DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2008-11-13 CVE-2008-4989 Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate function in lib/x509/verify.c in libgnutls in GnuTLS before 2.6.1 trusts certificate chains in which the last certificate is an arbitrary trusted, self-signed certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert a spoofed certificate for any Distinguished Name (DN).
5.9
2008-10-15 CVE-2008-4582 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1 through 3.0.3, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13, when running on Windows, do not properly identify the context of Windows .url shortcut files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information via an HTML document that is directly accessible through a filesystem, as demonstrated by documents in (1) local folders, (2) Windows share folders, and (3) RAR archives, and as demonstrated by IFRAMEs referencing shortcuts that point to (a) about:cache?device=memory and (b) about:cache?device=disk, a variant of CVE-2008-2810.
4.3
2008-09-29 CVE-2008-4302 Improper Locking vulnerability in multiple products
fs/splice.c in the splice subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.2 does not properly handle a failure of the add_to_page_cache_lru function, and subsequently attempts to unlock a page that was not locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel BUG and system crash), as demonstrated by the fio I/O tool.

2008-09-24 CVE-2008-4067 Path Traversal vulnerability in multiple products
Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.17 and 3.x before 3.0.2, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.17, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.12 on Linux allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ..
4.3
2008-09-24 CVE-2008-4065 Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in multiple products
Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.17 and 3.x before 3.0.2, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.17, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.12 allow remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) protection mechanisms and conduct XSS attacks via byte order mark (BOM) characters that are removed from JavaScript code before execution, aka "Stripped BOM characters bug."
4.3
2008-09-18 CVE-2008-4098 Link Following vulnerability in multiple products
MySQL before 5.0.67 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 originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory.

2008-09-11 CVE-2008-3913 Memory Leak vulnerability in multiple products
Multiple memory leaks in freshclam/manager.c in ClamAV before 0.94 might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via unspecified vectors related to "error handling logic".

5.0
2008-09-11 CVE-2008-3912 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products
libclamav in ClamAV before 0.94 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors related to an out-of-memory condition.

5.0
2008-09-04 CVE-2007-6716 fs/direct-io.c in the dio subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23 does not properly zero out the dio struct, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS), as demonstrated by a certain fio test.

5.5
2008-08-27 CVE-2008-3281 XML Entity Expansion vulnerability in multiple products
libxml2 2.6.32 and earlier does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion in an attribute value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document.
