DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2010-03-15 CVE-2010-0624 Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Cpio and TAR
Heap-based buffer overflow in the rmt_read__ function in lib/rtapelib.c in the rmt client functionality in GNU tar before 1.23 and GNU cpio before 2.11 allows remote rmt servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code by sending more data than was requested, related to archive filenames that contain a : (colon) character.

gnu CWE-119
6.8
2010-01-29 CVE-2009-2624 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in GNU Gzip
The huft_build function in inflate.c in gzip before 1.3.13 creates a hufts (aka huffman) table that is too small, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or infinite loop) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted archive.

2010-01-14 CVE-2010-0015 Credentials Management vulnerability in GNU Glibc 2.10.2/2.7
nis/nss_nis/nis-pwd.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.7 and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) 2.10.2 adds information from the passwd.adjunct.byname map to entries in the passwd map, which allows remote attackers to obtain the encrypted passwords of NIS accounts by calling the getpwnam function.

2010-01-14 CVE-2010-0002 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in GNU Bash
The /etc/profile.d/60alias.sh script in the Mandriva bash package for Bash 2.05b, 3.0, 3.2, 3.2.48, and 4.0 enables the --show-control-chars option in LS_OPTIONS, which allows local users to send escape sequences to terminal emulators, or hide the existence of a file, via a crafted filename.

2.1
2009-12-20 CVE-2009-4029 Race Condition vulnerability in GNU Automake 1.10.3/1.11.1/Branch
The (1) dist or (2) distcheck rules in GNU Automake 1.11.1, 1.10.3, and release branches branch-1-4 through branch-1-9, when producing a distribution tarball for a package that uses Automake, assign insecure permissions (777) to directories in the build tree, which introduces a race condition that allows local users to modify the contents of package files, introduce Trojan horse programs, or conduct other attacks before the build is complete.

gnu CWE-362
4.4
2009-11-29 CVE-2009-3736 Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability in GNU Libtool 'libltdl' Library Search Path
ltdl.c in libltdl in GNU Libtool 1.5.x, and 2.2.6 before 2.2.6b, as used in Ham Radio Control Libraries, Q, and possibly other products, attempts to open a .la file in the current working directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.

2009-09-30 CVE-2009-3490 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in GNU Wget
GNU Wget before 1.12 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Common Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle remote attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.

2009-08-12 CVE-2009-2730 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in GNU Gnutls
libgnutls in GnuTLS before 2.8.2 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the subject's (1) Common Name (CN) or (2) Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.

7.5
2009-06-16 CVE-2009-1390 Improper Authentication vulnerability in Mutt 1.5.19
Mutt 1.5.19, when linked against (1) OpenSSL (mutt_ssl.c) or (2) GnuTLS (mutt_ssl_gnutls.c), allows connections when only one TLS certificate in the chain is accepted instead of verifying the entire chain, which allows remote attackers to spoof trusted servers via a man-in-the-middle attack.
6.8
2009-04-30 CVE-2009-1417 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in GNU Gnutls
gnutls-cli in GnuTLS before 2.6.6 does not verify the activation and expiration times of X.509 certificates, which allows remote attackers to successfully present a certificate that is (1) not yet valid or (2) no longer valid, related to lack of time checks in the _gnutls_x509_verify_certificate function in lib/x509/verify.c in libgnutls_x509, as used by (a) Exim, (b) OpenLDAP, and (c) libsoup.
