2 Critical Vulnerabilities

DATE CVE VENDOR VULNERABILITY CVSS
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-2654 Novell Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Novell Cloud Manager 1.1.2

The RPC implementation in the server in Novell Cloud Manager 1.1.2 before Patch 3 does not properly initialize objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by making RPC calls that leverage incorrect privileges associated with a partially initialized session.

9.3
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-0258 Apple
Microsoft
Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in Apple Quicktime

Apple QuickTime before 7.7 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted image description associated with an mp4v tag in a movie file.

9.3

4 High Vulnerabilities

DATE CVE VENDOR VULNERABILITY CVSS
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-1771 Linux NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel

The cifs_close function in fs/cifs/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and BUG) or possibly have unspecified other impact by setting the O_DIRECT flag during an attempt to open a file on a CIFS filesystem.

7.8
2011-09-08 CVE-2011-3342 Openttd Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in Openttd

Multiple buffer overflows in OpenTTD before 1.1.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) NAME, (2) PLYR, (3) CHTS, or (4) AIPL (aka AI config) chunk loading from a savegame.

7.5
2011-09-08 CVE-2011-3341 Openttd Numeric Errors vulnerability in Openttd

Multiple off-by-one errors in order_cmd.cpp in OpenTTD before 1.1.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted CMD_INSERT_ORDER command.

7.5
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-2660 Suse Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop and Vpnc

The modify_resolvconf_suse script in the vpnc package before 0.5.1-55.10.1 in SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted DNS domain name.

7.5

7 Medium Vulnerabilities

DATE CVE VENDOR VULNERABILITY CVSS
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-1776 Linux
Redhat
Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products

The is_gpt_valid function in fs/partitions/efi.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 does not check the size of an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) GUID Partition Table (GPT) entry, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and OOPS) or obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory by connecting a crafted GPT storage device, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1577.

6.1
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-1359 IBM Path Traversal vulnerability in IBM Websphere Application Server

Directory traversal vulnerability in the administration console in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 before 6.1.0.41, 7.0 before 7.0.0.19, and 8.0 before 8.0.0.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ..

5.0
2011-09-08 CVE-2011-3343 Openttd Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in Openttd

Multiple buffer overflows in OpenTTD before 1.1.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly gain privileges via (1) a crafted BMP file with RLE compression or (2) crafted dimensions in a BMP file.

4.6
2011-09-08 CVE-2011-3384 Sage Mozdev
Mozilla
Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Sage-Mozdev Sage 1.3.8

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Sage add-on 1.3.10 and earlier for Firefox allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted feed, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-4102.

4.3
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-3388 Opera Information Exposure vulnerability in Opera Browser

Opera before 11.51 allows remote attackers to cause an insecure site to appear secure or trusted via unspecified actions related to Extended Validation and loading content from trusted sources in an unspecified sequence that causes the address field and page information dialog to contain security information based on the trusted site, instead of the insecure site.

4.3
2011-09-06 CVE-2011-3390 IBM Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in IBM Openadmin Tool

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in index.php in IBM OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) before 2.72 for Informix allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) informixserver, (2) host, or (3) port parameter in a login action.

4.3
2011-09-08 CVE-2011-3391 IBM Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in IBM Rational Build Forge 7.1.2
