Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the aprfnmatch() function when processing specific patterns with the "" wildcard. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume all available CPU and memory resources resulting in a denial of service.
cupsd in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by adding a large number of RSS Subscriptions, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: this issue can be triggered remotely by leveraging CVE-2008-5184.
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-4796 to the following vulnerability:
The httpsrequest function (Snoopy/Snoopy.class.php) in Snoopy 1.2.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in https URLs. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Created attachment 320281 [details] Proposed actualized upstream qemu patch to resolve the Cirrus LGD-54XX "bitblt" heap overflow (CVE-2007-1320)
Jan Niehusmann discovered that the upstream fix for the CVE-2007-1320 is incomplete and still allows local users to cause a heap-based buffer overlow, when connecting via the VNC console.
Steps to reproduce:
No reproducer.
Upstream qemu patch for the initial CVE-2007-1320 issue: https://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2007/applications/emulators/qemu/files/CVE-2007-1320.patch
Proposed upstream correction of this patch - see attachment.
Devin Carraway of the Debian Security Team discovered that the upstream fix for the CVE-2008-2079 is incomplete and still makes it possible for local users to create tables via INDEX/DATA DIRECTORY directives in the MySQL data directory (/var/lib/mysql) via directory symlinks.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480292#25
CVE-2008-2079 was tracked via bug bug #445222.
An attacker needs following to exploit this issue: - MySQL database account with privileges to create tables - shell access to the host running MySQL database with write access to a directory accessible by the mysqld daemon process
QEMU 0.9.0 does not properly handle changes to removable media, which allows guest OS users to read arbitrary files on the host OS by using the diskformat: parameter in the -usbdevice option to modify the disk-image header to identify a different format, a related issue to CVE-2008-2004.
The http-index-format MIME type parser (nsDirIndexParser) in Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 does not check for an allocation failure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTTP index response with a crafted 200 header, which triggers memory corruption and a buffer overflow.
Description of problem: Similar to the second issue that Fab mentioned in his presentation at 26c3, this affects the e1000e driver. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showbug.cgi?id=550907#c0 issue #2 for the description, and this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showbug.cgi?id=550907#c4. This bug is filed to make sure we fix this too.
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/37523
Description of problem: This was disclosed at 26c3.
Fabian also mentioned the fix for CVE-2009-1389 regarding the r8169 driver introduces a similar security problem as this: http://git.kernel.org/linus/fdd7b4c3302c93f6833e338903ea77245eb510b4
- RTLW16(RxMaxSize, 16383); + RTLW16(RxMaxSize, rxbufsz);
is actually a revert of this: http://git.kernel.org/linus/126fa4b9ca5d9d7cb7d46f779ad3bd3631ca387c
- / For gigabit rtl8169, MTU + header + CRC + VLAN / - RTLW16(RxMaxSize, tp->rxbufsz); + / Low hurts. Let's disable the filtering. / + RTLW16(RxMaxSize, 16383);
The accompanying comment for the original commit (126fa):
The size of the incoming frame is not correctly checked.
The RxMaxSize register (0xDA) does not work as expected and incoming frames whose size exceeds the MTU actually end spanning multiple descriptors. The first Rx descriptor contains the size of the whole frame (or some garbage in its place). The driver does not expect something above the space allocated to the current skb and crashes loudly when it issues a skbput.
The fix contains two parts: - disable hardware Rx size filtering: so far it only proved to be able to trigger some new fancy errors; [...]
warned of issues when using hardware Rx size filtering and Fabian claimed to be able to trigger something similar to the e1000 bug when using a specific packet size.

Fabian mentioned that CVE-2009-1385 has an incorrect fix. The fix he points to is http://git.kernel.org/linus/ea30e11970a96cfe5e32c03a29332554573b4a10
Which fixes a DoS when the frame spans multiple buffers and the last buffer contains less than four bytes. However, if that last fragment is longer than 4 bytes, it will actually be taken into account while the previous fragments will have been ignored. This means we can end up in a situation where a single Ethernet frame has multiple interpretation since at some level it will be considered as a whole and in others the N first bytes will be silently discarded.

PHP before 5.2.12 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1 does not restrict the number of temporary files created when handling a multipart/form-data POST request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion), and makes it easier for remote attackers to exploit local file inclusion vulnerabilities, via multiple requests, related to lack of support for the maxfileuploads directive.
The pollmodeio file for the megaraidsas driver in the Linux kernel 2.6.31.6 and earlier has world-writable permissions, which allows local users to change the I/O mode of the driver by modifying this file.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the abstract file-descriptor handling interface in the cupsdDoSelect function in scheduler/select.c in the scheduler in cupsd in CUPS 1.3.7 and 1.3.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash or hang) via a client disconnection during listing of a large number of print jobs, related to improperly maintaining a reference count. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in httpd's modproxyftp module. Malicious FTP server can use this flaw to crash httpd's child process via malformed reply to EPSV FTP command.
Problem was confirmed in both 2.0.x and 2.2.x httpd versions.

The exifreaddata function in the Exif module in PHP before 5.2.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed JPEG image with invalid offset fields, a different issue than CVE-2005-3353.
Buffer underflow in src/http/ngxhttpparse.c in nginx 0.1.0 through 0.5.37, 0.6.x before 0.6.39, 0.7.x before 0.7.62, and 0.8.x before 0.8.15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP requests.
In his upcoming Blackhat paper and presentation Dan Kaminsky highlights some more issues he has found relating to SSL hash collisions and related vulnerabilities.
His second issue is all about inconsistencies in the interpretation of subject x509 names in certificates. Specifically "issue 2, attack 2c" regarding NULL terminators in a Common Name field. An attacker could create a malicious certificate containing a NULL, which, if they were able to get it signed, could confuse a client into accepting it by mistake.
According to the paper this is said to affect Firefox.
The kvmarchvcpuioctlsetsregs function in the KVM in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.30, when running on x86 systems, does not validate the page table root in a KVMSETSREGS call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash or hang) via a crafted cr3 value, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the gfntormap function.
libclamav/untar.c in ClamAV before 0.95 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted TAR file that causes (1) clamd and (2) clamscan to hang.
Multiple integer overflows in FreeType 2.3.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to large values in certain inputs in (1) smooth/ftsmooth.c, (2) sfnt/ttcmap.c, and (3) cff/cffload.c.
Anibal Sacco from Core Security Technologies discovered a NULL pointer dereference flaw in CUPS daemon when handling the IPPTAGUNSUPPORTED, which allows remote attackers with access to CUPS' IPP port to crash cupsd.

libxml2 before 2.7.8, as used in Google Chrome before 7.0.517.44, Apple Safari 5.0.2 and earlier, and other products, reads from invalid memory locations during processing of malformed XPath expressions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted XML document.
Use-after-free vulnerability in kbx/keybox-blob.c in GPGSM in GnuPG 2.x through 2.0.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a certificate with a large number of Subject Alternate Names, which is not properly handled in a realloc operation when importing the certificate or verifying its signature.
The upstream PHP 5.2.14 and 5.3.3 releases corrected an information disclosure flaw where the varexport() function would disclose data if a fatal error occurred due to recursion, memorylimit, or execution time. The buffer is never cleared and is flushed to the user, regardless of the configured displayerrors setting, because it is considered part of the output. This could lead to a disclosure of possibly sensitive information.
The name CVE-2010-2531 has been assigned to this issue.
An example to test:
% cat test.php #!/usr/bin/php <?php @$obj->p =& $obj; varexport($obj, true); ?> % php test.php PHP Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line 4 stdClass::setstate(array( 'p' => stdClass::setstate(array( 'p' => stdClass::setstate(array( 'p' => stdClass::setstate(array( % cat test2.php #!/usr/bin/php <?php $a[] =& $a; varexport($a, true); ?> % php test2.php PHP Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line 4 array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array (
The upstream changes prevent any output from displaying, so should only display the "PHP Fatal error".

Heap-based buffer overflow in the InsIUP function in truetype/ttinterp.c in FreeType before 2.4.0, when TrueType bytecode support is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.
Multiple buffer overflows in demo programs in FreeType before 2.4.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the MacReadPOSTResource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted length value in a POST fragment header in a font file.
Robert Swiecki reported an invalid free flaw, that could possibly corrupt the heap, in freetype. This could cause applications linked against freetype to crash (SIGABRT) or, possibly, lead to the execution of arbitrary code if an attacker were able to get a victim to load a malicious font file.
The affected code is not present in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (freetype 2.1.4). In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 this code is present, but does not cause a crash.
This issue has been given the name CVE-2010-2498.
