enscript: "setfilename" special escape buffer overflow

Stack-based buffer overflow in the readspecialescape function in src/psgen.c in GNU Enscript 1.6.1 and 1.6.4 beta, when the -e aka special escapes processing option is enabled, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ASCII file, related to the setfilename...

ed: Heap-based buffer overflow (arb. code execution)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the stripescapes function in signal.c in GNU ed before 1.0 allows context-dependent or user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename. NOTE: since ed itself does not typically run with special privileges, this issue only crosses privilege...

tnftp -- mget does not check for directory escapes

When downloading a batch of files from an FTP server the mget command does not check for directory escapes. A specially crafted file on the FTP server could then potentially overwrite an existing file of the user...

apache

New apache packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, and -current to fix security issues. These include a possible denial-of-service attack as well as the ability to possible pipe shell escapes through Apache's errorlog which could create an exploit if the error log is read in a termina...

security flaw

Apache 1.3 before 1.3.25 and Apache 2.0 before version 2.0.46 does not filter terminal escape sequences from its access logs, which could make it easier for attackers to insert those sequences into terminal emulators containing vulnerabilities related to escape sequences, a different vulnerabilit...
