Buffer overflow in the DoCommand function in jhead before 2.84 might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) (CVE-2008-4575). Jhead before 2.84 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file (CVE-2008-4639). Jhead 2.84 and earlier allows local users to delete arbitrary files via vectors involving a modified input filename (CVE-2008-4640). jhead 2.84 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in unspecified input (CVE-2008-4641). This update provides the latest Jhead to correct these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 37496 published 2009-04-23 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/37496 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : jhead (MDVSA-2009:041) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200901-02.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200901-02 (JHead: Multiple vulnerabilities) Marc Merlin and John Dong reported multiple vulnerabilities in JHead: A buffer overflow in the DoCommand() function when processing the cmd argument and related to potential string overflows (CVE-2008-4575). An insecure creation of a temporary file (CVE-2008-4639). A error when unlinking a file (CVE-2008-4640). Insufficient escaping of shell metacharacters (CVE-2008-4641). Impact : A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code by enticing a user or automated system to open a file with a long filename or via unspecified vectors. It is also possible to trick a user into deleting or overwriting files. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 35346 published 2009-01-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/35346 title GLSA-200901-02 : JHead: Multiple vulnerabilities
