DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2006-10-28 CVE-2006-4574 Reachable Assertion vulnerability in Wireshark 0.10.1/0.99.2/0.99.3
Off-by-one error in the MIME Multipart dissector in Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.10.1 through 0.99.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain vectors that trigger an assertion error related to unexpected length values.

2006-10-17 CVE-2006-4342 Improper Locking vulnerability in Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0
The kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by running the shmat function on an shm at the same time that shmctl is removing that shm (IPC_RMID), which prevents a spinlock from being unlocked.

2006-10-10 CVE-2006-4997 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
The clip_mkip function in net/atm/clip.c of the ATM subsystem in Linux kernel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (freed pointer dereference).

2006-10-05 CVE-2006-5158 Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products
The nlmclnt_mark_reclaim in clntlock.c in NFS lockd in Linux kernel before 2.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) and deny access to NFS exports via unspecified vectors that trigger a kernel oops (null dereference) and a deadlock.

2006-09-27 CVE-2006-5051 Double Free vulnerability in multiple products
Signal handler race condition in OpenSSH before 4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code if GSSAPI authentication is enabled, via unspecified vectors that lead to a double-free.

2006-09-06 CVE-2006-4095 Reachable Assertion vulnerability in multiple products
BIND before 9.2.6-P1 and 9.3.x before 9.3.2-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain SIG queries, which cause an assertion failure when multiple RRsets are returned.

2006-08-29 CVE-2006-4434 Use After Free vulnerability in Sendmail
Use-after-free vulnerability in Sendmail before 8.13.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long "header line", which causes a previously freed variable to be referenced.

2006-06-15 CVE-2006-2916 Improper Check for Dropped Privileges vulnerability in KDE Arts 1.0/1.2
artswrapper in aRts, when running setuid root on Linux 2.6.0 or later versions, does not check the return value of the setuid function call, which allows local users to gain root privileges by causing setuid to fail, which prevents artsd from dropping privileges.

2006-06-13 CVE-2006-2374 Improper Locking vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP
The Server Message Block (SMB) driver (MRXSMB.SYS) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) by calling the MrxSmbCscIoctlCloseForCopyChunk with the file handle of the shadow device, which results in a deadlock, aka the "SMB Invalid Handle Vulnerability."

2006-05-20 CVE-2006-2492 Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Office and Works Suite
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Word in Office 2000 SP3, Office XP SP3, Office 2003 Sp1 and SP2, and Microsoft Works Suites through 2006, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed object pointer, as originally reported by ISC on 20060519 for a zero-day attack.
