glibc: Insecure tempfile handling in catchsegv script

Background glibc is a package that contains the GNU C library. Description The catchsegv script creates temporary files in world-writeable directories with predictable names. Impact A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere o...

CVE-2004-0968

CVE-2004-0968 concerns glibc (catchsegv) and related scripts: in glibc 2.3.2 and earlier, local users could cause a symlink attack on temporary files and overwrite them. The issue is documented across multiple advisories (CAN-2004-0968; CAN-2004-1382; CVE-2004-1453) and modules referencing glibc ...

Debian DSA-039-1 : glibc

The version of GNU libc that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffered from 2 security problems : - It was possible to use LDPRELOAD to load libraries that are listed in /etc/ld.so.cache, even for suid programs. This could be used to create and overwrite files which a user should not be...

Debian DSA-282-1 : glibc - integer overflow

eEye Digital Security discovered an integer overflow in the xdrmemgetbytes function which is also present in GNU libc. This function is part of the XDR external data representation encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability can cause...

Debian DSA-103-1 : glibc - buffer overflow

A buffer overflow has been found in the globbing code for glibc. This is the code which is used to glob patterns for filenames and is commonly used in applications like shells and FTP servers. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this...

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...

CVE-2002-1146

The CVE-2002-1146 issue affects BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and older glibc/libc/libresolv components (e.g., glibc ≤ 2.2.5) which use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual DNS response size, causing a read buffer overflow. This can enable a remote attacker to cause a de...

CVE-2002-0651

Buffer overflow in the DNS resolver code used in libc, glibc, and libbind, as derived from ISC BIND, allows remote malicious DNS servers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the stub resolvers...

CVE-2002-1146: Undefined Security Weakness

The BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and other libraries such as glibc 2.2.5 and earlier, libc, and libresolv, use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual size when processing a DNS response, which causes the stub resolvers to read past the actual boundary "read buffer...
