Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : webmin (MDKSA-2004:074)

Unknown vulnerability in Webmin 1.140 allows remote attackers to bypass access control rules and gain read access to configuration information for a module. CVE-2004-0582 The account lockout functionality in Webmin 1.140 does not parse certain character strings, which allows remote attackers to...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : fetchmail (MDKSA-2002:063)

Several buffer overflows and a boundary check error were discovered in all fetchmail versions prior to 6.1.0 by e-matters GmbH. These problems are vulnerable to crashes and/or arbitrary code execution by remote attackers if fetchmail is running in multidrop mode. The code execution would be done...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : apache (MDKSA-2004:065)

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found by George Guninski in Apache's modproxy module, which can be exploited by a remote user to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of an httpd child process user apache. This can only be exploited, however, if modproxy is actually in use. I...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDKSA-2003:037)

An integer overflow was discovered by eEye Digital Security in the xdrmemgetbytes function of glibc 2.3.1 and earlier. This function is part of the XDR encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability can cause buffer overflows and could...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : sudo (MDKSA-2002:028)

A problem was discovered by fc, with further research by Global InterSec, in the sudo program with the password prompt parameter -p. Sudo can be tricked into allocating less memory than it should for the prompt and in certain conditions it is possible to exploit this flaw to corrupt the heap in...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : jmcce (MDKSA-2002:008)

A problem exists in the jmcce program that is used for Chinese text on the console. jmcce is installed setuid root and places log files in /tmp; because jmcce does not perform suitable checking on the files it writes to and because it uses a predictable logfile name, an attacker could exploit thi...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kdenetwork (MDKSA-2002:080)

The SuSE security team discovered two vulnerabilities in the KDE lanbrowsing service during an audit. The LISa network daemon and 'reslisa', a restricted version of LISa are used to identify servers on the local network by using the URL type 'lan://' and 'rlan://' respectively. A buffer overflow...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : cvs (MDKSA-2004:048)

Stefan Esser discovered that malformed 'Entry' lines in combination with Is-modified and Unchanged can be used to overflow malloced memory in a way that can be remotely exploited. The updated packages contain a patch to correct the problem. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : passwd (MDKSA-2001:091)

The default pam files for the passwd program did not include support for md5 passwords, thus any password changes or post-install added users would not have md5 passwords. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted fr...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : uucp (MDKSA-2001:078)

Zen Parse discovered that an argument handling problem that exists in the uucp package can allow a local attacker to gain access to the uucp user or group. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Mandrake Linu...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDKSA-2003:110)

A vulnerability was discovered in the Linux kernel versions 2.4.22 and previous. A flaw in bounds checking in the dobrk function can allow a local attacker to gain root privileges. This vulnerability is known to be exploitable; an exploit is in the wild at this time. The Mandrake Linux 9.2 kernel...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : gkrellm (MDKSA-2003:087)

A buffer overflow was discovered in gkrellmd, the server component of the gkrellm monitor package, in versions of gkrellm 2.1.x prior to 2.1.14. This buffer overflow occurs while reading data from connected gkrellm clients and can lead to possible arbitrary code execution as the user running the...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : passwd (MDKSA-2004:045)

Steve Grubb found some problems in the passwd program. Passwords given to passwd via stdin are one character shorter than they are supposed to be.
