Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : libsafe (MDKSA-2002:026)

Wojciech Purczynski discovered that format string protection in libsafe can be easily bypassed by using flag characters that are implemented in glibc but are not implemented in libsafe. It was also discovered that printf function wrappers incorrectly parse argument indexing in format strings,...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : squid (MDKSA-2001:066)

The Squid proxy server has a serious security flaw in versions 2.3.STABLE2 through 2.3.STABLE4. This problem surfaces when Squid is used in httpdaccel mode. If you configure httpaccelwithproxy off then any request to Squid is allowed. Malicious users may use your proxy to portscan remote systems,...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : mailman (MDKSA-2004:051)

Mailman versions = 2.1 have an issue where 3rd parties can retrieve member passwords from the server. The updated packages have a patch backported from 2.1.5 to correct the issue. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : krb5 (MDKSA-2001:093)

A buffer overflow exists in the telnet portion of Kerberos that could provide root access to local users. MDKSA-2001:068 provided a similar fix to the normal telnet packages, but the Kerberized equivalent was not updated previously. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : ksymoops (MDKSA-2004:060)

Geoffrey Lee discovered a problem with the ksymoops-gznm script distributed with Mandrakelinux. The script fails to do proper checking when copying a file to the /tmp directory. Because of this, a local attacker can setup a symlink to point to a file that they do not have permission to remove. Th...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : sharutils (MDKSA-2002:052)

The uudecode utility creates output files without checking to see if it is about to write to a symlink or pipe. This could be exploited by a local attacker to overwrite files or lead to privilege escalation if users decode data into share directories, such as /tmp. This update fixes this...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : sox (MDKSA-2004:076)

Ulf Harnhammar discovered two buffer overflows in SoX. They occur when the sox or play commands handle malicious .WAV files. Versions 12.17.4, 12.17.3 and 12.17.2 are vulnerable to these overflows. 12.17.1, 12.17 and 12.16 are some versions that are not. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : gv (MDKSA-2002:069)

A buffer overflow was discovered in gv versions 3.5.8 and earlier by Zen Parse. The problem is triggered by scanning a file and can be exploited by an attacker sending a malformed PostScript or PDF file. This would result in arbitrary code being executed with the privilege of the user viewing the...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : rsync (MDKSA-2003:111)

A vulnerability was discovered in all versions of rsync prior to 2.5.7 that was recently used in conjunction with the Linux kernel dobrk vulnerability to compromise a public rsync server. This heap overflow vulnerability, by itself, cannot yield root access, however it does allow arbitrary code...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : groff (MDKSA-2002:012)

zen-parse discovered an exploitable buffer overflow in groff's preprocessor. If groff is invoked using the LPRng printing system, an attacker can gain rights as the 'lp' user. Likewise, this may be remotely exploitable if lpd is running and remotely accessible and the attacker knows the name of t...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : stunnel (MDKSA-2002:004)

All versions of stunnel from 3.15 to 3.21c are vulnerable to format string bugs in the functions which implement smtp, pop, and nntp client negotiations. Using stunnel with the '-n service' option and the '-c' client mode option, a malicious server could use the format sting vulnerability to run...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : mc (MDKSA-2004:007)

A buffer overflow was discovered in mc's virtual filesystem code. This vulnerability could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code during symlink conversion. The updated packages have been patched to correct the problem. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptiv...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : lftp (MDKSA-2003:116)

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered by Ulf Harnhammar in the lftp FTP client when connecting to a web server using HTTP or HTTPS and using the 'ls' or 'rels' command on specially prepared directory. This vulnerability exists in lftp versions 2.3.0 through 2.6.9 and is corrected upstrea...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : bind (MDKSA-2002:001)

There are some insecure permissions on configuration files and executables with the bind 9.x packages shipped with Mandrake Linux 8.0 and 8.1. This update provides stricter permissions by making the /etc/rndc.conf and /etc/rndc.key files read/write by the named user and by making /sbin/rndc-confg...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : libpng (MDKSA-2004:040)

Steve Grubb discovered that libpng would access memory that is out of bounds when creating an error message. The impact of this bug is not clear, but it could lead to a core dump in a program using libpng, or could result in a DoS Denial of Service condition in a daemon that uses libpng to proces...

SUSE-SA:2003:025: samba

The remote host is missing a security patch for samba. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow condition in the calltrans2open function within file trans2.c due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via an overly long string...

SUSE-SA:2003:0015: tcpdump

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2003:0015 tcpdump. The network traffic analyzer tool tcpdump is vulnerable to a denial-of- service condition while parsing ISAKMP or BGP packets. This bug can be exploited remotely by an attacker to stop the use of tcpdump for analyzin...
