Weekly Vulnerabilities Reports > October 28 to November 3, 2002

Avaya Cajun switches P880, P882, P580, and P550R 5.2.14 and earlier contain undocumented accounts (1) manuf and (2) diag with default passwords, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges.

PAM 0.76 treats a disabled password as if it were an empty (null) password, which allows local and remote attackers to gain privileges as disabled users.

Buffer overflow in DSC 3.0 parser from GSview, as used in KGhostView in KDE 1.1 and KDE 3.0.3a, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a modified .ps (PostScript) input file.

Cross-Frame scripting vulnerability in the WebBrowser control as used in Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, read arbitrary files, or conduct other unauthorized activities via script that accesses the Document property, which bypasses <frame> and <iframe> domain restrictions.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft PPTP Service on Windows XP and Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a certain PPTP packet with malformed control data.

Unknown vulnerability in routed for HP Tru64 UNIX V4.0F through V5.1A allows local and remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

Balabit Syslog-NG 1.4.x before 1.4.15, and 1.5.x before 1.5.20, when using template filenames or output, does not properly track the size of a buffer when constant characters are encountered during macro expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Bugzilla 2.16.x before 2.16.1 does not properly filter apostrophes from an email address during account creation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL via a SQL injection attack.

bugzilla_email_append.pl in Bugzilla 2.14.x before 2.14.4, and 2.16.x before 2.16.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in a system call to processmail.

editproducts.cgi in Bugzilla 2.14.x before 2.14.4, and 2.16.x before 2.16.1, when the "usebuggroups" feature is enabled and more than 47 groups are specified, does not properly calculate bit values for large numbers, which grants extra permissions to users via known features of Perl math that set multiple bits.

Buffer overflow in talkd on NetBSD 1.6 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long inbound message.

Cisco Unity 2.x and 3.x uses well-known default user accounts, which could allow remote attackers to gain access and place arbitrary calls.

Buffer overflow in the S/MIME Parsing capability in Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a digitally signed email with a long "From" address, which triggers the overflow when the user views or previews the message.

The Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) packages (1) SUNWwbdoc, (2) SUNWwbcou, (3) SUNWwbdev and (4) SUNWmgapp packages, when installed using Solaris 8 Update 1/01 or later, install files with world or group write permissions, which allows local users to gain root privileges or cause a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in the embedded HTTP server for Cisco Catalyst switches running CatOS 5.4 through 7.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset) via a long HTTP request.

Unknown vulnerability in NFS on Solaris 2.5.1 through Solaris 9 allows an NFS client to cause a denial of service by killing the lockd daemon.

Directory traversal vulnerability in kpf for KDE 3.0.1 through KDE 3.0.3a allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files as the kpf user via a URL with a modified icon parameter.

GNU tar 1.13.19 and other versions before 1.13.25 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack, as the result of a modification that effectively disabled the security check.

Directory traversal vulnerability in RadioBird Software WebServer 4 Everyone 1.23 and 1.27, and other versions before 1.30, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an HTTP request with ".." (dot-dot) sequences containing URL-encoded forward slash ("%2F") characters.

Buffer overflow in RadioBird Software WebServer 4 Everyone 1.23 and 1.27, and other versions before 1.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long HTTP GET request.

IBM SecureWay Firewall before 4.2.2 performs extra processing before determining that a packet is invalid and dropping it, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a flood of malformed TCP packets without any flags set.

IBM AIX 4.3.3 and AIX 5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via a flood of malformed TCP packets without any flags set, which prevents AIX from releasing the associated memory buffers.

The getdbm procedure in ypxfrd allows local users to read arbitrary files, and remote attackers to read databases outside /var/yp, via a directory traversal and symlink attack on the domain and map arguments.

The Sabserv client component in Sabre Desktop Reservation Software 4.2 through 4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed input to TCP port 1001.

TNS Listener in Oracle Net Services for Oracle 9i 9.2.x and 9.0.x, and Oracle 8i 8.1.x, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang or crash) via a SERVICE_CURLOAD command.

The web proxy component in Symantec Enterprise Firewall (SEF) 6.5.2 through 7.0, Raptor Firewall 6.5 and 6.5.3, VelociRaptor, and Symantec Gateway Security allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection resource exhaustion) via multiple connection requests to domains whose DNS server is unresponsive or does not exist, which generates a long timeout.

Multiple buffer overflows in rogue on NetBSD 1.6 and earlier, FreeBSD 4.6, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain "games" group privileges via malformed entries in a game save file.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in the PHP interface for ht://Check 1.1 allows remote web servers to insert arbitrary HTML, including script, via a web page.

tkmail before 4.0beta9-8.1 allows local users to create or overwrite files as users via a symlink attack on temporary files.
