CVE Database

Linux 2.1.132 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by reading a large buffer from a random device (e.g. /dev/urandom), which cannot be interrupted until the read has completed.

Buffer overflow in BNC IRC proxy allows remote attackers to gain privileges.

nlog CGI scripts do not properly filter shell metacharacters from the IP address argument, which could allow remote attackers to execute certain commands via (1) nlog-smb.pl or (2) rpc-nlog.pl.

BackWeb client stores the username and password in cleartext for proxy authentication in the Communication registry key, which could allow other local users to gain privileges by reading the password.

Corel Word Perfect 8 for Linux creates a temporary working directory with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to (1) modify Word Perfect behavior by modifying files in the working directory, or (2) modify files of other users via a symlink attack.

The passwd command in Solaris can be subjected to a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in Solaris x86 mkcookie allows local users to obtain root access.

RealSystem G2 server stores the administrator password in cleartext in a world-readable configuration file, which allows local users to gain privileges.

Excite for Web Servers (EWS) 1.1 allows local users to gain privileges by obtaining the encrypted password from the world-readable Architext.conf authentication file and replaying the encrypted password in an HTTP request to AT-generated.cgi or AT-admin.cgi.

Excite for Web Servers (EWS) 1.1 installs the Architext.conf authentication file with world-writeable permissions, which allows local users to gain access to Excite accounts by modifying the file.

The installation of the fsp package 2.71-10 in Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 adds the anonymous FTP user without notifying the administrator, which could automatically enable anonymous FTP on some servers such as wu-ftp.

Samba 1.9.18 inadvertently includes a prototype application, wsmbconf, which is installed with incorrect permissions including the setgid bit, which allows local users to read and write files and possibly gain privileges via bugs in the program.

Buffer overflow in kppp in KDE allows local users to gain root access via a long PATH environmental variable.

KDE kppp allows local users to create a directory in an arbitrary location via the HOME environmental variable.

KDE allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by setting the KDEDIR environmental variable to modify the search path that KDE uses to locate its executables.

The installation of 1ArcServe Backup and Inoculan AV client modules for Exchange create a log file, exchverify.log, which contains usernames and passwords in plaintext.

CDE screen lock program (screenlock) on Solaris 2.6 does not properly lock an unprivileged user's console session when the host is an NIS+ client, which allows others with physical access to login with any string.

ICQ 98 beta on Windows NT leaks the internal IP address of a client in the TCP data segment of an ICQ packet instead of the public address (e.g. through NAT), which provides remote attackers with potentially sensitive information about the client or the internal network configuration.

LakeWeb Mail List CGI script allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the recipient email address.

LakeWeb Filemail CGI script allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the recipient email address.

HAMcards Postcard CGI script 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the recipient email address.

Buffer overflow in ssh 1.2.26 client with Kerberos V enabled could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a long DNS hostname that is not properly handled during TGT ticket passing.

NukeNabber allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by connecting to the NukeNabber port (1080) without sending any data, which causes the CPU usage to rise to 100% from the report.exe program that is executed upon the connection.

IP fragmentation denial of service in FreeBSD allows a remote attacker to cause a crash.
