Debian DSA-429-1 : gnupg - cryptographic weakness

Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates and uses ElGamal keys for signing. This is a significant security failure which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys used for signing. This update disables the use of this type of key. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Netwo...

Debian DSA-149-1 : glibc - integer overflow

An integer overflow bug has been discovered in the RPC library used by GNU libc, which is derived from the SunRPC library. This bug could be exploited to gain unauthorized root access to software linking to this code. The packages below also fix integer overflows in the malloc code. They also...

Debian DSA-338-1 : proftpd - SQL injection

Debian DSA-116-1 : cfs - buffer overflow

Zorgon found several buffer overflows in cfsd, a daemon that pushes encryption services into the Unixtm file system. We are not yet sure if these overflows can successfully be exploited to gain root access to the machine running the CFS daemon. However, since cfsd can easily be forced to die, a...

Debian DSA-259-1 : qpopper - mail user privilege escalation

Florian Heinz posted to the Bugtraq mailing list an exploit for qpopper based on a bug in the included vsnprintf implementation. The sample exploit requires a valid user account and password, and overflows a string in the popmsg function to give the user 'mail' group privileges and a shell on the...

Debian DSA-438-1 : linux-kernel-2.4.18-alpha+i386+powerpc - missing function return value check

Paul Starzetz and Wojciech Purczynski of isec.pl discovered a critical security vulnerability in the memory management code of Linux inside the mremap2 system call. Due to missing function return value check of internal functions a local attacker can gain root privileges. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C...

Debian DSA-257-1 : sendmail - remote exploit

Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force found a bug in the header parsing routines of sendmail: it could overflow a buffer overflow when encountering addresses with very long comments. Since sendmail also parses headers when forwarding emails this vulnerability can hit mail-servers which do not deliver the emai...

Debian DSA-387-1 : gopher - buffer overflows

gopherd, a gopher server from the University of Minnesota, contains a number of buffer overflows which could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the gopherd process the 'gopher' user by default. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. Th...

Debian DSA-176-1 : gv - buffer overflow

Zen-parse discovered a buffer overflow in gv, a PostScript and PDF viewer for X11. This problem is triggered by scanning the PostScript file and can be exploited by an attacker sending a malformed PostScript or PDF file. The attacker is able to cause arbitrary code to be run with the privileges o...

Debian DSA-049-1 : cfingerd

Megyer Laszlo report on Bugtraq that the cfingerd daemon as distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 was not careful in its logging code. By combining this with an off-by-one error in the code that copied the username from an ident response cfingerd could be exploited by a remote user. Since cfinger...

Debian DSA-545-1 : cupsys - denial of service

Alvaro Martinez Echevarria discovered a problem in CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System. An attacker can easily disable browsing in CUPS by sending a specially crafted UDP datagram to port 631 where cupsd is running. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and...

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...

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...
