CVE-2013-1062

ubuntu-system-service 0.2.4 before 0.2.4.1. 0.2.3 before 0.2.3.1, and 0.2.2 before 0.2.2.1 does not properly use D-Bus for communication with a polkit authority, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a PolkitUnixProcess PolkitSubject race condition via a 1...

Fedora 13 : nss_db-2.2.3-0.3.pre1.fc13 (2010-6203)

Stephane Chazelas reported that the nssdb module attempts to read a DBCONFIG file in the current directory when it is used. If the contents of the file can't be parsed properly, the copy of libdb which nssdb uses will print an error message. If nssdb is invoked from a setuid process, it may then...

CVE-2009-2691

CVE-2009-2691 affects the Linux kernel (2.6.30.4 and earlier) via the mm_for_maps path in fs/proc/base.c, allowing a local attacker to read maps and smaps files under /proc during ELF loading for a setuid process, due to a race condition. Impact is information exposure (maps/smaps); exploitation ...

CVE-2002-0572

CVE-2002-0572 affects BSD-based systems (notably FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier); the issue arises when a local user closes standard input/output/error (FDs 0–2) and a subsequent setuid-invoked I/O operation reuses those descriptors, allowing read/write access to restricted files. Connected records corr...

CVE-2002-0572

FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier, and possibly other BSD-based operating systems, allows local users to write to or read from restricted files by closing the file descriptors 0 standard input, 1 standard output, or 2 standard error, which may then be reused by a called setuid process that intended to...

Apple Mac OSX 10.x / FreeBSD 4.x / OpenBSD 2.x / Solaris 2.5/2.6/7.0/8 - 'exec C Library' Standard I/O File Descriptor Closure

/ source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4568/info It has been reported that BSD-based kernels do not check to ensure that the C library standard I/O file descriptors 0-2 are valid open files before execing setuid images. Consequently, I/O that are opened by a setuid process may be assigned fi...
