Nokia Symbian 60 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (phone restart) via a Bluetooth nickname.

Windows Server 2003 and XP SP2, with Windows Firewall turned off, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a TCP packet with the SYN flag set and the same destination and source address and port, aka a reoccurrence of the "Land" vulnerability (CVE-1999-0016).

Trend ScanMail allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information or disable the anti-virus capability via the smency.nsf file.

Integer overflow on Apple QuickTime before 6.5.2, when running on Windows systems, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via certain inputs that cause a large memory operation.

The CGI module in Ruby 1.6 before 1.6.8, and 1.8 before 1.8.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a certain HTTP request.

Unknown vulnerability in FCKeditor 2.0 RC2, when used with PHP-Nuke, allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files.

The web management interface for Mitel 3300 Integrated Communications Platform (ICP) before 4.2.2.11 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a large number of active sessions, which exceeds ICP's maximum.

Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.

Computer Associates (CA) Unicenter Asset Management (UAM) 4.0 does not properly initialize the "Change Credentials for Database" window, which allows local users to recover the SQL Admin password via certain methods.

Unknown vulnerability in the passwd_check function in Shadow 4.0.4.1, and possibly other versions before 4.0.5, allows local users to conduct unauthorized activities when an error from a pam_chauthtok function call is not properly handled.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in fusion_core.php for PHP-Fusion 5.x allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a message with IMG bbcode containing character-encoded Javascript.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the News module for paBox 1.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the text hidden parameter in an HTTP POST request.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Reporter for Computer Associates (CA) Unicenter Asset Management (UAM) 4.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or web script via the (1) name or (2) description in a report template.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in profile.php in 427BB 2.2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) user or (2) Avatar parameters.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Download module for PostNuke 0.750 and 0.760-RC2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) Program name, (2) File link, (3) Author name (4) Author e-mail address, (5) File size, (6) Version, or (7) Home page variables.

Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote attackers to spoof the SSL "secure site" lock icon via (1) a web site that does not finish loading, which shows the lock of the previous site, (2) a non-HTTP server that uses SSL, which causes the lock to be displayed when the SSL handshake is completed, or (3) a URL that generates an HTTP 204 error, which updates the icon and location information but does not change the display of the original site.

Einstein 1.0 stores credit card information in plaintext in the world-readable wallets.dat file, which allows local users to steal the information.

delpm.php in PBLang 4.63 allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary PM files by modifying the "id" and "a" parameters.

sendpm.php in PBLang 4.63 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a full pathname in the orig parameter.

fcronsighup in Fcron 2.0.1, 2.9.4, and possibly earlier versions allows local users to gain sensitive information by calling fcronsighup with an arbitrary file, which reveals the contents of the file that can not be parsed in an error message.

reportbug 3.2 includes settings from .reportbugrc in bug reports, which exposes sensitive information such as smtpuser and smtppasswd.

reportbug before 2.62 creates the .reportbugrc configuration file with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to obtain email smarthost passwords.
