Debian DSA-547-1 : imagemagick - buffer overflows

Marcus Meissner from SUSE has discovered several buffer overflows in the ImageMagick graphics library. An attacker could create a malicious image or video file in AVI, BMP, or DIB format that could crash the reading process. It might be possible that carefully crafted images could also allow to...

Debian DSA-506-1 : neon - buffer overflow

Stefan Esser discovered a problem in neon, an HTTP and WebDAV client library. User input is copied into variables not large enough for all cases. This can lead to an overflow of a static heap variable. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in...

Debian DSA-018-1 : tinyproxy - remote nobody exploit

PkC have found a heap overflow in tinyproxy that could be remotely exploited. An attacker could gain a shell user nobody remotely. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Debian Security Advisory DSA-018. The...

Debian DSA-516-1 : postgresql - buffer overflow

A buffer overflow has been discovered in the ODBC driver of PostgreSQL, an object-relational SQL database, descended from POSTGRES. It is possible to exploit this problem and crash the surrounding application. Hence, a PHP script using php4-odbc can be utilised to crash the surrounding Apache...

Debian DSA-325-1 : eldav - insecure temporary file

eldav, a WebDAV client for Emacs, creates temporary files without taking appropriate security precautions. This vulnerability could be exploited by a local user to create or overwrite files with the privileges of the user running emacs and eldav. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, In...

Debian DSA-190-1 : wmaker - buffer overflow

Al Viro found a problem in the image handling code use in Window Maker, a popular NEXTSTEP like window manager. When creating an image it would allocate a buffer by multiplying the image width and height, but did not check for an overflow. This makes it possible to overflow the buffer. This could...

Debian DSA-095-1 : gpm - local root vulnerability

The package 'gpm' contains the gpm-root program, which can be used to create mouse-activated menus on the console. Among other problems, the gpm-root program contains a format string vulnerability, which allows an attacker to gain root privileges. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security,...

Debian DSA-314-1 : atftp - buffer overflow

Rick Patel discovered that atftpd is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when a long filename is sent to the server. An attacker could exploit this bug remotely to execute arbitrary code on the server. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in thi...

Debian DSA-186-1 : log2mail - buffer overflow

Enrico Zini discovered a buffer overflow in log2mail, a daemon for watching logfiles and sending lines with matching patterns via mail. The log2mail daemon is started upon system boot and runs as root. A specially crafted remote log message could overflow a static buffer, potentially leaving...

Debian DSA-511-1 : ethereal - buffer overflows

Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in ethereal, a network traffic analyzer. These vulnerabilities are described in the ethereal advisory 'enpa-sa-00013'. Of these, only some parts of CAN-2004-0176 affect the version of ethereal in Debian woody. CAN-2004-0367 and CAN-2004-0365...

Debian DSA-349-1 : nfs-utils - buffer overflow

The logging code in nfs-utils contains an off-by-one buffer overrun when adding a newline to the string being logged. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition by sending certain RPC requests. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network...

Debian DSA-162-1 : ethereal - buffer overflow

Ethereal developers discovered a buffer overflow in the ISIS protocol dissector. It may be possible to make Ethereal crash or hang by injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire, or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. It may be possible to make Ethereal run...

Debian DSA-200-1 : samba - remote exploit

Steve Langasek found an exploitable bug in the password handling code in samba: when converting from DOS code-page to little endian UCS2 unicode a buffer length was not checked and a buffer could be overflowed. There is no known exploit for this, but an upgrade is strongly recommended...

Debian DSA-541-1 : icecast-server - missing escape

Markus Worle discovered a cross site scripting problem in status-display list.cgi of the icecast internal webserver, an MPEG layer III streaming server. The UserAgent variable is not properly htmlescaped so that an attacker could cause the client to execute arbitrary Java script commands...

Debian DSA-281-1 : moxftp - buffer overflow

Knud Erik Hojgaard discovered a vulnerability in moxftp and xftp respectively, an Athena X interface to FTP. Insufficient bounds checking could lead to execution of arbitrary code, provided by a malicious FTP server. Erik Tews fixed this. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Debian DSA-435-1 : mpg123 - heap overflow

A vulnerability was discovered in mpg123, a command-line mp3 player, whereby a response from a remote HTTP server could overflow a buffer allocated on the heap, potentially permitting execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking mpg123. In order for this vulnerability to b...

Debian DSA-267-1 : lpr - 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...
