libxml2 various overflows

Multiple buffer overflows in libXML 2.6.12 and 2.6.13 libxml2, and possibly other versions, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via 1 a long FTP URL that is not properly handled by the xmlNanoFTPScanURL function, 2 a long proxy URL containing FTP data that is not properly handled...

USN-21-1: libgd vulnerabilities

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libgd's PNG handling functions. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they could leverage this into executing arbitrary code in the context of the user opening image. Most importantly, this library is commonly used in PH...

USN-10-1: XML library vulnerabilities

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libxml2's FTP connection and DNS resolution functions. Supplying very long FTP URLs or IP addresses might result in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using libxml2. Since libxml2 is used in packages like php4-imagick, t...

libxml -- remote buffer overflows

infamous41md reports that libxml contains multiple buffer overflows in the URL parsing and DNS name resolving functions. These vulnerabilities could lead to execution of arbitrary code...

SUSE-SA:2004:038: libtiff

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2004:038 libtiff. libtiff is used by image viewers and web browser to view 'TIFF' images. These usually open and display those images without querying the user, making a normal system by default vulnerable to exploits of image library...

CVE-2004-0785

Multiple buffer overflows in Gaim before 0.82 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via 1 Rich Text Format RTF messages, 2 a long hostname for the local system as obtained from DNS, or 3 a long URL that is not properly handled by the URL decoder...

GLSA-200410-01 : sharutils: Buffer overflows in shar.c and unshar.c

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-01 sharutils: Buffer overflows in shar.c and unshar.c sharutils contains two buffer overflows. Ulf Harnhammar discovered a buffer overflow in shar.c, where the length of data returned by the wc command is not checked. Flori...

Debian DSA-030-2 : xfree86

"Chris Evans, Joseph S. Myers, Michal Zalewski, Alan Cox, and others have noted a number of problems in several components of the X Window System sample implementation from which XFree86 is derived. While there are no known reports of real-world malicious exploits of any of these problems, it is...

Debian DSA-425-1 : tcpdump - multiple vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in tcpdump, a tool for inspecting network traffic. If a vulnerable version of tcpdump attempted to examine a maliciously constructed packet, a number of buffer overflows could be exploited to crash tcpdump, or potentially execute arbitrary code with the...

Debian DSA-468-1 : emil - several vulnerabilities

Ulf Harnhammar discovered a number of vulnerabilities in emil, a filter for converting Internet mail messages. The vulnerabilities fall into two categories : - CAN-2004-0152 Buffer overflows in 1 the encodemime function, 2 the encodeuuencode function, 3 the decodeuuencode function. These bugs cou...

Debian DSA-194-1 : masqmail - buffer overflows

A set of buffer overflows have been discovered in masqmail, a mail transport agent for hosts without permanent internet connection. In addition to this privileges were dropped only after reading a user-supplied configuration file. Together this could be exploited to gain unauthorized root access ...

Debian DSA-364-3 : man-db - buffer overflows, arbitrary command execution

man-db provides the standard man1 command on Debian systems. During configuration of this package, the administrator is asked whether man1 should run setuid to a dedicated user 'man' in order to provide a shared cache of preformatted manual pages. The default is for man1 NOT to be setuid, and in...
