DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2007-07-27 CVE-2007-3532 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Nvidia Video Driver
NVIDIA drivers (nvidia-drivers) before 1.0.7185, 1.0.9639, and 100.14.11, as used in Gentoo Linux and possibly other distributions, creates /dev/nvidia* device files with insecure permissions, which allows local users to modify video card settings, cause a denial of service (crash or physical video card damage), and obtain sensitive information.

2007-07-25 CVE-2007-3531 Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Gentoo Nvclock 0.7
The set_default_speeds function in backend/backend.c in NVidia NVClock before 0.8b2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/nvclock temporary file.

2007-04-24 CVE-2007-2173 Unspecified vulnerability in Double Precision Incorporated Courier-Imap
Eval injection vulnerability in (1) courier-imapd.indirect and (2) courier-pop3d.indirect in Courier-IMAP before 4.0.6-r2, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2-r1, on Gentoo Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the XMAILDIR variable, related to the LOGINRUN variable.

2007-04-18 CVE-2007-1856 Local Denial of Service vulnerability in Vixie Cron ST_Nlink Check
Vixie Cron before 4.1-r10 on Gentoo Linux is installed with insecure permissions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (cron failure) by creating hard links, which results in a failed st_nlink check in database.c.

2007-03-02 CVE-2006-7094 Remote Security vulnerability in Ftpd
ftpd, as used by Gentoo and Debian Linux, sets the gid to the effective uid instead of the effective group id before executing /bin/ls, which allows remote authenticated users to list arbitrary directories with the privileges of gid 0 and possibly enable additional attack vectors.

2007-02-21 CVE-2007-1049 Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Wordpress
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the wp_explain_nonce function in the nonce AYS functionality (wp-includes/functions.php) for WordPress 2.0 before 2.0.9 and 2.1 before 2.1.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the file parameter to wp-admin/templates.php, and possibly other vectors involving the action variable.

2007-01-25 CVE-2007-0476 Unspecified vulnerability in Gentoo Linux 2.1.30/2.2.28/2.3.30
The gencert.sh script, when installing OpenLDAP before 2.1.30-r10, 2.2.x before 2.2.28-r7, and 2.3.x before 2.3.30-r2 as an ebuild in Gentoo Linux, does not create temporary directories in /tmp securely during emerge, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

2006-06-13 CVE-2006-3005 Denial-Of-Service vulnerability in Gentoo Linux and Media-Libs Jpeg
The JPEG library in media-libs/jpeg before 6b-r7 on Gentoo Linux is built without the -maxmem feature, which could allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted JPEG file that exceeds the intended memory limits.
