DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2006-07-31 CVE-2006-3942 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP
The server driver (srv.sys) in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SMB_COM_TRANSACTION SMB message that contains a string without null character termination, which leads to a NULL dereference in the ExecuteTransaction function, possibly related to an "SMB PIPE," aka the "Mailslot DOS" vulnerability.

2006-07-07 CVE-2006-3423 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Webex Communications Downloader Activexcontrol and Downloader Java
WebEx Downloader ActiveX Control and WebEx Downloader Java before 2.1.0.0 do not validate downloaded components, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a website that activates the GpcUrlRoot and GpcIniFileName ActiveX controls to cause the client to download a DLL file.

2006-06-28 CVE-2006-3281 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 does not properly handle Drag and Drop events, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a link to an SMB file share with a filename that contains encoded ..\ (%2e%2e%5c) sequences and whose extension contains the CLSID Key identifier for HTML Applications (HTA), aka "Folder GUID Code Execution Vulnerability." NOTE: directory traversal sequences were used in the original exploit, although their role is not clear.

2006-06-07 CVE-2006-2894 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4, 2.0.x before 2.0.0.8, Mozilla Suite 1.7.13, Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0.2 and other versions before 1.1.5, and Netscape 8.1 and earlier allow user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files by tricking a user into typing the characters of the target filename in a text box and using the OnKeyDown, OnKeyPress, and OnKeyUp Javascript keystroke events to change the focus and cause those characters to be inserted into a file upload input control, which can then upload the file when the user submits the form.

2006-06-02 CVE-2006-2782 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox and Seamonkey
Firefox 1.5.0.2 does not fix all test cases associated with CVE-2006-1729, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by inserting the target filename into a text box, then turning that box into a file upload control.

2006-05-22 CVE-2006-1858 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
SCTP in Linux kernel before 2.6.16.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a chunk length that is inconsistent with the actual length of provided parameters.

2006-05-05 CVE-2006-2223 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Quagga 0.98.5/0.99.3
RIPd in Quagga 0.98 and 0.99 before 20060503 does not properly implement configurations that (1) disable RIPv1 or (2) require plaintext or MD5 authentication, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (routing state) via REQUEST packets such as SEND UPDATE.

2006-04-18 CVE-2006-0744 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Linux Kernel
Linux kernel before 2.6.16.5 does not properly handle uncanonical return addresses on Intel EM64T CPUs, which reports an exception in the SYSRET instead of the next instruction, which causes the kernel exception handler to run on the user stack with the wrong GS.
