Weekly Vulnerabilities Reports > September 27 to October 3, 2004

Heap-based buffer overflow in ASN.1 decoding library in Check Point VPN-1 products, when Aggressive Mode IKE is implemented, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by initiating an IKE negotiation and then sending an IKE packet with malformed ASN.1 data.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the BMP image format parser for the QT library (qt3) before 3.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Buffer overflow in the ActiveX component (pdf.ocx) for Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 and Acrobat Reader, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URI for a PDF file with a null terminator (%00) followed by a long string.

Sygate Enforcer 3.5MR1 and earlier passes broadcast traffic before authentication, which could allow remote attackers to bypass filtering rules.

Buffer overflow in the converter for Microsoft WordPerfect 5.x on Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003, and Works Suites 2001 through 2004 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious document or website.

Buffer overflow in the MSN protocol plugins (1) object.c and (2) slp.c for Gaim before 0.82 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via MSNSLP protocol messages that are not properly handled in a strncpy call.

mah-jong before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via a missing argument, which triggers a null pointer dereference.

Buffer overflow in the child_service function in the ident2 ident daemon allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Clearswift MAILsweeper before 4.3.15 does not properly detect filenames in BinHex (HQX) encoded files, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended policy.

Clearswift MAILsweeper before 4.3.15 does not properly detect and filter ZIP 6.0 encoded files, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended policy.

Clearswift MAILsweeper before 4.3.15 does not properly detect and filter RAR 3.20 encoded files, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended policy.

IBM DB2 7.1 and 8.1 allow the bin user to gain root privileges by modifying the shared libraries that are used in setuid root programs.

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in IBM DB2 Universal Database 8.1 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via certain command line arguments to (1) db2start, (2) db2stop, or (3) db2govd.

Multiple buffer overflows in IBM DB2 Universal Database 8.1 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments to (1) db2start, (2) db2stop, or (3) db2govd.

Buffer overflow in sqllib/security/db2ckpw for IBM DB2 Universal Database 6.0 and 7.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long username that is read from a file descriptor argument.

KDE before 3.3.0 does not properly handle when certain symbolic links point to "stale" locations, which could allow local users to create or truncate arbitrary files.

cPanel 9.9.1-RELEASE-3 allows remote authenticated users to chmod arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the _private directory, which is created when Front Page extensions are enabled.

The GIF parser in the QT library (qt3) before 3.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed image file that triggers a null dereference, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0692.

The XPM parser in the QT library (qt3) before 3.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed image file that triggers a null dereference, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0693.

The asn1buf_skiptail function in the ASN.1 decoder library for MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.2.2 through 1.3.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a certain BER encoding.

The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) implementation in CUPS before 1.1.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service hang) via a certain UDP packet to the IPP port.

Sygate Secure Enterprise (SSE) 3.5MR3 and earlier does not change the key used to encrypt data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by capturing a session and repeatedly replaying the session.

Sygate Enforcer 4.0 earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service hang) by replaying a malformed discovery packet to UDP port 39999.

ServerMask 2.2 and earlier does not obfuscate (1) ETag, (2) HTTP Status Message, or (3) Allow HTTP responses, which could tell remote attackers that the web server is an IIS server.

The DCOPServer in KDE 3.2.3 and earlier allows local users to gain unauthorized access via a symlink attack on DCOP files in the /tmp directory.

Double free vulnerability in the krb5_rd_cred function for MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.3.1 and earlier may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.

The mysqlhotcopy script in mysql 4.0.20 and earlier, when using the scp method from the mysql-server package, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

IBM DB2 Universal Database 7 before FixPak 12 creates certain DMS directories with insecure permissions (777), which allows local users to modify or delete certain DB2 files.

Directory traversal vulnerability in RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1040) and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a Real Metadata Packages (RMP) file with a FILENAME tag containing ..
