Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : krb5 vulnerabilities (USN-334-1)

Michael Calmer and Marcus Meissner discovered that several krb5 tools did not check the return values from setuid system calls. On systems that have configured user process limits, it may be possible for an attacker to cause setuid to fail via resource starvation. In that situation, the tools wil...

Ubuntu 6.10 : linux-source-2.6.17 vulnerabilities (USN-509-1)

A flaw in the sysfsreaddir function allowed a local user to cause a denial of service by dereferencing a NULL pointer. CVE-2007-3104 A buffer overflow was discovered in the random number generator. In environments with granular assignment of root privileges, a local attacker could gain additional...

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS : linux-source-2.6.15 vulnerabilities (USN-508-1)

A buffer overflow was discovered in the Moxa serial driver. Local attackers could execute arbitrary code and gain root privileges. CVE-2005-0504 A flaw was discovered in the IPv6 stack's handling of type 0 route headers. By sending a specially crafted IPv6 packet, a remote attacker could cause a...

Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : shadow vulnerability (USN-308-1)

Ilja van Sprundel discovered that passwd, when called with the -f, -g, or -s option, did not check the result of the setuid call. On systems that configure PAM limits for the maximum number of user processes, a local attacker could exploit this to execute chfn, gpasswd, or chsh with root...

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS : mysql-dfsg-5.0 vulnerabilities (USN-338-1)

Dmitri Lenev discovered that arguments of setuid SQL functions were evaluated in the security context of the functions' definer instead of its caller. An authenticated user with the privilege to call such a function could exploit this to execute arbitrary statements with the privileges of the...
