phpSysInfo -- "register_globals" emulation layer overwrite vulnerability phpSysInfo 0

A Secunia Advisory reports:

Christopher Kunz has reported a vulnerability in phpSysInfo, which can be exploited by malicious people to manipulate certain information.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "register_globals" emulation layer where certain arrays used by the system can be overwritten. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session and include arbitrary files from local resources.

Macromedia flash player -- swf file handling arbitrary code linux-flashplugin6 6.0r79_3 linux-flashplugin7 7.0r61

A Secunia Advisory reports:

A vulnerability has been reported in Macromedia Flash Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to missing validation of the frame type identifier that is read from a SWF file. This value is used as an index in Flash.ocx to reference an array of function pointers. This can be exploited via a specially crafted SWF file to cause the index to reference memory that is under the attacker's control, which causes Flash Player to use attacker supplied values as function pointers.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

qpopper -- multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities qpopper 4.0.5

Jens Steube reports that qpopper is vulnerable to a privilege escalation vulnerability. qpopper does not properly drop root privileges so that user supplied configuration and trace files can be processed with root privileges. This could allow a local attacker to create or modify arbitrary files.

qpopper is also affected by improper umask settings which could allow users to create group or world-writeable files, possibly allowing an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files.

James Yonan reports:

A format string vulnerability in the foreign_option function in options.c could potentially allow a malicious or compromised server to execute arbitrary code on the client. Only non-Windows clients are affected. The vulnerability only exists if (a) the client's TLS negotiation with the server succeeds, (b) the server is malicious or has been compromised such that it is configured to push a maliciously crafted options string to the client, and (c) the client indicates its willingness to accept pushed options from the server by having "pull" or "client" in its configuration file (Credit: Vade79).

lynx -- remote buffer overflow lynx 2.8.5_1 2.8.6*2.8.6d14 lynx-ssl 2.8.5_1

Ulf Härnhammar reports:

When Lynx connects to an NNTP server to fetch information about the available articles in a newsgroup, it will call a function called HTrjis() with the information from certain article headers. The function adds missing ESC characters to certain data, to support Asian character sets. However, it does not check if it writes outside of the char array buf, and that causes a remote stack-based buffer overflow.

ruby -- vulnerability in the safe level settings ruby ruby_static 1.6.*1.6.8.2004.07.28_2 1.8.*1.8.2_5

Ruby home page reports:

The Object Oriented Scripting Language Ruby supports safely executing an untrusted code with two mechanisms: safe level and taint flag on objects.

A vulnerability has been found that allows bypassing these mechanisms.

By using the vulnerability, arbitrary code can be executed beyond the restrictions specified in each safe level. Therefore, Ruby has to be updated on all systems that use safe level to execute untrusted code.

xloadimage -- buffer overflows in NIFF image title handling xloadimage 4.1.15 xli 1.17.0_4

Ariel Berkman reports:

Unlike most of the supported image formats in xloadimage, the NIFF image format can store a title name of arbitrary length as part of the image file.

When xloadimage is processing a loaded image, it is creating a new Image object and then writing the processed image to it. At that point, it will also copy the title from the old image to the newly created image.

The 'zoom', 'reduce', and 'rotate' functions are using a fixed length buffer to construct the new title name when an image processing is done. Since the title name in a NIFF format is of varying length, and there are insufficient buffer size validations, the buffer can be overflowed.

snort -- Back Orifice preprocessor buffer overflow vulnerability snort 2.4.02.4.3

Jennifer Steffens reports:

The Back Orifice preprocessor contains a stack-based buffer overflow. This vulnerability could be leveraged by an attacker to execute code remotely on a Snort sensor where the Back Orifice preprocessor is enabled. However, there are a number of factors that make remote code execution difficult to achieve across different builds of Snort on different platforms, even on the same platform with different compiler versions, and it is more likely that an attacker could use the vulnerability as a denial of service attack.

The Back Orifice preprocessor can be disabled by commenting out the line "preprocessor bo" in snort.conf. This can be done in any text editor using the following procedure:

  1. Locate the line "preprocessor bo"
  2. Comment out this line by preceding it with a hash (#). The new line will look like "#preprocessor bo"
  3. Save the file
  4. Restart snort

Vulnerability:

Such applications are affected if they use the option SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING. This option is implied by use of SSL_OP_ALL, which is intended to work around various bugs in third-party software that might prevent interoperability. The SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option disables a verification step in the SSL 2.0 server supposed to prevent active protocol-version rollback attacks. With this verification step disabled, an attacker acting as a "man in the middle" can force a client and a server to negotiate the SSL 2.0 protocol even if these parties both support SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0. The SSL 2.0 protocol is known to have severe cryptographic weaknesses and is supported as a fallback only.

Applications using neither SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING nor SSL_OP_ALL are not affected. Also, applications that disable use of SSL 2.0 are not affected.

A Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory reports of multiple issues:

Heap overrun in XBM image processing

jackerror reports that an improperly terminated XBM image ending with space characters instead of the expected end tag can lead to a heap buffer overrun. This appears to be exploitable to install or run malicious code on the user's machine.

Thunderbird does not support the XBM format and is not affected by this flaw.

Crash on "zero-width non-joiner" sequence

Mats Palmgren discovered that a reported crash on Unicode sequences with "zero-width non-joiner" characters was due to stack corruption that may be exploitable.

XMLHttpRequest header spoofing

It was possible to add illegal and malformed headers to an XMLHttpRequest. This could have been used to exploit server or proxy flaws from the user's machine, or to fool a server or proxy into thinking a single request was a stream of separate requests. The severity of this vulnerability depends on the value of servers which might be vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling and similar attacks, or which share an IP address (virtual hosting) with the attacker's page.

For users connecting to the web through a proxy this flaw could be used to bypass the same-origin restriction on XMLHttpRequests by fooling the proxy into handling a single request as multiple pipe-lined requests directed at arbitrary hosts. This could be used, for example, to read files on intranet servers behind a firewall.

Object spoofing using XBL <implements>

moz_bug_r_a4 demonstrated a DOM object spoofing bug similar to MFSA 2005-55 using an XBL control that <implements> an internal interface. The severity depends on the version of Firefox: investigation so far indicates Firefox 1.0.x releases don't expose any vulnerable functionality to interfaces spoofed in this way, but that early Deer Park Alpha 1 versions did.

XBL was changed to no longer allow unprivileged controls from web content to implement XPCOM interfaces.

JavaScript integer overflow

Georgi Guninski reported an integer overflow in the JavaScript engine. We presume this could be exploited to run arbitrary code under favorable conditions.

Privilege escalation using about: scheme

heatsync and shutdown report two different ways to bypass the restriction on loading high privileged "chrome" pages from an unprivileged "about:" page. By itself this is harmless--once the "about" page's privilege is raised the original page no longer has access--but should this be combined with a same-origin violation this could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Chrome window spoofing

moz_bug_r_a4 demonstrates a way to get a blank "chrome" canvas by opening a window from a reference to a closed window. The resulting window is not privileged, but the normal browser UI is missing and can be used to construct a spoof page without any of the safety features of the browser chrome designed to alert users to phishing sites, such as the address bar and the status bar.

Tom Ferris reports:

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists within Firefox version 1.0.6 and all other prior versions which allows for an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code on an affected host.

The problem seems to be when a hostname which has all dashes causes the NormalizeIDN call in nsStandardURL::BuildNormalizedSpec to return true, but is sets encHost to an empty string. Meaning, Firefox appends 0 to approxLen and then appends the long string of dashes to the buffer instead.

Note: It is possible to disable IDN support as a workaround to protect against this buffer overflow. How to do this is described on the What Firefox and Mozilla users should know about the IDN buffer overflow security issue web page.

bind9 -- denial of service bind9 9.3.0 FreeBSD 5.35.3_16

Problem description

A DNSSEC-related validator function in BIND 9.3.0 contains an inappropriate internal consistency test. When this test is triggered, named(8) will exit.

Impact

On systems with DNSSEC enabled, a remote attacker may be able to inject a specially crafted packet that will cause the internal consistency test to trigger, and named(8) to terminate. As a result, the name server will no longer be available to service requests.

Workaround

DNSSEC is not enabled by default, and the "dnssec-enable" directive is not normally present. If DNSSEC has been enabled, disable it by changing the "dnssec-enable" directive to "dnssec-enable no;" in the named.conf(5) configuration file.

elm -- remote buffer overflow in Expires header elm 2.5.8

Ulf Harnhammar has discovered a remotely exploitable buffer overflow in Elm e-mail client when parsing the Expires header of an e-mail message:

The attacker only needs to send the victim an e-mail message. When the victim with that message in his or her inbox starts Elm or simply views the inbox in an already started copy of Elm, the buffer overflow will happen immediately. The overflow is stack-based, and it gives full control over EIP, EBP and EBX. It is caused by a bad sscanf(3) call, using a format string containing "%s" to copy from a long char array to a shorter array.

A tor advisory reports

Tor clients can completely loose anonymity, confidentiality, and data integrity if the first Tor server in their path is malicious. Specifically, if the Tor client chooses a malicious Tor server for her first hop in the circuit, that server can learn all the keys she negotiates for the rest of the circuit (or just spoof the whole circuit), and then read and/or modify all her traffic over that circuit.

A Hardened-PHP Project Security Advisory reports:

When the library parses XMLRPC requests/responses, it constructs a string of PHP code, that is later evaluated. This means any failure to properly handle the construction of this string can result in arbitrary execution of PHP code.

This new injection vulnerability is cause by not properly handling the situation, when certain XML tags are nested in the parsed document, that were never meant to be nested at all. This can be easily exploited in a way, that user-input is placed outside of string delimiters within the evaluation string, which obviously results in arbitrary code execution.

Note that several applications contains an embedded version on XML_RPC, therefor making them the vulnerable to the same code injection vulnerability.

awstats -- arbitrary code execution vulnerability awstats 6.4_1

An iDEFENSE Security Advisory reports:

Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in AWStats allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The problem specifically exists because of insufficient input filtering before passing user-supplied data to an eval() function. As part of the statistics reporting function, AWStats displays information about the most common referrer values that caused users to visit the website. The referrer data is used without proper sanitation in an eval() statement, resulting in the execution of arbitrary perl code.

Successful exploitation results in the execution of arbitrary commands with permissions of the web service. Exploitation will not occur until the stats page has been regenerated with the tainted referrer values from the http access log. Note that AWStats is only vulnerable in situations where at least one URLPlugin is enabled.

gforge -- XSS and email flood vulnerabilities gforge 0

Jose Antonio Coret reports that GForge contains multiple Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities and an e-mail flood vulnerability:

The login form is also vulnerable to XSS (Cross Site Scripting) attacks. This may be used to launch phising attacks by sending HTML e-mails (i.e.: saying that you need to upgrade to the latest GForge version due to a security problem) and putting in the e-mail an HTML link that points to an specially crafted url that inserts an html form in the GForge login page and when the user press the login button, he/she send the credentials to the attackers website.

The 'forgot your password?' feature allows a remote user to load a certain URL to cause the service to send a validation e-mail to the specified user's e-mail address. There is no limit to the number of messages sent over a period of time, so a remote user can flood the target user's secondary e-mail address. E-Mail Flood, E-Mail bomber.

ipsec -- Incorrect key usage in AES-XCBC-MAC FreeBSD 5.45.4_6 5.*5.3_20

Problem description

A programming error in the implementation of the AES-XCBC-MAC algorithm for authentication resulted in a constant key being used instead of the key specified by the system administrator.

Impact

If the AES-XCBC-MAC algorithm is used for authentication in the absence of any encryption, then an attacker may be able to forge packets which appear to originate from a different system and thereby succeed in establishing an IPsec session. If access to sensitive information or systems is controlled based on the identity of the source system, this may result in information disclosure or privilege escalation.

zlib -- buffer overflow vulnerability linux_base-suse 9.3_1 FreeBSD 5.45.4_6 5.35.3_20

Problem description

A fixed-size buffer is used in the decompression of data streams. Due to erronous analysis performed when zlib was written, this buffer, which was belived to be sufficiently large to handle any possible input stream, is in fact too small.

Impact

A carefully constructed compressed data stream can result in zlib overwriting some data structures. This may cause applications to halt, resulting in a denial of service; or it may result in an attacker gaining elevated privileges.

CVE-2005-1849 SA-05:18.zlib 2005-07-27 2005-08-05 2005-09-24
devfs -- ruleset bypass FreeBSD 5.45.4_5 5.*5.3_19

Problem description

Due to insufficient parameter checking of the node type during device creation, any user can expose hidden device nodes on devfs mounted file systems within their jail. Device nodes will be created in the jail with their normal default access permissions.

Impact

Jailed processes can get access to restricted resources on the host system. For jailed processes running with superuser privileges this implies access to all devices on the system. This level of access can lead to information leakage and privilege escalation.

gnupg -- OpenPGP symmetric encryption vulnerability gnupg 1.4.1 p5-Crypt-OpenPGP pgp pgpin 0

Serge Mister and Robert Zuccherato reports that the OpenPGP protocol is vulnerable to a cryptographic attack when using symmetric encryption in an automated way.

David Shaw reports about the impact:

This attack, while very significant from a cryptographic point of view, is not generally effective in the real world. To be specific, unless you have your OpenPGP program set up as part of an automated system to accept encrypted messages, decrypt them, and then provide a response to the submitter, then this does not affect you at all.

Note that the fix in GnuPG does note completely eliminate the potential problem:

These patches disable a portion of the OpenPGP protocol that the attack is exploiting. This change should not be user visible. With the patch in place, this attack will not work using a public-key encrypted message. It will still work using a passphrase-encrypted message.

opera -- image dragging vulnerability linux-opera opera-devel opera 8.02

A Secunia Advisory reports:

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and retrieve a user's files.

The vulnerability is caused due to Opera allowing a user to drag e.g. an image, which is actually a "javascript:" URI, resulting in cross-site scripting if dropped over another site. This may also be used to populate a file upload form, resulting in uploading of arbitrary files to a malicious web site.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is tricked into dragging and dropping e.g. an image or a link.

opera -- download dialog spoofing vulnerability linux-opera opera-devel opera 8.02

A Secunia Advisory reports:

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Opera, which can be exploited by malicious people to trick users into executing malicious files.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of extended ASCII codes in the download dialog. This can be exploited to spoof the file extension in the file download dialog via a specially crafted "Content-Disposition" HTTP header.

Successful exploitation may result in users being tricked into executing a malicious file via the download dialog, but requires that the "Arial Unicode MS" font (ARIALUNI.TTF) has been installed on the system.

fetchmail -- remote root/code injection from malicious POP3 server fetchmail 6.2.5.1

fetchmail's POP3/UIDL code does not truncate received UIDs properly. A malicious or compromised POP3 server can thus corrupt fetchmail's stack and inject code when fetchmail is using UIDL, either through configuration, or as a result of certain server capabilities. Note that fetchmail is run as root on some sites, so an attack might compromise the root account and thus the whole machine.

kdebase -- Kate backup file permission leak kdebase 3.2.03.4.1 linux_base-suse 9.39.3_2

A KDE Security Advisory explains:

Kate / Kwrite create a file backup before saving a modified file. These backup files are created with default permissions, even if the original file had more strict permissions set.

Depending on the system security settings, backup files might be readable by other users. Kate / Kwrite are network transparent applications and therefore this vulnerability might not be restricted to local users.

Any user can change any flag on any bug, even if they don't have access to that bug, or even if they can't normally make bug changes. This also allows them to expose the summary of a bug.

Bugs are inserted into the database before they are marked as private, in Bugzilla code. Thus, MySQL replication can lag in between the time that the bug is inserted and when it is marked as private (usually less than a second). If replication lags at this point, the bug summary will be accessible to all users until replication catches up. Also, on a very slow machine, there may be a pause longer than a second that allows users to see the title of the newly-filed bug.

nwclient -- multiple vulnerabilities nwclient 0

Insecure file permissions, network access control and DNS usage put systems that use Legato NetWorker at risk.

When the software is running, several files that contain sensitive information are created with insecure permissions. The information exposed include passwords and can therefore be used for privilege elevation.

An empty "servers" file, which should normally contain hostnames of authorized backup servers, may allow unauthorized backups to be made. Sensitive information can be extracted from these backups.

When reverse DNS fails for the Legato client IP a weak authorization scheme, containing a flaw that allows unauthorized access, is used. This may allow unauthorized access.

clamav -- cabinet file handling DoS vulnerability clamav 0.86 clamav-devel 20050620

An iDEFENSE Security Advisory reports:

Remote exploitation of an input validation error in Clam AntiVirus ClamAV allows attackers to cause a denial of service condition.

The vulnerability specifically exists due to insufficient validation on cabinet file header data. The ENSURE_BITS() macro fails to check for zero length reads, allowing a carefully constructed cabinet file to cause an infinite loop.

ClamAV is used in a number of mail gateway products. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to send a specially constructed CAB file through a mail gateway or personal anti-virus client utilizing the ClamAV scanning engine. The infinate loop will cause the ClamAV software to use all available processor resources, resulting in a denial of service or severe degradation to system performance. Remote exploitation can be achieved by sending a malicious file in an e-mail message or during an HTTP session.

cacti -- multiple vulnerabilities cacti 0.8.6f

Stefan Esser reports:

Wrongly implemented user input filters lead to multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities which can lead f.e. to disclosure of the admin password hash.

Wrongly implemented user input filters allows injection of user input into executed commandline.

Alberto Trivero posted his Remote Command Execution Exploit for Cacti <= 0.8.6d to Bugtraq on the 22th June. Having analysed his bug we come to the conclusion, that the malfunctioning input filters, which were already mentioned in the previous advisory are also responsible for this bug still being exploitable.

A HTTP headers bypass switch can also be used to completely bypass the authentification system of Cacti. As admin it is possible to execute shell commands with the permission of the webserver.

While looking at the source of Cacti a HTTP headers bypass switch was discovered, that also switches off a call to session_start() and the manual application of addslashes() in case of magic_quotes_gpc=Off.

When register_globals is turned on* an attacker can use this switch to disables Cacti's use of PHP's session support and therefore supply the session variables on his own through f.e. the URL. Additionally using the switch renders several SQL statements vulnerable to SQL Injections attacks, when magic_quotes_gpc is turned off, which is the recommended setting.

Logged in as an admin it is possible to issue shell commands.

(*) register_globals is turned off by default since PHP 4.2 but is activated on most servers because of older scripts requiring it.

CVE-2005-2107 CVE-2005-2108 CVE-2005-2109 CVE-2005-2110 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=112006967221438 2005-06-28 2005-07-05
wordpress -- multiple vulnerabilities wordpress 1.5.1.2,1

A Gentoo Linux Security Advisory reports:

Due to a lack of input validation, WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection and XSS attacks.

An attacker could use the SQL injection vulnerabilites to gain information from the database. Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser.

phpbb -- remote PHP code execution vulnerability phpbb 2.0.16

FrSIRT Advisory reports:

A vulnerability was identified in phpBB, which may be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable web server. This flaw is due to an input validation error in the "viewtopic.php" script that does not properly filter the "highlight" parameter before calling the "preg_replace()" function, which may be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP commands with the privileges of the web server.

kernel -- ipfw packet matching errors with address tables FreeBSD 5.45.4_3

Problem Description

The ipfw tables lookup code caches the result of the last query. The kernel may process multiple packets concurrently, performing several concurrent table lookups. Due to an insufficient locking, a cached result can become corrupted that could cause some addresses to be incorrectly matched against a lookup table.

Impact

When lookup tables are used with ipfw, packets may on very rare occasions incorrectly match a lookup table. This could result in a packet being treated contrary to the defined packet filtering ruleset. For example, a packet may be allowed to pass through when it should have been discarded.

The problem can only occur on Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) systems, or on Uni Processor (UP) systems with the PREEMPTION kernel option enabled (not the default).

Workaround

a) Do not use lookup tables.

OR

b) Disable concurrent processing of packets in the network stack by setting the "debug.mpsafenet=0" tunable:

# echo "debug.mpsafenet=0" << /boot/loader.conf

bzip2 -- denial of service and permission race vulnerabilities FreeBSD 5.45.4_3 5.*5.3_17 4.114.11_11 4.10_16 bzip2 1.0.3_1

Problem Description

Two problems have been discovered relating to the extraction of bzip2-compressed files. First, a carefully constructed invalid bzip2 archive can cause bzip2 to enter an infinite loop. Second, when creating a new file, bzip2 closes the file before setting its permissions.

Impact

The first problem can cause bzip2 to extract a bzip2 archive to an infinitely large file. If bzip2 is used in automated processing of untrusted files this could be exploited by an attacker to create an denial-of-service situation by exhausting disk space or by consuming all available cpu time.

The second problem can allow a local attacker to change the permissions of local files owned by the user executing bzip2 providing that they have write access to the directory in which the file is being extracted.

Workaround

Do not uncompress bzip2 archives from untrusted sources and do not uncompress files in directories where untrusted users have write access.

kernel -- TCP connection stall denial of service FreeBSD 5.45.4_3 5.*5.3_17 4.114.11_11 4.10_16

Problem Description

Two problems have been discovered in the FreeBSD TCP stack.

First, when a TCP packets containing a timestamp is received, inadequate checking of sequence numbers is performed, allowing an attacker to artificially increase the internal "recent" timestamp for a connection.

Second, a TCP packet with the SYN flag set is accepted for established connections, allowing an attacker to overwrite certain TCP options.

Impact

Using either of the two problems an attacker with knowledge of the local and remote IP and port numbers associated with a connection can cause a denial of service situation by stalling the TCP connection. The stalled TCP connection my be closed after some time by the other host.

Workaround

In some cases it may be possible to defend against these attacks by blocking the attack packets using a firewall. Packets used to effect either of these attacks would have spoofed source IP addresses.

sudo -- local race condition vulnerability sudo 1.6.8.9

Todd C. Miller reports:

A race condition in Sudo's command pathname handling prior to Sudo version 1.6.8p9 that could allow a user with Sudo privileges to run arbitrary commands.

Exploitation of the bug requires that the user be allowed to run one or more commands via Sudo and be able to create symbolic links in the filesystem. Furthermore, a sudoers entry giving another user access to the ALL pseudo-command must follow the user's sudoers entry for the race to exist.

trac -- file upload/download vulnerability trac 0.8.4

Stefan Esser reports:

Trac's wiki and ticket systems allows to add attachments to wiki entries and bug tracker tickets. These attachments are stored within directories that are determined by the id of the corresponding ticket or wiki entry.

Due to a missing validation of the id parameter it is possible for an attacker to supply arbitrary paths to the upload and attachment viewer scripts. This means that a potential attacker can retrieve any file accessible by the webserver user.

Additionally it is possible to upload arbitrary files (up to a configured file length) to any place the webserver has write access too.

For obvious reasons this can lead to the execution of arbitrary code if it possible to upload files to the document root or it's subdirectories. One example of a configuration would be f.e. running Trac and s9y/wordpress with writeable content directories on the same webserver.

Another potential usage of this exploit would be to abuse Trac powered webservers as storage for f.e. torrent files.

gzip -- directory traversal and permission race vulnerabilities FreeBSD 5.45.4_2 5.05.3_16 4.114.11_10 4.104.10_15 4.94.9_18 4.8_33 gzip 1.3.5_2

Problem Description

Two problems related to extraction of files exist in gzip:

The first problem is that gzip does not properly sanitize filenames containing "/" when uncompressing files using the -N command line option.

The second problem is that gzip does not set permissions on newly extracted files until after the file has been created and the file descriptor has been closed.

Impact

The first problem can allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary local files when uncompressing a file using the -N command line option.

The second problem can allow a local attacker to change the permissions of arbitrary local files, on the same partition as the one the user is uncompressing a file on, by removing the file the user is uncompressing and replacing it with a hardlink before the uncompress operation is finished.

Workaround

Do not use the -N command line option on untrusted files and do not uncompress files in directories where untrusted users have write access.

tcpdump -- infinite loops in protocol decoding FreeBSD 5.45.4_2 5.35.3_16 tcpdump 3.8.3_2

Problem Description

Several tcpdump protocol decoders contain programming errors which can cause them to go into infinite loops.

Impact

An attacker can inject specially crafted packets into the network which, when processed by tcpdump, could lead to a denial-of-service. After the attack, tcpdump would no longer capture traffic, and would potentially use all available processor time.

squirrelmail -- XSS and remote code injection vulnerabilities squirrelmail ja-squirrelmail 1.4.4

A SquirrelMail Security Advisory reports:

SquirrelMail 1.4.4 has been released to resolve a number of security issues disclosed below. It is strongly recommended that all running SquirrelMail prior to 1.4.4 upgrade to the latest release.

Remote File Inclusion

Manoel Zaninetti reported an issue in src/webmail.php which would allow a crafted URL to include a remote web page. This was assigned CAN-2005-0103 by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.

Cross Site Scripting Issues

A possible cross site scripting issue exists in src/webmail.php that is only accessible when the PHP installation is running with register_globals set to On. This issue was uncovered internally by the SquirrelMail Development team. This isssue was assigned CAN-2005-0104 by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures.

A second issue which was resolved in the 1.4.4-rc1 release was uncovered and assigned CAN-2004-1036 by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. This issue could allow a remote user to send a specially crafted header and cause execution of script (such as javascript) in the client browser.

Local File Inclusion

A possible local file inclusion issue was uncovered by one of our developers involving custom preference handlers. This issue is only active if the PHP installation is running with register_globals set to On.

mailman -- generated passwords are poor quality mailman ja-mailman 2.1.6

Florian Weimer wrote:

Mailman 2.1.5 uses weak auto-generated passwords for new subscribers. These passwords are assigned when members subscribe without specifying their own password (either by email or the web frontend). Knowledge of this password allows an attacker to gain access to the list archive even though she's not a member and the archive is restricted to members only. [...]

This means that only about 5 million different passwords are ever generated, a number that is in the range of brute force attacks -- you only have to guess one subscriber address (which is usually not that hard).

kernel -- information disclosure when using HTT FreeBSD 5.45.4_1 5.05.3_15 4.114.11_9 4.10_14

Problem description and impact

When running on processors supporting Hyper-Threading Technology, it is possible for a malicious thread to monitor the execution of another thread.

Information may be disclosed to local users, allowing in many cases for privilege escalation. For example, on a multi-user system, it may be possible to steal cryptographic keys used in applications such as OpenSSH or SSL-enabled web servers.

NOTE: Similar problems may exist in other simultaneous multithreading implementations, or even some systems in the absence of simultaneous multithreading. However, current research has only demonstrated this flaw in Hyper-Threading Technology, where shared memory caches are used.

Workaround

Systems not using processors with Hyper-Threading Technology support are not affected by this issue. On systems which are affected, the security flaw can be eliminated by setting the "machdep.hlt_logical_cpus" tunable:

# echo "machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1" >> /boot/loader.conf

The system must be rebooted in order for tunables to take effect.

Use of this workaround is not recommended on "dual-core" systems, as this workaround will also disable one of the processor cores.

A Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory reports:

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and compromise a user's system.

  1. The problem is that "IFRAME" JavaScript URLs are not properly protected from being executed in context of another URL in the history list. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an arbitrary site.
  2. Input passed to the "IconURL" parameter in "InstallTrigger.install()" is not properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with escalated privileges via a specially crafted JavaScript URL.

Successful exploitation requires that the site is allowed to install software (default sites are "update.mozilla.org" and "addons.mozilla.org").

A combination of vulnerability 1 and 2 can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

A xine security announcement reports:

By a user receiving data from a malicious network streaming server, an attacker can overrun a heap buffer, which can, on some systems, lead to or help in executing attacker-chosen malicious code with the permissions of the user running a xine-lib based media application.

Both the MMS and Real RTSP streaming client code made some too-strong assumptions on the transferred data. Several critical bounds checks were missing, resulting in the possibility of heap overflows, should the remote server not adhere to these assumptions. In the MMS case, a remote server could present content with too many individual streams; in the RTSP case, a remote server's reply could have too many lines.

An attacker can set up a server delivering malicious data to the users. This can be used to overflow a heap buffer, which can, with certain implementations of heap management, lead to attacker chosen data written to the stack. This can cause attacker-chosen code being executed with the permissions of the user running the application. By tricking users to retrieve a stream, which can be as easy as providing a link on a website, this vulnerability can be exploited remotely.

Pluf has discovered a vulnerability in Sun Java JDK/SDK, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The jar tool does not check properly if the files to be extracted have the string "../" on its names, so it's possible for an attacker to create a malicious jar file in order to overwrite arbitrary files within the filesystem.

A Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory reports:

moz_bug_r_a4 reported several exploits giving an attacker the ability to install malicious code or steal data, requiring only that the user do commonplace actions like click on a link or open the context menu. The common cause in each case was privileged UI code ("chrome") being overly trusting of DOM nodes from the content window. Scripts in the web page can override properties and methods of DOM nodes and shadow the native values, unless steps are taken to get the true underlying values.

We found that most extensions also interacted with content DOM in a natural, but unsafe, manner. Changes were made so that chrome code using this natural DOM coding style will now automatically use the native DOM value if it exists without having to use cumbersome wrapper objects.

Most of the specific exploits involved tricking the privileged code into calling eval() on an attacker-supplied script string, or the equivalent using the Script() object. Checks were added in the security manager to make sure eval and Script objects are run with the privileges of the context that created them, not the potentially elevated privileges of the context calling them.

AD-LAB reports that a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in OpenOffice's handling of DOC documents. When reading a DOC document 16 bit from a 32 bit integer is used for memory allocation, but the full 32 bit is used for further processing of the document. This can allow an attacker to crash OpenOffice, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running OpenOffice, by tricking an user into opening a specially crafted DOC document.

portupgrade -- insecure temporary file handling vulnerability portupgrade 20041226_2

Simon L. Nielsen discovered that portupgrade handles temporary files in an insecure manner. This could allow an unprivileged local attacker to execute arbitrary commands or overwrite arbitrary files with the permissions of the user running portupgrade, typically root, by way of a symlink attack.

The following issues exist where the temporary files are created, by default in the world writeable directory /var/tmp, with the permissions of the user running portupgrade:

  • pkg_fetch download packages with a predictable local filename allowing a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary local files or potentially replace the downloaded package after download but before install with a package with malicious content, allowing the attacker to run arbitrary commands.
  • portupgrade will, when upgrading ports/packages, write the old package to a predictable temporary file, allowing an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
  • portupgrade will touch a temporary temporary file with a constant filename (pkgdb.fixme) allowing an attacker to create arbitrary zero-byte files via a symlink attack.

A workaround for these issues is to set the PKG_TMPDIR environment variable to a directory only write-able by the user running portupgrade.

wu-ftpd -- remote globbing DoS vulnerability wu-ftpd 2.6.2_6 wu-ftpd+ipv6 2.6.2_7

An iDEFENSE Security Advisory reports:

Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in version 2.6.2 of WU-FPTD could allow for a denial of service of the system by resource exhaustion.

The vulnerability specifically exists in the wu_fnmatch() function in wu_fnmatch.c. When a pattern containing a '*' character is supplied as input, the function calls itself recursively on a smaller substring. By supplying a string which contains a large number of '*' characters, the system will take a long time to return the results, during which time it will be using a large amount of CPU time.

wine -- information disclosure due to insecure temporary file handling wine 20050310

Due to insecure temporary file creation in the Wine Windows emulator, it is possible for any user to read potentially sensitive information from temporary registry files.

When a Win32 application is launched by wine, wine makes a dump of the Windows registry in /tmp with name regxxxxyyyy.tmp , where xxxxxx is the pid in hexadecimal value of the current wine process and yyyy is an integer value usually equal to zero.

regxxxxyyyy.tmp is created with 0644 (-rw-r--r--) permissions. This could represent a security problem in a multi-user environment. Indeed, any local user could access to windows regstry's dump and get sensitive information, like passwords and other private data.

uim -- privilege escalation vulnerability ja-uim 0.4.6

The uim developers reports:

Takumi ASAKI discovered that uim always trusts environment variables. But this is not correct behavior, sometimes environment variables shouldn't be trusted. This bug causes privilege escalation when libuim is linked against setuid/setgid application. Since GTK+ prohibits setuid/setgid applications, the bug appears only in 'immodule for Qt' enabled Qt. (Normal Qt is also safe.)

phpbb -- privilege elevation and path disclosure phpbb 2.0.13

The phpbb developer group reports:

phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.13, the "Beware of the furries" edition. This release addresses two recent security exploits, one of them critical. They were reported a few days after .12 was released and no one is more annoyed than us, having to release a new version ini such a short period of time. Fortunately both fixes are easy and in each case just one line needs to be edited.

curl -- authentication buffer overflow vulnerability curl 7.13.1

Two iDEFENSE Security Advisories reports:

An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow condition exists when using NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication. The problem specifically exists within Curl_input_ntlm() defined in lib/http_ntlm.c.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the target user. Exploitation requires that an attacker either coerce or force a target to connect to a malicious server using NTLM authentication.

An exploitable stack-based buffer overflow condition exists when using Kerberos authentication. The problem specifically exists within the functions Curl_krb_kauth() and krb4_auth() defined in lib/krb4.c.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the target user. Exploitation requires that an attacker either coerce or force a target to connect to a malicious server using Kerberos authentication.

cyrus-imapd -- multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities cyrus-imapd 2.1.18 2.2.*2.2.11

The Cyrus IMAP Server ChangeLog states:

  • Fix possible single byte overflow in mailbox handling code.
  • Fix possible single byte overflows in the imapd annotate extension.
  • Fix stack buffer overflows in fetchnews (exploitable by peer news server), backend (exploitable by admin), and in imapd (exploitable by users though only on platforms where a filename may be larger than a mailbox name).

The 2.1.X series are reportedly only affected by the second issue.

These issues may lead to execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the Cyrus IMAP Server.

A Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory reports:

Plugins (such as flash) can be used to load privileged content into a frame. Once loaded various spoofs can be applied to get the user to interact with the privileged content. Michael Krax's "Fireflashing" example demonstrates that an attacker can open about:config in a frame, hide it with an opacity setting, and if the attacker can get the victim to click at a particular spot (design some kind of simple game) you could toggle boolean preferences, some of which would make further attacks easier.

The "firescrolling" example demonstrates arbitrary code execution (in this case downloading a file) by convincing the user to scroll twice.

Workaround: Disable JavaScript.

The squid patches page notes:

This patch addresses a HTTP protocol mismatch related to oversized reply headers. In addition it enhances the cache.log reporting on reply header parsing failures to make it easier to track down which sites are malfunctioning.

It is believed that this bug may lead to cache pollution or allow access controls to be bypassed.

According to Python Security Advisory PSF-2005-001,

The Python development team has discovered a flaw in the SimpleXMLRPCServer library module which can give remote attackers access to internals of the registered object or its module or possibly other modules. The flaw only affects Python XML-RPC servers that use the register_instance() method to register an object without a _dispatch() method. Servers using only register_function() are not affected.

On vulnerable XML-RPC servers, a remote attacker may be able to view or modify globals of the module(s) containing the registered instance's class(es), potentially leading to data loss or arbitrary code execution. If the registered object is a module, the danger is particularly serious. For example, if the registered module imports the os module, an attacker could invoke the os.system() function.

Note: This vulnerability affects your system only if you're running SimpleXMLRPCServer-based server. This isn't harmful at all if you don't run any internet server written in Python or your server doesn't serve in XML-RPC protocol.

perl -- vulnerabilities in PERLIO_DEBUG handling perl 5.85.8.6_2

Kevin Finisterre discovered bugs in perl's I/O debug support:

  • The environmental variable PERLIO_DEBUG is honored even by the set-user-ID perl command (usually named sperl or suidperl). As a result, a local attacker may be able to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2005-0155)
  • A buffer overflow may occur in threaded versions of perl when the full pathname of the script being executed is very long. (CVE-2005-0156).

Note: By default, no set-user-ID perl binary is installed. An administrator must enable it manually at build time with the ENABLE_SUIDPERL port flag.

newsgrab -- insecure file and directory creation newsgrab 0.4.0

The newsgrab script uses insecure permissions during the creation of the local output directory and downloaded files.

After a file is created, permissions on it are set using the mode value of the newsgroup posting. This can potentially be a problem when the mode is not restrictive enough. In addition, the output directory is created with world writable permissions allowing other users to drop symlinks or other files at that location.

http://people.freebsd.org/~niels/issues/newsgrab-20050114.txt http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=300562 CVE-2005-0154 2005-01-18 2005-02-01
newsgrab -- directory traversal vulnerability newsgrab 0.4.0

The newsgrab script creates files by using the names provided in the newsgroup messages in a perl open() call. This is done without performing any security checks to prevent a directory traversal. A specially crafted newsgroup message could cause newsgrab to drop an attachment anywhere on the file system using the permissions of the user running the script.

http://people.freebsd.org/~niels/issues/newsgrab-20050114.txt http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=300562 CVE-2005-0153 2005-01-18 2005-02-01
newspost -- server response buffer overflow vulnerability newspost 2.1.1

The newspost program uses a function named socket_getline to read server responses from the network socket. Unfortunately this function does not check the length of the buffer in which the read data is stored and only stops reading when a newline character is found.

A malicious NNTP server could use this bug to cause a buffer overflow by sending an overly long response. Such an overflow allows arbitrary code to be executed, with the privileges of the newspost process, on the affected systems.

newsfetch -- server response buffer overflow vulnerability newsfetch 1.21_1

The newsfetch program uses the sscanf function to read information from server responses into static memory buffers. Unfortunately this is done without any proper bounds checking. As a result long server responses may cause an overflow when a newsgroup listing is requested from an NNTP server.

squid -- buffer overflow in WCCP recvfrom() call squid 2.5.7_10

According to the Squid Proxy Cache Security Update Advisory SQUID-2005:3,

The WCCP recvfrom() call accepts more data than will fit in the allocated buffer. An attacker may send a larger-than-normal WCCP message to Squid and overflow this buffer.

Severity:

The bug is important because it allows remote attackers to crash Squid, causing a disription in service. However, the bug is exploitable only if you have configured Squid to send WCCP messages to, and expect WCCP replies from, a router.

Sites that do not use WCCP are not vulnerable.

Note that while the default configuration of the FreeBSD squid port enables WCCP support in general, the default configuration supplied does not actually configure squid to send and receive WCCP messages.

mod_dosevasive -- insecure temporary file creation mod_dosevasive20 1.10

An LSS Security Advisory reports:

When a denial of service attack is detected, mod_dosevasive will, among other things, create a temporary file which it will use to trace actions from the offensive IP address. This file is insecurely created in /tmp and it's name is easily predictable.

It is then easy for an attacker to create arbitrary files in any directory that the user under which apache runs has privileges to write.

[...] once the target file is opened, there is a race attack (although difficult to exploit) which can lead to mod_dosevasive overwriting any file that the user under which apache runs has privileges to write.

squid -- possible cache-poisoning via malformed HTTP responses squid 2.5.7_9

The squid patches page notes:

This patch makes Squid considerably stricter while parsing the HTTP protocol.

  1. A Content-length header should only appear once in a valid request or response. Multiple Content-length headers, in conjunction with specially crafted requests, may allow Squid's cache to be poisioned with bad content in certain situations.
  2. CR characters is only allowed as part of the CR NL line terminator, not alone. This to ensure that all involved agrees on the structure of HTTP headers.
  3. Rejects requests/responses that have whitespace in an HTTP header name.

To enable these strict parsing rules, update to at least squid-2.5.7_9 and specify relaxed_header_parser off in squid.conf.

A Secunia Research advisory reports:

Secunia Research has reported a vulnerability in multiple browsers, which can be exploited by malicious people to spoof the content of websites.

The problem is that a website can inject content into another site's window if the target name of the window is known. This can e.g. be exploited by a malicious website to spoof the content of a pop-up window opened on a trusted website.

Secunia has constructed a test, which can be used to check if your browser is affected by this issue: http://secunia.com/multiple_browsers_window_injection_vulnerability_test/

A workaround for Mozilla-based browsers is available.

opera -- multiple vulnerabilities in Java implementation opera opera-devel linux-opera 7.54.20041210

Marc Schoenefeld reports:

Opera 7.54 is vulnerable to leakage of the java sandbox, allowing malicious applets to gain unacceptable privileges. This allows them to be used for information gathering (spying) of local identity information and system configurations as well as causing annoying crash effects.

Opera 754 [sic] which was released Aug 5,2004 is vulnerable to the XSLT processor covert channel attack, which was corrected with JRE 1.4.2_05 [released in July 04], but in disadvantage to the users the opera packaging guys chose to bundle the JRE 1.4.2_04 [...]

Internal pointer DoS exploitation: Opera.jar contains the opera replacement of the java plugin. It therefore handles communication between javascript and the Java VM via the liveconnect protocol. The public class EcmaScriptObject exposes a system memory pointer to the java address space, by constructing a special variant of this type an internal cache table can be polluted by false entries that infer proper function of the JSObject class and in the following proof-of-concept crash the browser.

Exposure of location of local java installation Sniffing the URL classpath allows to retrieve the URLs of the bootstrap class path and therefore the JDK installation directory.

Exposure of local user name to an untrusted applet An attacker could use the sun.security.krb5.Credentials class to retrieve the name of the currently logged in user and parse his home directory from the information which is provided by the thrown java.security.AccessControlException.

cups-lpr -- lppasswd multiple vulnerabilities cups-lpr fr-cups-lpr 1.1.23

D. J. Bernstein reports that Bartlomiej Sieka has discovered several security vulnerabilities in lppasswd, which is part of CUPS. In the following excerpt from Bernstein's email, CVE names have been added for each issue:

First, lppasswd blithely ignores write errors in fputs(line,outfile) at lines 311 and 315 of lppasswd.c, and in fprintf(...) at line 346. An attacker who fills up the disk at the right moment can arrange for /usr/local/etc/cups/passwd to be truncated. (CAN-2004-1268)

Second, if lppasswd bumps into a file-size resource limit while writing passwd.new, it leaves passwd.new in place, disabling all subsequent invocations of lppasswd. Any local user can thus disable lppasswd... (CAN-2004-1269)

Third, line 306 of lppasswd.c prints an error message to stderr but does not exit. This is not a problem on systems that ensure that file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are open for setuid programs, but it is a problem on other systems; lppasswd does not check that passwd.new is different from stderr, so it ends up writing a user-controlled error message to passwd if the user closes file descriptor 2. (CAN-2004-1270)

Note: The third issue, CVE-2004-1270, does not affect FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE or later systems, as these systems ensure that the file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are always open for set-user-ID and set-group-ID programs.

helvis -- arbitrary file deletion problem ko-helvis 1.8h2_1 helvis 1.8h2_1

The setuid root elvprsv utility, used to preserve recovery helvis files, can be abused by local users to delete with root privileges.

The problem is that elvprsv deletes files when it thinks they have become corrupt. When elvprsv is pointed to a normal file then it will almost always think the file is corrupt and deletes it. This behavior may be exploited by local attackers to delete critical files.

CVE-2005-0120 http://people.freebsd.org/~niels/ports/korean/helvis/issues.txt 2004-11-24 2005-01-10 2005-01-19
helvis -- information leak vulnerabilities ko-helvis 1.8h2_1 helvis 1.8h2_1

Once a recovery file has been preserved by the setuid root elvprsv utility it is placed in a worldreadable directory with worldreadable permissions. This possibly allows sensitive information to leak.

In addition to this information leak, it is possible for users to recover files that belong to other users by using elvrec, another setuid root binary.

In an iDEFENSE Security Advisory infamous41md reports:

Remote exploitation of a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability within the LibTIFF package could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability specifically exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data when calculating the size of a directory entry. A TIFF file includes a number of directory entry header fields that describe the data in the file. Included in these entries is an entry count and offset value that are calculated to determine the size and location of the data for that entry.

vim -- vulnerabilities in modeline handling vim vim-lite vim+ruby 6.3.45

Ciaran McCreesh discovered news ways in which a VIM modeline can be used to trojan a text file. The patch by Bram Moolenaar reads:

Problem: Unusual characters in an option value may cause unexpected behavior, especially for a modeline. (Ciaran McCreesh)

Solution: Don't allow setting termcap options or 'printdevice' or 'titleold' in a modeline. Don't list options for "termcap" and "all" in a modeline. Don't allow unusual characters in 'filetype', 'syntax', 'backupext', 'keymap', 'patchmode' and 'langmenu'.

Note: It is generally recommended that VIM users use set nomodeline in ~/.vimrc to avoid the possibility of trojaned text files.

up-imapproxy -- multiple vulnerabilities up-imapproxy 1.2.2 pop3proxy 1.1

Timo Sirainen reports:

There are various bugs in up-imapproxy which can crash it. Since up-imapproxy runs in a single process with each connection handled in a separate thread, any crash kills all the connections and stops listening for new ones.

In 64bit systems it might be possible to make it leak data (mails, passwords, ..) from other connections to attacker's connection. However I don't think up-imapproxy actually works in any 64bit system so this is just a theoretical problem.

jabberd -- denial-of-service vulnerability jabber 1.4.3.1

José Antonio Calvo discovered a bug in the Jabber 1.x server. According to Matthias Wimmer:

Without this patch, it is possible to remotly crash jabberd14, if there is access to one of the following types of network sockets:

  • Socket accepting client connections
  • Socket accepting connections from other servers
  • Socket connecting to an other Jabber server
  • Socket accepting connections from server components
  • Socket connecting to server components

This is any socket on which the jabberd server parses XML!

The problem existed in the included expat XML parser code. This patch removes the included expat code from jabberd14 and links jabberd against an installed version of expat.

krb5 -- heap buffer overflow vulnerability in libkadm5srv krb5 krb5-beta 1.3.6

A MIT krb5 Security Advisory reports:

The MIT Kerberos 5 administration library (libkadm5srv) contains a heap buffer overflow in password history handling code which could be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a Key Distribution Center (KDC) host. The overflow occurs during a password change of a principal with a certain password history state. An administrator must have performed a certain password policy change in order to create the vulnerable state.

An authenticated user, not necessarily one with administrative privileges, could execute arbitrary code on the KDC host, compromising an entire Kerberos realm.

samba -- integer overflow vulnerability samba 3.0.10,1 ja-samba 2.2.12.j1.0beta1_2 3.*3.0.10,1

Greg MacManus, iDEFENSE Labs reports:

Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in the smbd daemon included in Samba 2.0.x, Samba 2.2.x, and Samba 3.0.x prior to and including 3.0.9 could allow an attacker to cause controllable heap corruption, leading to execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges.

Successful remote exploitation allows an attacker to gain root privileges on a vulnerable system. In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker must possess credentials that allow access to a share on the Samba server. Unsuccessful exploitation attempts will cause the process serving the request to crash with signal 11, and may leave evidence of an attack in logs.

mysql -- GRANT access restriction problem mysql-server 3.23.58_3 4.*4.0.21

When a user is granted access to a database with a name containing an underscore and the underscore is not escaped then that user might also be able to access other, similarly named, databases on the affected system.

The problem is that the underscore is seen as a wildcard by MySQL and therefore it is possible that an admin might accidently GRANT a user access to multiple databases.

mysql -- mysql_real_connect buffer overflow vulnerability mysql-server 3.23.58_3 4.*4.0.21 mysql-client 3.23.58_3 4.*4.0.21

The mysql_real_connect function doesn't properly handle DNS replies by copying the IP address into a buffer without any length checking. A specially crafted DNS reply may therefore be used to cause a buffer overflow on affected systems.

Note that whether this issue can be exploitable depends on the system library responsible for the gethostbyname function. The bug finder, Lukasz Wojtow, explaines this with the following words:

In glibc there is a limitation for an IP address to have only 4 bytes (obviously), but generally speaking the length of the address comes with a response for dns query (i know it sounds funny but read rfc1035 if you don't believe). This bug can occur on libraries where gethostbyname function takes length from dns's response

wget -- multiple vulnerabilities wget wget-devel 1.10.a1 wgetpro wget+ipv6 0

Jan Minar reports that there exists multiple vulnerabilities in wget:

Wget erroneously thinks that the current directory is a fair game, and will happily write in any file in and below it. Malicious HTTP response or malicious HTML file can redirect wget to a file that is vital to the system, and wget will create/append/overwrite it.

Wget apparently has at least two methods of ``sanitizing'' the potentially malicious data it receives from the HTTP stream, therefore a malicious redirects can pass the check. We haven't find a way to trick wget into writing above the parent directory, which doesn't mean it's not possible.

Malicious HTTP response can overwrite parts of the terminal so that the user will not notice anything wrong, or will believe the error was not fatal.

zip -- long path buffer overflow zip 2.3_2

A HexView security advisory reports:

When zip performs recursive folder compression, it does not check for the length of resulting path. If the path is too long, a buffer overflow occurs leading to stack corruption and segmentation fault. It is possible to exploit this vulnerability by embedding a shellcode in directory or file name. While the issue is not of primary concern for regular users, it can be critical for environments where zip archives are re-compressed automatically using Info-Zip application.

Cyrus IMAPd -- APPEND command uses undefined programming construct cyrus-imapd 2.2.72.2.8

To support MULTIAPPENDS the cmd_append handler uses the global stage array. This array is one of the things that gets destructed when the fatal() function is triggered. When the Cyrus IMAP code adds new entries to this array this is done with the help of the postfix increment operator in combination with memory allocation functions. The increment is performed on a global variable counting the number of allocated stages. Because the memory allocation function can fail and therefore internally call fatal() this construct is undefined arcording to ANSI C. This means that it is not clearly defined if the numstage counter is already increased when fatal() is called or not. While older gcc versions increase the counter after the memory allocation function has returned, on newer gcc versions (3.x) the counter gets actually increased before. In such a case the stage destructing process will try to free an uninitialised and maybe attacker supplied pointer. Which again could lead to remote code execution. (Because it is hard for an attacker to let the memory allocation functions fail in the right moment no PoC code for this problem was designed)

Cyrus IMAPd -- FETCH command out of bounds memory corruption cyrus-imapd 2.1.17 2.2.*2.2.8

The argument parser of the fetch command suffers a bug very similiar to the partial command problem. Arguments like "body[p", "binary[p" or "binary[p" will be wrongly detected and the bufferposition can point outside of the allocated buffer for the rest of the parsing process. When the parser triggers the PARSE_PARTIAL macro after such a malformed argument was received this can lead to a similiar one byte memory corruption and allows remote code execution, when the heap layout was successfully controlled by the attacker.

CVE-2004-1013 http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/152004.html 2004-11-06 2004-11-22 2004-11-24
Cyrus IMAPd -- PARTIAL command out of bounds memory corruption cyrus-imapd 2.1.17 2.2.*2.2.6

Due to a bug within the argument parser of the partial command an argument like "body[p" will be wrongly detected as "body.peek". Because of this the bufferposition gets increased by 10 instead of 5 and could therefore point outside the allocated memory buffer for the rest of the parsing process. In imapd versions prior to 2.2.7 the handling of "body" or "bodypeek" arguments was broken so that the terminating ']' got overwritten by a '\0'. Combined the two problems allow a potential attacker to overwrite a single byte of malloc() control structures, which leads to remote code execution if the attacker successfully controls the heap layout.

Cyrus IMAPd -- IMAPMAGICPLUS preauthentification overflow cyrus-imapd 2.2.42.2.8

When the option imapmagicplus is activated on a server the PROXY and LOGIN commands suffer a standard stack overflow, because the username is not checked against a maximum length when it is copied into a temporary stack buffer. This bug is especially dangerous because it can be triggered before any kind of authentification took place.

gaim -- MSN denial-of-service vulnerabilities gaim ja-gaim ko-gaim ru-gaim 1.0.2 gaim 20030000

The Gaim team discovered denial-of-service vulnerabilities in the MSN protocol handler:

After accepting a file transfer request, Gaim will attempt to allocate a buffer of a size equal to the entire filesize, this allocation attempt will cause Gaim to crash if the size exceeds the amount of available memory.

Gaim allocates a buffer for the payload of each message received based on the size field in the header of the message. A malicious peer could specify an invalid size that exceeds the amount of available memory.

gaim -- Content-Length header denial-of-service vulnerability gaim ja-gaim ko-gaim ru-gaim 0.82 gaim 20030000

Sean infamous42md reports:

When a remote server provides a large "content-length" header value, Gaim will attempt to allocate a buffer to store the content, however this allocation attempt will cause Gaim to crash if the length exceeds the amount of possible memory. This happens when reading profile information on some protocols. It also happens when smiley themes are installed via drag and drop.

gaim -- malicious smiley themes gaim ja-gaim ko-gaim ru-gaim 0.82 gaim 20030000

The Gaim Security Issues page documents a problem with installing smiley themes from an untrusted source:

To install a new smiley theme, a user can drag a tarball from a graphical file manager, or a hypertext link to one from a web browser. When a tarball is dragged, Gaim executes a shell command to untar it. However, it does not escape the filename before sending it to the shell. Thus, a specially crafted filename could execute arbitrary commands if the user could be convinced to drag a file into the smiley theme selector.

mpg123 -- buffer overflow in URL handling mpg123 mpg123-nas mpg123-esound 0.59r_15

Carlos Barros reports that mpg123 contains two buffer overflows. These vulnerabilities can potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.

The first buffer overflow can occur when mpg123 parses a URL with a user-name/password field that is more than 256 characters long. This problem can be triggered either locally or remotely via a specially crafted play list. The second potential buffer overflow may be triggered locally by a specially crafted symlink to the mpg123 binary. This problem is not as serious, since mpg123 is not installed setuid by default.

Several scripting vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in Mozilla:

CVE-2004-0905

javascript; links dragged onto another frame or page allows an attacker to steal or modify sensitive information from other sites. The user could be convinced to drag obscurred links in the context of a game or even a fake scrollbar. If the user could be convinced to drag two links in sequence into a separate window (not frame) the attacker would be able to run arbitrary programs.

CVE-2004-0908

Untrusted javascript code can read and write to the clipboard, stealing any sensitive data the user might have copied. Workaround: disable javascript

CVE-2004-0909

Signed scripts requesting enhanced abilities could construct the request in a way that led to a confusing grant dialog, possibly fooling the user into thinking the privilege requested was inconsequential while actually obtaining explicit permission to run and install software. Workaround: Never grant enhanced abilities of any kind to untrusted web pages.

When processing URIs that contain an unqualified host name-- specifically, a domain name of only one component-- Mozilla will perform matching against the first component of the domain name in SSL certificates. In other words, in some situations, a certificate issued to "www.example.com" will be accepted as matching "www".

samba -- remote file disclosure samba 2.2.12 3.a3.0.2a_1,1 ja-samba 2.2.11.j1.0_1

According to a Samba Team security notice:

A security vulnerability has been located in Samba 2.2.x <= 2.2.11 and Samba 3.0.x <= 3.0.5. A remote attacker may be able to gain access to files which exist outside of the share's defined path. Such files must still be readable by the account used for the connection.

The original notice for CAN-2004-0815 indicated that Samba 3.0.x <= 3.0.5 was vulnerable to the security issue. After further research, Samba developers have confirmed that only Samba 3.0.2a and earlier releases contain the exploitable code.

Several heap buffer overflows were discovered and fixed in the most recent versions of Mozilla, Firefox, and Thunderbird. These overflows may occur when:

  • Using the "Send Page" function.
  • Checking mail on a malicious POP3 server.
  • Processing non-ASCII URLs.

Each of these vulnerabilities may be exploited for remote code execution.

Stefan Esser of e-matters discovered that PHP's strip_tags() function would ignore certain characters during parsing of tags, allowing these tags to pass through. Select browsers could then parse these tags, possibly allowing cross-site scripting attacks.

CVE-2004-0595 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=108981589117423 http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/122004.html 10724 2007-07-07 2004-09-27 2004-10-02

Stefan Esser of e-matters discovered a condition within PHP that may lead to remote execution of arbitrary code. The memory_limit facility is used to notify functions when memory contraints have been met. Under certain conditions, the entry into this facility is able to interrupt functions such as zend_hash_init() at locations not suitable for interruption. The result would leave these functions in a vulnerable state.

An attacker that is able to trigger the memory_limit abort within zend_hash_init() and is additionally able to control the heap before the HashTable itself is allocated, is able to supply his own HashTable destructor pointer. [...]

All mentioned places outside of the extensions are quite easy to exploit, because the memory allocation up to those places is deterministic and quite static throughout different PHP versions. [...]

Because the exploit itself consist of supplying an arbitrary destructor pointer this bug is exploitable on any platform.

subversion -- WebDAV fails to protect metadata subversion subversion-perl subversion-python 1.0.8

In some situations, subversion metadata may be unexpectedly disclosed via WebDAV. A subversion advisory states:

mod_authz_svn, the Apache httpd module which does path-based authorization on Subversion repositories, is not correctly protecting all metadata on unreadable paths.

This security issue is not about revealing the contents of protected files: it only reveals metadata about protected areas such as paths and log messages. This may or may not be important to your organization, depending on how you're using path-based authorization, and the sensitivity of the metadata.

Under some situations, Mozilla will automatically import a certificate from an email message or web site. This behavior can be used as a denial-of-service attack: if the certificate has a distinguished name (DN) identical to one of the built-in Certificate Authorities (CAs), then Mozilla will no longer be able to certify sites with certificates issued from that CA.

rssh -- file name disclosure bug rssh 2.2.1

rssh expands command line paramters before invoking chroot. This could result in the disclosure to the client of file names outside of the chroot directory. A posting by the rssh author explains:

The cause of the problem identified by Mr. McCaw is that rssh expanded command-line arguments prior to entering the chroot jail. This bug DOES NOT allow a user to access any of the files outside the jail, but can allow them to discover what files are in a directory which is outside the jail, if their credentials on the server would normally allow them read/execute access in the specified directory.

gnu-radius -- SNMP-related denial-of-service gnu-radius 1.2.94

An iDEFENSE security advisory reports:

Remote exploitation of an input validation error in version 1.2 of GNU radiusd could allow a denial of service.

The vulnerability specifically exists within the asn_decode_string() function defined in snmplib/asn1.c. When a very large unsigned number is supplied, it is possible that an integer overflow will occur in the bounds-checking code. The daemon will then attempt to reference unallocated memory, resulting in an access violation that causes the process to terminate.

cvs -- numerous vulnerabilities cvs+ipv6 1.11.17 FreeBSD 5.25.2.1_10 4.104.10_3 4.94.9_12 4.84.8_25

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in CVS by Stefan Esser, Sebastian Krahmer, and Derek Price.

  • Insufficient input validation while processing "Entry" lines. (CVE-2004-0414)
  • A double-free resulting from erroneous state handling while processing "Argumentx" commands. (CVE-2004-0416)
  • Integer overflow while processing "Max-dotdot" commands. (CVE-2004-0417)
  • Erroneous handling of empty entries handled while processing "Notify" commands. (CVE-2004-0418)
  • A format string bug while processing CVS wrappers.
  • Single-byte buffer underflows while processing configuration files from CVSROOT.
  • Various other integer overflows.

Additionally, iDEFENSE reports an undocumented command-line flag used in debugging does not perform input validation on the given path names.

CVS servers ("cvs server" or :pserver: modes) are affected by these vulnerabilities. They vary in impact but include information disclosure (the iDEFENSE-reported bug), denial-of-service (CVE-2004-0414, CVE-2004-0416, CVE-2004-0417 and other bugs), or possibly arbitrary code execution (CVE-2004-0418). In very special situations where the attacker may somehow influence the contents of CVS configuration files in CVSROOT, additional attacks may be possible.

Mutiple browser frame injection vulnerability kdelibs 3.2.3_3 kdebase 3.2.3_1 linux-opera opera 7.507.52 firefox 0.9 linux-mozilla linux-mozilla-devel mozilla-gtk1 1.7 mozilla 1.7,2 netscape7 7.2

A class of bugs affecting many web browsers in the same way was discovered. A Secunia advisory reports:

The problem is that the browsers don't check if a target frame belongs to a website containing a malicious link, which therefore doesn't prevent one browser window from loading content in a named frame in another window.

Successful exploitation allows a malicious website to load arbitrary content in an arbitrary frame in another browser window owned by e.g. a trusted site.

A KDE Security Advisory reports:

A malicious website could abuse Konqueror to insert its own frames into the page of an otherwise trusted website. As a result the user may unknowingly send confidential information intended for the trusted website to the malicious website.

Secunia has provided a demonstration of the vulnerability at http://secunia.com/multiple_browsers_frame_injection_vulnerability_test/.

isakmpd payload handling denial-of-service vulnerabilities isakmpd 20030903

Numerous errors in isakmpd's input packet validation lead to denial-of-service vulnerabilities. From the Rapid7 advisory:

The ISAKMP packet processing functions in OpenBSD's isakmpd daemon contain multiple payload handling flaws that allow a remote attacker to launch a denial of service attack against the daemon.

Carefully crafted ISAKMP packets will cause the isakmpd daemon to attempt out-of-bounds reads, exhaust available memory, or loop endlessly (consuming 100% of the CPU).

krb5 -- double-free vulnerabilities krb5 1.3.4_1

An advisory published by the MIT Kerberos team says:

The MIT Kerberos 5 implementation's Key Distribution Center (KDC) program contains a double-free vulnerability that potentially allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. Compromise of a KDC host compromises the security of the entire authentication realm served by the KDC. Additionally, double-free vulnerabilities exist in MIT Kerberos 5 library code, making client programs and application servers vulnerable.

Double-free vulnerabilities of this type are not believed to be exploitable for code execution on FreeBSD systems. However, the potential for other ill effects may exist.

tnftpd -- remotely exploitable vulnerability tnftpd 20040810 lukemftpd 0 FreeBSD 4.7

lukemftpd(8) is an enhanced BSD FTP server produced within the NetBSD project. The sources for lukemftpd are shipped with some versions of FreeBSD, however it is not built or installed by default. The build system option WANT_LUKEMFTPD must be set to build and install lukemftpd. [NOTE: An exception is FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, wherein lukemftpd was installed, but not enabled, by default.]

Przemyslaw Frasunek discovered several vulnerabilities in lukemftpd arising from races in the out-of-band signal handling code used to implement the ABOR command. As a result of these races, the internal state of the FTP server may be manipulated in unexpected ways.

A remote attacker may be able to cause FTP commands to be executed with the privileges of the running lukemftpd process. This may be a low-privilege `ftp' user if the `-r' command line option is specified, or it may be superuser privileges if `-r' is *not* specified.

Ruby insecure file permissions in the CGI session management ruby 1.6.8.2004.07.26 1.7.01.8.1.2004.07.23

According to a Debian Security Advisory:

Andres Salomon noticed a problem in the CGI session management of Ruby, an object-oriented scripting language. CGI::Session's FileStore (and presumably PStore [...]) implementations store session information insecurely. They simply create files, ignoring permission issues. This can lead an attacker who has also shell access to the webserver to take over a session.

nss -- exploitable buffer overflow in SSLv2 protocol handler nss 3.9.2

ISS X-Force reports that a remotely exploitable buffer overflow exists in the Netscape Security Services (NSS) library's implementation of SSLv2. From their advisory:

The NSS library contains a flaw in SSLv2 record parsing that may lead to remote compromise. When parsing the first record in an SSLv2 negotiation, the client hello message, the server fails to validate the length of a record field. As a result, it is possible for an attacker to trigger a heap-based overflow of arbitrary length.

Note that the vulnerable NSS library is also present in Mozilla-based browsers. However, it is not believed that browsers are affected, as the vulnerability is present only in code used by SSLv2 *servers*.

kdelibs -- konqueror cross-domain cookie injection kdelibs 3.2.3_3

According to a KDE Security Advisory:

WESTPOINT internet reconnaissance services alerted the KDE security team that the KDE web browser Konqueror allows websites to set cookies for certain country specific secondary top level domains.

Web sites operating under the affected domains can set HTTP cookies in such a way that the Konqueror web browser will send them to all other web sites operating under the same domain. A malicious website can use this as part of a session fixation attack. See e.g. http://www.acros.si/papers/session_fixation.pdf

Affected are all country specific secondary top level domains that use more than 2 characters in the secondary part of the domain name and that use a secondary part other than com, net, mil, org, gov, edu or int. Examples of affected domains are .ltd.uk, .plc.uk and .firm.in

It should be noted that popular domains such as .co.uk, .co.in and .com are NOT affected.

URI handler vulnerabilities in several browsers linux-opera opera 7.50 kdelibs 3.2.2_3

Karol Wiesek and Greg MacManus reported via iDEFENSE that the Opera web browser contains a flaw in the handling of certain URIs. When presented with these URIs, Opera would invoke external commands to process them after some validation. However, if the hostname component of a URI begins with a `-', it may be treated as an option by an external command. This could have undesirable side-effects, from denial-of-service to code execution. The impact is very dependent on local configuration.

After the iDEFENSE advisory was published, the KDE team discovered similar problems in KDE's URI handlers.

An input validation error was discovered in the kadmind code that handles the framing of Kerberos 4 compatibility administration requests. The code assumed that the length given in the framing was always two or more bytes. Smaller lengths will cause kadmind to read an arbitrary amount of data into a minimally-sized buffer on the heap.

A remote attacker may send a specially formatted message to kadmind, causing it to crash or possibly resulting in arbitrary code execution.

The kadmind daemon is part of Kerberos 5 support. However, this bug will only be present if kadmind was built with additional Kerberos 4 support. Thus, only systems that have *both* Heimdal Kerberos 5 and Kerberos 4 installed might be affected.

NOTE: On FreeBSD 4 systems, `kadmind' may be installed as `k5admind'.

CVS path validation errors cvs+ipv6 1.11.5_1 FreeBSD 5.25.2.1_5 4.94.9_5 4.84.8_18

Two programming errors were discovered in which path names handled by CVS were not properly validated. In one case, the CVS client accepts absolute path names from the server when determining which files to update. In another case, the CVS server accepts relative path names from the client when determining which files to transmit, including those containing references to parent directories (`../').

These programming errors generally only have a security impact when dealing with remote CVS repositories.

A malicious CVS server may cause a CVS client to overwrite arbitrary files on the client's system.

A CVS client may request RCS files from a remote system other than those in the repository specified by $CVSROOT. These RCS files need not be part of any CVS repository themselves.

mksnap_ffs clears file system options FreeBSD 5.25.2_1 5.15.1_12

The kernel interface for creating a snapshot of a filesystem is the same as that for changing the flags on that filesystem. Due to an oversight, the mksnap_ffs(8) command called that interface with only the snapshot flag set, causing all other flags to be reset to the default value.

A regularly scheduled backup of a live filesystem, or any other process that uses the mksnap_ffs command (for instance, to provide a rough undelete functionality on a file server), will clear any flags in effect on the filesystem being snapshot. Possible consequences depend on local usage, but can include disabling extended access control lists or enabling the use of setuid executables stored on an untrusted filesystem.

The mksnap_ffs command is normally only available to the superuser and members of the `operator' group. There is therefore no risk of a user gaining elevated privileges directly through use of the mksnap_ffs command unless it has been intentionally made available to unprivileged users.

shmat reference counting bug FreeBSD 5.25.2_2 5.15.1_14 5.05.0_20 4.94.9_2 4.84.8_15 4.7_25

A programming error in the shmat(2) system call can result in a shared memory segment's reference count being erroneously incremented.

It may be possible to cause a shared memory segment to reference unallocated kernel memory, but remain valid. This could allow a local attacker to gain read or write access to a portion of kernel memory, resulting in sensitive information disclosure, bypass of access control mechanisms, or privilege escalation.

jailed processes can attach to other jails FreeBSD 5.15.1_14 5.25.2.1

A programming error has been found in the jail_attach(2) system call which affects the way that system call verifies the privilege level of the calling process. Instead of failing immediately if the calling process was already jailed, the jail_attach system call would fail only after changing the calling process's root directory.

A process with superuser privileges inside a jail could change its root directory to that of a different jail, and thus gain full read and write access to files and directories within the target jail.

many out-of-sequence TCP packets denial-of-service FreeBSD 5.25.2.1_2 5.05.1_15 4.94.9_3 4.84.8_16 4.7_26

FreeBSD does not limit the number of TCP segments that may be held in a reassembly queue. A remote attacker may conduct a low-bandwidth denial-of-service attack against a machine providing services based on TCP (there are many such services, including HTTP, SMTP, and FTP). By sending many out-of-sequence TCP segments, the attacker can cause the target machine to consume all available memory buffers (``mbufs''), likely leading to a system crash.

From the FreeBSD Security Advisory:

A programming error in the handling of some IPv6 socket options within the setsockopt(2) system call may result in memory locations being accessed without proper validation.

It may be possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel memory, resulting in disclosure of sensitive information. A local attacker can cause a system panic.

A programming error in BIND 8 named can result in a DNS message being incorrectly cached as a negative response. As a result, an attacker may arrange for malicious DNS messages to be delivered to a target name server, and cause that name server to cache a negative response for some target domain name. The name server would thereafter respond negatively to legitimate queries for that domain name, resulting in a denial-of-service for applications that require DNS.

When racoon receives an ISAKMP header, it will attempt to allocate sufficient memory for the entire ISAKMP message according to the header's length field. If an attacker crafts an ISAKMP header with a ridiculously large value in the length field, racoon may exceed operating system resource limits and be terminated, resulting in a denial of service.

Several remotely exploitable buffer overflows in gaim gaim ja-gaim ko-gaim ru-gaim 0.75_3 0.75_5 0.76 gaim 20030000

Stefan Esser of e-matters found almost a dozen remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in Gaim. From the e-matters advisory:

While developing a custom add-on, an integer overflow in the handling of AIM DirectIM packets was revealed that could lead to a remote compromise of the IM client. After disclosing this bug to the vendor, they had to make a hurried release because of a change in the Yahoo connection procedure that rendered GAIM useless. Unfourtunately at the same time a closer look onto the sourcecode revealed 11 more vulnerabilities.

The 12 identified problems range from simple standard stack overflows, over heap overflows to an integer overflow that can be abused to cause a heap overflow. Due to the nature of instant messaging many of these bugs require man-in-the-middle attacks between client and server. But the underlying protocols are easy to implement and MIM attacks on ordinary TCP sessions is a fairly simple task.

In combination with the latest kernel vulnerabilities or the habit of users to work as root/administrator these bugs can result in remote root compromises.

libxml2 stack buffer overflow in URI parsing libxml2 2.6.6

Yuuichi Teranishi reported a crash in libxml2's URI handling when a long URL is supplied. The implementation in nanohttp.c and nanoftp.c uses a 4K stack buffer, and longer URLs will overwrite the stack. This could result in denial-of-service or arbitrary code execution in applications using libxml2 to parse documents.

mnGoSearch buffer overflow in UdmDocToTextBuf() mnogosearch 3.2.*3.2.15

Jedi/Sector One <j@pureftpd.org> reported the following on the full-disclosure list:

Every document is stored in multiple parts according to its sections (description, body, etc) in databases. And when the content has to be sent to the client, UdmDocToTextBuf() concatenates those parts together and skips metadata.

Unfortunately, that function lacks bounds checking and a buffer overflow can be triggered by indexing a large enough document.

'len' is fixed to 10K [in UdmDocToTextBuf] in searchd.c . S->val length depends on the length of the original document and on the indexer settings (the sample configuration file has low limits that work around the bug, though).

Exploitation should be easy, moreover textbuf points to the stack.

GNU libtool insecure temporary file handling libtool 1.31.3.5_2 1.41.4.3_3 1.51.5.2

libtool attempts to create a temporary directory in which to write scratch files needed during processing. A malicious user may create a symlink and then manipulate the directory so as to write to files to which she normally has no permissions.

This has been reported as a ``symlink vulnerability'', although I do not think that is an accurate description.

This vulnerability could possibly be used on a multi-user system to gain elevated privileges, e.g. root builds some packages, and another user successfully exploits this vulnerability to write to a system file.

ElGamal sign+encrypt keys created by GnuPG can be compromised gnupg 1.0.21.2.3_4

Any ElGamal sign+encrypt keys created by GnuPG contain a cryptographic weakness that may allow someone to obtain the private key. These keys should be considered unusable and should be revoked.

The following summary was written by Werner Koch, GnuPG author:

Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates and uses ElGamal keys for signing. This is a significant security failure which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys used for signing. Note that this is a real world vulnerability which will reveal your private key within a few seconds.

...

Please take immediate action and revoke your ElGamal signing keys. Furthermore you should take whatever measures necessary to limit the damage done for signed or encrypted documents using that key.

Note that the standard keys as generated by GnuPG (DSA and ElGamal encryption) as well as RSA keys are NOT vulnerable. Note also that ElGamal signing keys cannot be generated without the use of a special flag to enable hidden options and even then overriding a warning message about this key type. See below for details on how to identify vulnerable keys.
