Weekly Vulnerabilities Reports > January 5 to 11, 2004

Cisco PIX firewall 5.x.x, and 6.3.1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via an SNMPv3 message when snmp-server is set.

The Q.931 dissector in Ethereal before 0.10.0, and Tethereal, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed Q.931, which triggers a null dereference.

xchat 2.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a passive DCC request with an invalid ID number, which causes a null dereference.

Buffer overflow in the Microsoft Message Queue Manager (MSQM) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (RPC service crash) via a queue registration request.

Cisco Unity on IBM servers is shipped with default settings that should have been disabled by the manufacturer, which allows local or remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via (1) a "bubba" local user account, (2) an open TCP port 34571, or (3) when a local DHCP server is unavailable, a DHCP server on the manufacturer's test network.

Buffer overflow in the authentication module for Cisco ACNS 4.x before 4.2.11, and 5.x before 5.0.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long password.

Format string vulnerability in gpgkeys_hkp (experimental HKP interface) for the GnuPG (gpg) client 1.2.3 and earlier, and 1.3.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers or a malicious keyserver to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code during key retrieval.

Buffer overflows in (1) try_netscape_proxy and (2) try_squid_eplf for lftp 2.6.9 and earlier allow remote HTTP servers to execute arbitrary code via long directory names that are processed by the ls or rels commands.

Unknown multiple vulnerabilities in (1) lpstat and (2) the libprint library in Solaris 2.6 through 9 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or read or write arbitrary files.

FreeScripts VisitorBook LE (visitorbook.pl) logs the reverse DNS name of a visiting host, which allows remote attackers to spoof the origin of their incoming requests and facilitate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The format_send_to_gui function in formats.c for irssi before 0.8.9 allows remote IRC users to cause a denial of service (crash).

Macromedia Flash Player before 7,0,19,0 stores a Flash data file in a predictable location that is accessible to web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Opera, which allows remote attackers to read restricted files via vulnerabilities in web browsers whose exploits rely on predictable names.

Cisco PIX firewall 6.2.x through 6.2.3, when configured as a VPN Client, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (dropped IPSec tunnel connection) via an IKE Phase I negotiation request to the outside interface of the firewall.

Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 series devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via an SNMPv3 message when snmp-server is set.

Buffer overflow in the Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) in Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 series devices allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash and reload) via HTTP auth requests for (1) TACACS+ or (2) RADIUS authentication.

Unknown "Denial of Service Attack" vulnerability in Computer Associates (CA) Unicenter Remote Control (URC) 6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption in URC host service).

FreeScripts VisitorBook LE (visitorbook.pl) does not properly escape line breaks in input, which allows remote attackers to (1) use VisitorBook as an open mail relay, when $mailuser is 1, via extra headers in the email field, or (2) cause the guestbook database to be deleted via a large number of line breaks that exceeds the $max_posts variable.

Unknown "System Security Vulnerability" in Computer Associates (CA) Unicenter Remote Control (URC) 6.0 allows attackers to gain privileges via the help interface.

Real time clock (RTC) routines in Linux kernel 2.4.23 and earlier do not properly initialize their structures, which could leak kernel data to user space.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in FreeScripts VisitorBook LE (visitorbook.pl) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or web script via (1) the "do" parameter, (2) via the "user" parameter from a host with a malicious reverse DNS name, (3) via quote marks or ampersands in other parameters.

lintian 1.23 and earlier removes the working directory even if it was not created by lintian, which may allow local users to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.
