NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_11_KRB5-100401.NASL description Authenticated users could crash the kadmind process by referencing freed memory (CVE-2010-0629). This has been fixed. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 50926 published 2010-12-02 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/50926 title SuSE 11 Security Update : krb5 (SAT Patch Number 2235) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2010-0343.NASL description Updated krb5 packages that fix one security issue and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other using symmetric encryption and a trusted third party, the Key Distribution Center (KDC). A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the MIT Kerberos administration daemon, kadmind. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the kadmind daemon. Administrative privileges are not required to trigger this flaw, as any realm user can request information about their own principal from kadmind. (CVE-2010-0629) This update also fixes the following bug : * when a Kerberos client seeks tickets for use with a service, it must contact the Key Distribution Center (KDC) to obtain them. The client must also determine which realm the service belongs to and it typically does this with a combination of client configuration detail, DNS information and guesswork. If the service belongs to a realm other than the client last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 46754 published 2010-06-01 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/46754 title CentOS 5 : krb5 (CESA-2010:0343) NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRIVA_MDVSA-2010-071.NASL description Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in mozilla-thunderbird : Mozilla Thunderbird before 2.0.0.24 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.19 process e-mail attachments with a parser that performs casts and line termination incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted message, related to message indexing (CVE-2009-0689). Integer overflow in a base64 decoding function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 and Thunderbird allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors (CVE-2009-2463). Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14, and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (CVE-2009-3072). Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (CVE-2009-3075). Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14, and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, does not properly manage pointers for the columns (aka TreeColumns) of a XUL tree element, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, related to a dangling pointer vulnerability. (CVE-2009-3077) Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0, does not properly handle a right-to-left override (aka RLO or U+202E) Unicode character in a download filename, which allows remote attackers to spoof file extensions via a crafted filename, as demonstrated by displaying a non-executable extension for an executable file (CVE-2009-3376). Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.16 and 3.5.x before 3.5.6, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.1, allows remote attackers to send authenticated requests to arbitrary applications by replaying the NTLM credentials of a browser user (CVE-2009-3983). Mozilla Thunderbird before 2.0.0.24 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.19 process e-mail attachments with a parser that performs casts and line termination incorrectly, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted message, related to message indexing (CVE-2010-0163). This update provides the latest version of Thunderbird which are not vulnerable to these issues. Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program for those products. Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and are being provided as updates. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 45521 published 2010-04-14 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2010-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/45521 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : mozilla-thunderbird (MDVSA-2010:071) NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-924-1.NASL description Sol Jerome discovered that the Kerberos kadmind service did not correctly free memory. An unauthenticated remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the kadmind process, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-0629) It was discovered that Kerberos did not correctly free memory in the GSSAPI library. If a remote attacker were able to manipulate an application using GSSAPI carefully, the service could crash, leading to a denial of service. (Ubuntu 8.10 was not affected.) (CVE-2007-5901, CVE-2007-5971) It was discovered that Kerberos did not correctly free memory in the GSSAPI and kdb libraries. If a remote attacker were able to manipulate an application using these libraries carefully, the service could crash, leading to a denial of service. (Only Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was affected.)
