1 Critical Vulnerabilities

DATE CVE VENDOR VULNERABILITY CVSS
2009-08-14 CVE-2009-1048 Snom Authentication Bypass by Spoofing vulnerability in Snom products

The web interface on the snom VoIP phones snom 300, snom 320, snom 360, snom 370, and snom 820 with firmware 6.5 before 6.5.20, 7.1 before 7.1.39, and 7.3 before 7.3.14 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication, and reconfigure the phone or make arbitrary use of the phone, via a (1) http or (2) https request with 127.0.0.1 in the Host header.

2 High Vulnerabilities

2009-08-14 CVE-2009-2768 Linux NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel

The load_flat_shared_library function in fs/binfmt_flat.c in the flat subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.31-rc6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by executing a shared flat binary, which triggers an access of an "uninitialized cred pointer."

2009-08-14 CVE-2009-2692 Linux
Debian
Suse
Redhat
Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in multiple products

The Linux kernel 2.6.0 through 2.6.30.4, and 2.4.4 through 2.4.37.4, does not initialize all function pointers for socket operations in proto_ops structures, which allows local users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and gain privileges by using mmap to map page zero, placing arbitrary code on this page, and then invoking an unavailable operation, as demonstrated by the sendpage operation (sock_sendpage function) on a PF_PPPOX socket.

Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products

Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in libxml2 2.5.10, 2.6.16, 2.6.26, 2.6.27, and 2.6.32, and libxml 1.8.17, allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted (1) Notation or (2) Enumeration attribute types in an XML file, as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework.
