rpm: fails to drop SUID/SGID bits on package upgrade

lib/fsm.c in RPM 4.8.0 and unspecified 4.7.x and 4.6.x versions, and RPM before 4.4.3, does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during replacement of the file in an RPM package upgrade, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable 1...

DEBIAN-CVE-2004-2768

dpkg 1.9.21 does not properly reset the metadata of a file during replacement of the file in a package upgrade, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable 1 setuid file, 2 setgid file, or 3 device, a related issue to CVE-2010-2059...

kernel: exit_notify: kill the wrong capable(CAP_KILL) check

The exitnotify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc1 does not restrict exit signals when the CAPKILL capability is held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exitsignal field and then uses an exec system...

FreeBSD : cyrus-sasl -- dynamic library loading and set-user-ID applications (92268205-1947-11d9-bc4a-000c41e2cdad)

The Cyrus SASL library, libsasl, contains functions which may load dynamic libraries. These libraries may be loaded from the path specified by the environmental variable SASLPATH, which in some situations may be fully controlled by a local attacker. Thus, if a set-user-ID application such as chsh...

FreeBSD : ifmail -- unsafe set-user-ID application (746ca1ac-21ec-11d9-9289-000c41e2cdad)

Niels Heinen reports that ifmail allows one to specify a configuration file. Since ifmail runs set-user-ID news', this may allow a local attacker to write to arbitrary files or execute arbitrary commands as the news' user. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text...

FreeBSD : bmon -- unsafe set-user-ID application (938f357c-16dd-11d9-bc4a-000c41e2cdad)

Jon Nistor reported that the FreeBSD port of bmon was installed set-user-ID root, and executes commands using relative paths. This could allow local user to easily obtain root privileges. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin...

kernel: open() call allows setgid bit when user is not in new file's group

fs/open.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by creating an executable...

kernel: remove SUID when splicing into an inode

The genericfilesplicewrite function in fs/splice.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified...

mysql improper suid argument evaluation

MySQL before 5.0.25 and 5.1 before 5.1.12 evaluates arguments of suid routines in the security context of the routine's definer instead of the routine's caller, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges through a routine that has been made available using GRANT EXECUTE...

util-linux (u)mount doesn't drop privileges properly when calling helpers

mount and umount in util-linux and loop-aes-utils call the setuid and setgid functions in the wrong order and do not check the return values, which might allow attackers to gain privileges via helpers such as mount.nfs...

DEBIAN-CVE-2006-3378

passwd command in shadow in Ubuntu 5.04 through 6.06 LTS, when called with the -f, -g, or -s flag, does not check the return code of a setuid call, which might allow local users to gain root privileges if setuid fails in cases such as PAM failures or resource limits...

DEBIAN-CVE-2006-2607

docommand.c in Vixie cron vixie-cron 4.1 does not check the return code of a setuid call, which might allow local users to gain root privileges if setuid fails in cases such as PAM failures or resource limits, as originally demonstrated by a program that exceeds the process limits as defined in...

FreeBSD : perl -- vulnerabilities in PERLIO_DEBUG handling (a5eb760a-753c-11d9-a36f-000a95bc6fae)

Kevin Finisterre discovered bugs in perl's I/O debug support : - The environmental variable PERLIODEBUG is honored even by the set-user-ID perl command usually named sperl or suidperl. As a result, a local attacker may be able to gain elevated privileges. CVE-2005-0155 - A buffer overflow may occ...
