2006-07-18 CVE-2006-3597 Local Security vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux 6.06Lts
passwd before 1:4.0.13 on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS leaves the root password blank instead of locking it when the administrator selects the "Go Back" option after the final "Installation complete" message and uses the main menu, which causes the password to be zeroed out in the installer's memory.

2006-07-06 CVE-2006-3378 Privilege Escalation vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux 5.04/5.10/6.06Lts
passwd command in shadow in Ubuntu 5.04 through 6.06 LTS, when called with the -f, -g, or -s flag, does not check the return code of a setuid call, which might allow local users to gain root privileges if setuid fails in cases such as PAM failures or resource limits.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-3626 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products
Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference.

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-3625 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products
Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via streams that end prematurely, as demonstrated using the (1) CCITTFaxDecode and (2) DCTDecode streams, aka "Infinite CPU spins."

2005-12-31 CVE-2005-3624 Numeric Errors vulnerability in multiple products
The CCITTFaxStream::CCITTFaxStream function in Stream.cc for xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others allows attackers to corrupt the heap via negative or large integers in a CCITTFaxDecode stream, which lead to integer overflows and integer underflows.

2005-05-03 CVE-2005-0106 Unspecified vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux 5.04
SSLeay.pm in libnet-ssleay-perl before 1.25 uses the /tmp/entropy file for entropy if a source is not set in the EGD_PATH variable, which allows local users to reduce the cryptographic strength of certain operations by modifying the file.
