Weekly Vulnerabilities Reports > June 30 to July 6, 2003

Vignette StoryServer 4 and 5, and Vignette V/5 and V/6, with the SSI EXEC feature enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a text variable to a Vignette Application that is later displayed.

Buffer overflow in FastTrack (FT) network code, as used in Kazaa 2.0.2 and possibly other versions and products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet containing a large list of supernodes, aka "Packet 0' death."

objects.inc.php4 in BLNews 2.1.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a Server[path] parameter that points to malicious code on an attacker-controlled web site.

Format string vulnerability in Magic WinMail Server 2.3, and possibly other 2.x versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the PASS command.

OpenSSH 3.6.1 and earlier, when restricting host access by numeric IP addresses and with VerifyReverseMapping disabled, allows remote attackers to bypass "from=" and "user@host" address restrictions by connecting to a host from a system whose reverse DNS hostname contains the numeric IP address.

Buffer overflow in atftp daemon (atftpd) 0.6.1 and earlier, and possibly later versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long filename.

Sun ONE Application Server 7.0 for Windows 2000/XP allows remote attackers to obtain JSP source code via a request that uses the uppercase ".JSP" extension instead of the lowercase .jsp extension.

Vignette StoryServer 5 and Vignette V/5 allows remote attackers to read and modify license information, and cause a denial of service (service halt) by directly accessing the /vgn/license template.

Buffer overflow in the nss_ldap.so.1 library for Sun Solaris 8 and 9 may allow local users to gain root access via a long hostname in an LDAP lookup.

Buffer overflow in xaos 3.0-23 and earlier, when running setuid, allows local users to gain root privileges via a long -language option.

The installation of Sun ONE Application Server 7.0 for Windows 2000/XP creates a statefile with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges by reading a plaintext password in the statefile.

Buffer overflow in Uptime Client (UpClient) 5.0b7, and possibly other versions, allows local users to gain privileges via a long -p argument.

PalmVNC 1.40 and earlier stores passwords in plaintext in the PalmVNCDB, which is backed up to PCs that the Palm is synchronized with, which could allow attackers to gain privileges.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in index.cgi for Bandmin 1.4 allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary HTML or script via (1) the year parameter in a showmonth action, (2) the month parameter in a showmonth action, or (3) the host parameter in a showhost action.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the webapps-simple sample application for (1) Sun ONE Application Server 7.0 for Windows 2000/XP or (2) Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary web script or HTML via an HTTP request that generates an "Invalid JSP file" error, which inserts the text in the resulting error message.

Vignette StoryServer 4 and 5, Vignette V/5, and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized SELECT queries by setting the vgn_creds cookie to an arbitrary value and directly accessing the save template.

Directory traversal vulnerability in ST FTP Service 3.0 allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories via a CD command with a DoS drive letter argument (e.g.

Privacyware Privatefirewall 3.0 does not block certain incoming packets when in "Filter Internet Traffic" or Deny Internet Traffic" modes, which allows remote attackers to identify running services via FIN scans or Xmas scans.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Son hServer 0.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via ".|." (modified dot-dot) sequences.

Remote PC Access Server 2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by receiving packets from the server and sending them back to the server.

Sun ONE Application Server 7.0 for Windows 2000/XP does not log the complete URI of a long HTTP request, which could allow remote attackers to hide malicious activities.

Vignette StoryServer 5 and Vignette V/6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary TCL code via (1) an HTTP query or cookie which is processed in the NEEDS command, or (2) an HTTP Referrer that is processed in the VALID_PATHS command.

The default login template (/vgn/login) in Vignette StoryServer 5 and Vignette V/5 generates different responses whether a user exists or not, which allows remote attackers to identify valid usernames via brute force attacks.

Vignette StoryServer and Vignette V/5 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a request for the /vgn/style template.

Vignette StoryServer and Vignette V/5 does not properly calculate the size of text variables, which causes Vignette to return unauthorized portions of memory, as demonstrated using the "-->" string in a CookieName argument to the login template, referred to as a "memory leak" in some reports.

Buffer overflow in les for ATM on Linux (linux-atm) before 2.4.1, if used setuid, allows local users to gain privileges via a long -f command line argument.

Multiple buffer overflows in Options Parsing Tool (OPT) shared library 3.18 and earlier, when used in setuid programs, may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line options that are fed into macros such as opt_warn_2, as used in functions such as opt_atoi.

Buffer overflow in Eterm 0.9.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a long ETERMPATH environment variable.

Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Vignette StoryServer 4 and 5, and Vignette V/5 and V/6, allow remote attackers to insert arbitrary HTML and script via text variables, as demonstrated using the errInfo parameter of the default login template.

znew in the gzip package allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
