DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2014-05-08 CVE-2014-3424 Link Following vulnerability in multiple products
lisp/net/tramp-sh.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/tramp.##### temporary file.
3.3
2014-05-08 CVE-2014-3423 Link Following vulnerability in multiple products
lisp/net/browse-url.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/Mosaic.##### temporary file.
3.3
2014-05-08 CVE-2014-3422 Link Following vulnerability in multiple products
lisp/emacs-lisp/find-gc.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file under /tmp/esrc/.
3.3
2014-05-08 CVE-2014-3421 Link Following vulnerability in multiple products
lisp/gnus/gnus-fun.el in GNU Emacs 24.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/gnus.face.ppm temporary file.
3.3
2014-04-05 CVE-2001-1593 Link Following vulnerability in GNU A2Ps
The tempname_ensure function in lib/routines.h in a2ps 4.14 and earlier, as used by the spy_user function and possibly other functions, allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

2.1
2014-04-03 CVE-2014-0466 Arbitrary Command Execution vulnerability in GNU A2Ps 4.14
The fixps script in a2ps 4.14 does not use the -dSAFER option when executing gs, which allows context-dependent attackers to delete arbitrary files or execute arbitrary commands via a crafted PostScript file.

2014-03-07 CVE-2014-1959 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in GNU Gnutls
lib/x509/verify.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.21 and 3.2.x before 3.2.11 treats version 1 X.509 certificates as intermediate CAs, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions by leveraging a X.509 V1 certificate from a trusted CA to issue new certificates.
network
gnu CWE-264
5.8
2014-03-07 CVE-2014-0092 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in GNU Gnutls
lib/x509/verify.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.22 and 3.2.x before 3.2.12 does not properly handle unspecified errors when verifying X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.
network
gnu CWE-310
5.8
2014-03-07 CVE-2009-5138 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in GNU Gnutls
GnuTLS before 2.7.6, when the GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT flag is not enabled, treats version 1 X.509 certificates as intermediate CAs, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions by leveraging a X.509 V1 certificate from a trusted CA to issue new certificates, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1959.

2014-02-10 CVE-2012-3406 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in GNU C Library (aka glibc) 2.5, 2.12, and probably other versions does not "properly restrict the use of" the alloca function when allocating the SPECS array, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string protection mechanism and cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted format string using positional parameters and a large number of format specifiers, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-3404 and CVE-2012-3405.
