Ubuntu 4.10 : libxml vulnerabilities (USN-89-1)

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libxml's FTP connection and DNS resolution functions. Supplying very long FTP URLs or IP addresses might result in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using libxml. This does not affect the core XML parsing code, which is...

Ubuntu 4.10 : libgd2 vulnerabilities (USN-11-1)

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libgd's PNG handling functions. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they could leverage this into executing arbitrary code in the context of the user opening image. Most importantly, this library is commonly used in PH...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : netpbm (MDKSA-2005:217)

Greg Roelofs discovered and fixed several buffer overflows in pnmtopng which is also included in netpbm, a collection of graphic conversion utilities, that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code via a specially crafted PNM file. Multiple buffer overflows in pnmtopng in netpbm 10.0 and earlie...

Ubuntu 4.10 : XML library vulnerabilities (USN-10-1)

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libxml2's FTP connection and DNS resolution functions. Supplying very long FTP URLs or IP addresses might result in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using libxml2. Since libxml2 is used in packages like php4-imagick, t...

Ubuntu 4.10 : imagemagick vulnerabilities (USN-35-1)

Markus Meissner discovered several potential buffer overflows in some image decoding functions of ImageMagick. Decoding a malicious BMP or DIB image or AVI video might result in execution of arbitrary code with the user's privileges. Since imagemagick can be used in custom printing systems, this...

Ubuntu 4.10 : libgd2 vulnerability (USN-25-1)

CAN-2004-0990 described several more buffer overflows which had been discovered in libgd2's PNG handling functions. However, it was determined that the update from USN-11-1 was not sufficient to prevent every possible attack, so another update is required. If an attacker tricked a user into loadi...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : xine-lib vulnerabilities (USN-123-1)

Two buffer overflows have been discovered in the MMS and Real RTSP stream handlers of the Xine library. By tricking a user to connect to a malicious MMS or RTSP video/audio stream source with an application that uses this library, an attacker could crash the client and possibly even execute...

GLSA-200601-02 : KPdf, KWord: Multiple overflows in included Xpdf code

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-02 KPdf, KWord: Multiple overflows in included Xpdf code KPdf and KWord both include Xpdf code to handle PDF files. This Xpdf code is vulnerable to several heap overflows GLSA 200512-08 as well as several buffer and integer...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kdegraphics (MDKSA-2006:012)

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the DCTStream::readProgressiveSOF and DCTStream::readBaselineSOF functions in the DCT stream parsing code Stream.cc in xpdf 3.01 and earlier, allow user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service heap corruption and possibly execute arbitrary code via...

Ubuntu 4.10 : php4 vulnerabilities (USN-99-1)

Stefano Di Paola discovered integer overflows in PHP's pack and unpack functions. A malicious PHP script could exploit these to break out of safe mode and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the PHP interpreter. CAN-2004-1018 Note: The second part of CAN-2004-1018 buffer overflow in the...

Ubuntu 4.10 : openslp vulnerabilities (USN-98-1)

The SuSE Security Team discovered several buffer overflows in the OpenSLP server and client library.
