Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : php (MDKSA-2005:152)

Integer overflow in pcrecompile.c in Perl Compatible Regular Expressions PCRE before 6.2, as used in multiple products, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via quantifier values in regular expressions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. The php packages, as shipped, were built...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : libtiff (MDKSA-2005:142)

Wouter Hanegraaff discovered that the TIFF library did not sufficiently validate the 'YCbCr subsampling' value in TIFF image headers. Decoding a malicious image with a zero value resulted in an arithmetic exception, which can cause a program that uses the TIFF library to crash. The updated packag...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : smb4k (MDKSA-2005:157)

A severe security issue has been discovered in Smb4K. By linking a simple text file FILE to /tmp/smb4k.tmp or /tmp/sudoers, an attacker could get access to the full contents of the /etc/super.tab or /etc/sudoers file, respectively, because Smb4K didn't check for the existance of these files befor...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : fetchmail (MDKSA-2005:126)

A buffer overflow was discovered in fetchmail's POP3 client which could allow a malicious server to send a carefully crafted message UID, causing fetchmail to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running fetchmail. The updated packages have been patched to address this problem...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kdegraphics (MDKSA-2005:143)

Wouter Hanegraaff discovered that the TIFF library did not sufficiently validate the 'YCbCr subsampling' value in TIFF image headers. Decoding a malicious image with a zero value resulted in an arithmetic exception, which can cause a program that uses the TIFF library to crash. Kdegraphics 3.3 us...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : wxPythonGTK (MDKSA-2005:144)

Wouter Hanegraaff discovered that the TIFF library did not sufficiently validate the 'YCbCr subsampling' value in TIFF image headers. Decoding a malicious image with a zero value resulted in an arithmetic exception, which can cause a program that uses the TIFF library to crash. wxPythonGTK uses a...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : zlib (MDKSA-2005:124)

A previous zlib update MDKSA-2005:112; CVE-2005-2096 fixed an overflow flaw in the zlib program. While that update did indeed fix the reported overflow issue, Markus Oberhumber discovered additional ways that a specially crafted compressed stream could trigger an overflow. An attacker could creat...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : slocate (MDKSA-2005:147)

A bug was discovered in the way that slocate processes very long paths. A local user could create a carefully crafted directory structure that would prevent updatedb from completing its filesystem scan, resulting in an incomplete database. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : XFree86 (MDKSA-2005:164)

A vulnerability was discovered in the pixmap allocation handling of the X server that can lead to local privilege escalation. By allocating a huge pixmap, a local user could trigger an integer overflow that resulted in a memory allocation that was too small for the requested pixmap, leading to a...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : ethereal (MDKSA-2005:131)

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in versions of Ethereal prior to version 0.10.12, including : The SMB dissector could overflow a buffer or exhaust memory CVE-2005-2365. iDefense discovered that several dissectors are vulnerable to format string overflows CVE-2005-2367. A number of oth...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : python (MDKSA-2005:154)

Integer overflow in pcrecompile.c in Perl Compatible Regular Expressions PCRE before 6.2, as used in multiple products, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via quantifier values in regular expressions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow. The python packages use a private copy of...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : php-pear (MDKSA-2005:146)

A problem was discovered in the PEAR XML-RPC Server package included in the php-pear package. If a PHP script which implements the XML-RPC Server is used, it would be possible for a remote attacker to construct an XML-RPC request which would cause PHP to execute arbitrary commands as the 'apache'...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : bluez-utils (MDKSA-2005:150)

A vulnerability in bluez-utils was discovered by Henryk Plotz. Due to missing input sanitizing, it was possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands supplied as a device name from the remote bluetooth device. The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem. %NASLMINLEVEL...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : evolution (MDKSA-2005:141)

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Evolution 1.5 through 2.3.6.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash and possibly execute arbitrary code via 1 full vCard data, 2 contact data from remote LDAP servers, or 3 task list data from remote servers. CVE-2005-2549 A format...
