Debian DSA-206-1 : tcpdump - denial of service

The BGP decoding routines for tcpdump used incorrect bounds checking when copying data. This could be abused by introducing malicious traffic on a sniffed network for a denial of service attack against tcpdump, or possibly even remote code execution. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security...

Debian DSA-272-1 : dietlibc - integer overflow

eEye Digital Security discovered an integer overflow in the xdrmemgetbytes function of glibc, that is also present in dietlibc, a small libc useful especially for small and embedded systems. This function is part of the XDR encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. Depending upon the...

Debian DSA-274-1 : mutt - buffer overflow

Byrial Jensen discovered a couple of off-by-one buffer overflow in the IMAP code of Mutt, a text-oriented mail reader supporting IMAP, MIME, GPG, PGP and threading. This problem could potentially allow a remote malicious IMAP server to cause a denial of service crash and possibly execute arbitrar...

Debian DSA-248-1 : hypermail - buffer overflows

Ulf Harnhammar discovered two problems in hypermail, a program to create HTML archives of mailing lists. An attacker could craft a long filename for an attachment that would overflow two buffers when a certain option for interactive use was given, opening the possibility to inject arbitrary code...

Debian DSA-250-1 : w3mmee-ssl - missing HTML quoting

Hironori Sakamoto, one of the w3m developers, found two security vulnerabilities in w3m and associated programs. The w3m browser does not properly escape HTML tags in frame contents and img alt attributes. A malicious HTML frame or img alt attribute may deceive a user to send their local cookies...

Debian DSA-469-1 : pam-pgsql - missing input sanitising

Primoz Bratanic discovered a bug in libpam-pgsql, a PAM module to authenticate using a PostgreSQL database. The library does not escape all user-supplied data that are sent to the database. An attacker could exploit this bug to insert SQL statements. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security...

Debian DSA-534-1 : mailreader - directory traversal

A directory traversal vulnerability was discovered in mailreader whereby remote attackers could view arbitrary files with the privileges of the nph-mr.cgi process by default, www-data via relative paths and a null byte in the configLanguage parameter. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Securit...

Debian DSA-439-1 : linux-kernel-2.4.16-arm - several vulnerabilities

Several local root exploits have been discovered recently in the Linux kernel. This security advisory updates the ARM kernel for Debian GNU/Linux. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems that are fixed with this update : - CAN-2003-0961 : An integer...

Debian DSA-308-1 : gzip - insecure temporary files

Paul Szabo discovered that znew, a script included in the gzip package, creates its temporary files without taking precautions to avoid a symlink attack CAN-2003-0367. The gzexe script has a similar vulnerability which was patched in an earlier release but inadvertently reverted. %NASLMINLEVEL...

Debian DSA-397-1 : postgresql - buffer overflow

Tom Lane discovered a buffer overflow in the toascii function in PostgreSQL. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the host running the database. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from...

Debian DSA-087-1 : wu-ftpd - remote root exploit

CORE ST reports that an exploit has been found for a bug in the wu-ftpd glob code this is the code that handles filename wildcard expansion. Any logged in user including anonymous FTP users can exploit the bug to gain root privileges on the server. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security,...

Debian DSA-249-1 : w3mmee - missing HTML quoting

Hironori Sakamoto, one of the w3m developers, found two security vulnerabilities in w3m and associated programs. The w3m browser does not properly escape HTML tags in frame contents and img alt attributes. A malicious HTML frame or img alt attribute may deceive a user to send their local cookies...

Debian DSA-369-1 : zblast - buffer overflow

Steve Kemp discovered a buffer overflow in zblast-svgalib, when saving the high score file. This vulnerability could be exploited by a local user to gain gid 'games', if they can achieve a high score. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in...

Debian DSA-022-1 : exmh - local insecure tempfile creation

Former versions of the exmh program used /tmp for storing temporary files. No checks were made to ensure that nobody placed a symlink with the same name in /tmp in the meantime and thus was vulnerable to a symlink attack. This could lead to a malicious local user being able to overwrite any file...

Debian DSA-490-1 : zope - arbitrary code execution

A vulnerability has been discovered in the index support of the ZCatalog plug-in in Zope, an open source web application server. A flaw in the security settings of ZCatalog allows anonymous users to call arbitrary methods of catalog indexes. The vulnerability also allows untrusted code to do the...
