| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-02-18 | CVE-2015-7547 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module. | 8.1 |
| 2016-01-20 | CVE-2015-8777 | 7PK - Security Features vulnerability in GNU Glibc The process_envvars function in elf/rtld.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows local users to bypass a pointer-guarding protection mechanism via a zero value of the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable. | 5.5 |
| 2014-09-25 | CVE-2014-7169 | OS Command Injection vulnerability in multiple products GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. | 9.8 |
| 2014-09-24 | CVE-2014-6271 | OS Command Injection vulnerability in multiple products GNU Bash through 4.3 processes trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution, aka "ShellShock." NOTE: the original fix for this issue was incorrect; CVE-2014-7169 has been assigned to cover the vulnerability that is still present after the incorrect fix. | 9.8 |
| 2011-06-30 | CVE-2009-5078 | 7PK - Security Features vulnerability in multiple products contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.sh in GNU troff (aka groff) before 1.21 launches the Ghostscript program without the -dSAFER option, which allows remote attackers to create, overwrite, rename, or delete arbitrary files via a crafted document. | 6.5 |
| 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 |
| 2005-05-02 | CVE-2005-1111 | Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products Race condition in cpio 2.6 and earlier allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by cpio after the decompression is complete. | 4.7 |
