cipher in CBC cipher-block chaining mode. A malicious DTLS client or server could use this flaw ...

Low: kernel

Issue Overview: The rioioctl function in drivers/net/ethernet/dlink/dl2k.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3.7 does not restrict access to the SIOCSMIIREG command, which allows local users to write data to an Ethernet adapter via an ioctl call. Affected Packages: kernel Issue Correction: Run yum...

Medium: python26

Issue Overview: SimpleXMLRPCServer.py in SimpleXMLRPCServer in Python before 2.6.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.3, 3.x before 3.1.5, and 3.2.x before 3.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service infinite loop and CPU consumption via an XML-RPC POST request that contains a smaller amount of dat...

Important: freetype

Issue Overview: Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled fonts in various formats. If a specially-crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash. Affected Packages: freetype Issue Correction: Run yum update freetype or...

Medium: nvidia

Issue Overview: The NVIDIA UNIX driver before 295.40 allows local users to access arbitrary memory locations by leveraging GPU device-node read/write privileges. Affected Packages: nvidia Issue Correction: Run yum update nvidia or yum update --advisory ALAS-2012-67 to update your system. New...

Medium: quagga

Issue Overview: Buffer overflow in the OSPFv2 implementation in ospfd in Quagga before 0.99.20.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service daemon crash via a Link State Update aka LS Update packet containing a network-LSA link-state advertisement for which the data-structure length is...
