| DATE | CVE | VULNERABILITY TITLE | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | 7.2 |
| 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. | 7.2 |
| 2007-10-11 | CVE-2007-5365 | Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products 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. | 7.2 |
| 2007-04-06 | CVE-2007-1351 | Numeric Errors vulnerability in multiple products Integer overflow in the bdfReadCharacters function in bdfread.c in (1) X.Org libXfont before 20070403 and (2) freetype 2.3.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via crafted BDF fonts, which result in a heap overflow. | 8.5 |
| 2007-02-23 | CVE-2006-5877 | Denial Of Service vulnerability in Enigmail Memory Allocation The enigmail extension before 0.94.2 does not properly handle large, encrypted file e-mail attachments, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), as demonstrated with Mozilla Thunderbird. | 7.8 |
| 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. | 7.2 |
| 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. | 7.2 |
| 2006-03-13 | CVE-2006-1183 | Local Installation Password Disclosure vulnerability in Ubuntu Linux 5.10 The Ubuntu 5.10 installer does not properly clear passwords from the installer log file (questions.dat), and leaves the log file with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges. | 7.2 |
| 2006-01-09 | CVE-2006-0151 | sudo 1.6.8 and other versions does not clear the PYTHONINSPECT environment variable, which allows limited local users to gain privileges via a Python script, a variant of CVE-2005-4158. | 7.2 |
| 2005-04-27 | CVE-2005-0206 | Integer Overflow vulnerability in Xpdf PDFTOPS The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities. | 7.5 |
