Morgan alias SM6TKY discovered and fixed several security related problems in LinuxNode, an Amateur Packet Radio Node program. The buffer overflow he discovered can be used to gain unauthorised root access and can be remotely triggered. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Debian DSA-215-1 : cyrus-imapd - buffer overflow

Timo Sirainen discovered a buffer overflow in the Cyrus IMAP server, which could be exploited by a remote attacker prior to logging in. A malicious user could craft a request to run commands on the server under the UID and GID of the cyrus server. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security,...

Debian DSA-522-1 : super - format string vulnerability

Max Vozeler discovered a format string vulnerability in super, a program to allow specified users to execute commands with root privileges. This vulnerability could potentially be exploited by a local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network...

Debian DSA-253-1 : openssl - information leak

A vulnerability has been discovered in OpenSSL, a Secure Socket Layer SSL implementation. In an upcoming paper, Brice Canvel EPFL, Alain Hiltgen UBS, Serge Vaudenay EPFL, and Martin Vuagnoux EPFL, Ilion describe and demonstrate a timing-based attack on CBC cipher suites used in SSL and TLS. OpenS...

Debian DSA-284-1 : kdegraphics - insecure execution

The KDE team discovered a vulnerability in the way KDE uses Ghostscript software for processing of PostScript PS and PDF files. An attacker could provide a malicious PostScript or PDF file via mail or websites that could lead to executing arbitrary commands under the privileges of the user viewin...

Debian DSA-085-1 : nvi - Format string vulnerability

Takeshi Uno found a very stupid format string vulnerability in all versions of nvi in both, the plain and the multilingualized version. When a filename is saved, it ought to get displayed on the screen. The routine handling this didn't escape format strings. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network...

Debian DSA-328-1 : webfs - buffer overflow

webfs, a lightweight HTTP server for static content, contains a buffer overflow whereby a long Request-URI in an HTTP request could cause arbitrary code to be executed. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from...

Debian DSA-213-1 : libpng - buffer overflow

Glenn Randers-Pehrson discovered a problem in connection with 16-bit samples from libpng, an interface for reading and writing PNG Portable Network Graphics format files. The starting offsets for the loops are calculated incorrectly which causes a buffer overrun beyond the beginning of the row...

Debian DSA-037-1 : Athena Widget replacement libraries - insecure tempfile handling

It has been reported that the AsciiSrc and MultiSrc widget in the Athena widget library handle temporary files insecurely. Joey Hess has ported the bugfix from XFree86 to these Xaw replacements libraries. The fixes are available in nextaw 0.5.1-34potato1, xaw3d 1.3-6.9potato1, and xaw95...

Debian DSA-252-1 : slocate - buffer overflow

A problem has been discovered in slocate, a secure locate replacement. A buffer overflow in the setgid program slocate can be used to execute arbitrary code as group slocate. This can be used to alter the slocate database. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text...

Debian DSA-323-1 : noweb - insecure temporary files

Jakob Lell discovered a bug in the 'noroff' script included in noweb whereby a temporary file was created insecurely. During a review, several other instances of this problem were found and fixed. Any of these bugs could be exploited by a local user to overwrite arbitrary files owned by the user...

Debian DSA-437-1 : cgiemail - open mail relay

A vulnerability was discovered in cgiemail, a CGI program used to email the contents of an HTML form, whereby it could be used to send email to arbitrary addresses. This type of vulnerability is commonly exploited to send unsolicited commercial email spam. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network...

Debian DSA-383-2 : ssh-krb5 - possible remote vulnerability

Several bugs have been found in OpenSSH's buffer handling. It is not known if these bugs are exploitable, but as a precaution an upgrade is advised. DSA-383-2: This advisory is an addition to the earlier DSA-383-1 advisory: Solar Designer found four more bugs in OpenSSH that may be exploitable...

Debian DSA-071-1 : fetchmail - memory corruption

Salvatore Sanfilippo found two remotely exploitable problems infetchmail while doing a security audit. In both the IMAP code and the POP3 code, the input isn't verified even though it's used to store a number in an array. Since no bounds checking is done this can be used by an attacker to write...

Debian DSA-296-1 : kdebase - insecure execution
