DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2008-05-05 CVE-2008-0599 Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size vulnerability in multiple products
The init_request_info function in sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in PHP before 5.2.6 does not properly consider operator precedence when calculating the length of PATH_TRANSLATED, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI.

2008-05-05 CVE-2008-2079 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
MySQL 4.1.x before 4.1.24, 5.0.x before 5.0.60, 5.1.x before 5.1.24, and 6.0.x before 6.0.5 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are within the MySQL home data directory, which can point to tables that are created in the future.

2008-05-02 CVE-2008-1375 Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products
Race condition in the directory notification subsystem (dnotify) in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.24.6, and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.1, allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
6.9
2008-04-18 CVE-2008-1887 Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in multiple products
Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors that cause a negative size value to be provided to the PyString_FromStringAndSize function, which allocates less memory than expected when assert() is disabled and triggers a buffer overflow.

9.3
2008-04-10 CVE-2008-1721 Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types vulnerability in multiple products
Integer signedness error in the zlib extension module in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative signed integer, which triggers insufficient memory allocation and a buffer overflow.

7.5
2007-11-02 CVE-2007-4829 Path Traversal vulnerability in multiple products
Directory traversal vulnerability in the Archive::Tar Perl module 1.36 and earlier allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a TAR archive that contains a file whose name is an absolute path or has ".." sequences.
