2011-05-03 CVE-2011-1842 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Ubuntu Language-Selector
dbus_backend/lsd.py in the D-Bus backend in language-selector before 0.6.7 does not validate the arguments to the (1) SetSystemDefaultLangEnv and (2) SetSystemDefaultLanguageEnv functions, which allows local users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in a string argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0729.

2011-04-29 CVE-2011-0729 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Ubuntu Language-Selector
dbus_backend/ls-dbus-backend in the D-Bus backend in language-selector before 0.6.7 does not restrict access on the basis of a PolicyKit check result, which allows local users to modify the /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment files via a (1) SetSystemDefaultLangEnv or (2) SetSystemDefaultLanguageEnv call.

2008-11-17 CVE-2008-5104 Credentials Management vulnerability in Dcgrendel Vmbuilder 0.9
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.10, 8.04 LTS, and 8.10, when installed as a virtual machine by (1) python-vm-builder or (2) ubuntu-vm-builder in VMBuilder 0.9 in Ubuntu 8.10, have ! (exclamation point) as the default root password, which allows attackers to bypass intended login restrictions.

2008-11-17 CVE-2008-5103 Credentials Management vulnerability in Dcgrendel Vmbuilder 0.9
The (1) python-vm-builder and (2) ubuntu-vm-builder implementations in VMBuilder 0.9 in Ubuntu 8.10 omit the -e option when invoking chpasswd with a root:! argument, which configures the root account with a cleartext password of ! (exclamation point) and allows attackers to bypass intended login restrictions.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the cons_options function in options.c in dhcpd in OpenBSD 4.0 through 4.2, and some other dhcpd implementations based on ISC dhcp-2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than the minimum IP MTU.
