SUSE CVE-2007-5159

The ntfs-3g package before 1.913-2.fc7 in Fedora 7, and an ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu 7.10/Gutsy, assign incorrect permissions setuid root to mount.ntfs-3g, which allows local users with fuse group membership to read from and write to arbitrary block devices, possibly involving a file descriptor...

SUSE CVE-2008-1671

startkdeinit in KDE 3.5.5 through 3.5.9, when installed setuid root, allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via "user-influenceable input" probably command-line arguments that cause startkdeinit to send SIGUSR1 signals to other processes...

SUSE CVE-2008-4210

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...

SUSE CVE-2008-5302

Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path 1.08 and 2.07 lib/File/Path.pm in Perl 5.8.8 and 5.10.0 allows local users to create arbitrary setuid binaries via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448, CVE-2004-0452, and CVE-2008-2827. NOTE: this is a regression error...

SUSE CVE-2009-0361

Russ Allbery pam-krb5 before 3.13, as used by libpam-heimdal, su in Solaris 10, and other software, does not properly handle calls to pamsetcred when running setuid, which allows local users to overwrite and change the ownership of arbitrary files by setting the KRB5CCNAME environment variable, a...

SUSE CVE-2009-0360

Russ Allbery pam-krb5 before 3.13, when linked against MIT Kerberos, does not properly initialize the Kerberos libraries for setuid use, which allows local users to gain privileges by pointing an environment variable to a modified Kerberos configuration file, and then launching a PAM-based setuid...

SUSE CVE-2009-1142

An issue was discovered in open-vm-tools 2009.03.18-154848. Local users can gain privileges via a symlink attack on /tmp files if vmware-user-suid-wrapper is setuid root and the ChmodChownDirectory function is enabled...

SUSE CVE-2009-1337

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...
