FFmpeg could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer signedness error in the fourxmreadheader() function in libavformat/4xm.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted 4X movie file with a large currenttrack value, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory, trigger a NULL pointer dereference and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in gedit's Python module allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file in the current working directory, related to an erroneous setting of sys.path by the PySysSetArgv function.

Debian bug report for similar eog issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504352#4

Proposed patch: Not sure, if gedi'ts upstream has been reported about this issue. The Debian patch for similar eog's Python related issue, available at:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=02sanitizesys.path.patch;att=1;bug=504352

should be sufficient to resolve this issue.

The Device Mapper multipathing driver (aka multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath) 0.4.8, as used in SUSE openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), Fedora, and possibly other operating systems, uses world-writable permissions for the socket file (aka /var/run/multipathd.sock), which allows local users to send arbitrary commands to the multipath daemon.

The PNG reference library (aka libpng) before 1.0.43, and 1.2.x before 1.2.35, as used in pngcrush and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer in (1) the pngreadpng function, (2) pCAL chunk handling, or (3) setup of 16-bit gamma tables.

Red Hat Cluster Project 2.x allows local users to modify or overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on files in /tmp, involving unspecified components in Resource Group Manager (aka rgmanager) before 2.03.09-1, gfs2-utils before 2.03.09-1, and CMAN - The Cluster Manager before 2.03.09-1 on Fedora 9.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the cirrusinvalidateregion function in the Cirrus VGA extension in QEMU 0.8.2, as used in Xen and possibly other products, might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors related to "attempting to mark non-existent regions as dirty," aka the "bitblt" heap overflow.

Heap-based buffer overflow in pcrecompile.c in the Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library 7.7 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a regular expression that begins with an option and contains multiple branches.

The expat XML parser in the aprxml interface in xml/aprxml.c in Apache APR-util before 1.3.7, as used in the moddav and moddavsvn modules in the Apache HTTP Server, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, as demonstrated by a PROPFIND request, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.

The multipart processor in ModSecurity before 2.5.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a multipart form datapost request with a missing part header name, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

The PDF XSS protection feature in ModSecurity before 2.5.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Apache httpd crash) via a request for a PDF file that does not use the GET method.

Jakob Balle and Carsten Eiram of Secunia Research reported a race condition in NPObjWrapperNewResolve when accessing the properties of a NPObject, a wrapped JSObject. Balle and Eiram demonstrated that this condition could be reached by navigating away from a web page during the loading of a Java applet. Under such conditions the Java object would be destroyed but later called into resulting in a free memory read. An attacker could potentially write to the freed memory before it is reused and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.

src/tools/pkcs11-tool.c in pkcs11-tool in OpenSC 0.11.7, when used with unspecified third-party PKCS#11 modules, generates RSA keys with incorrect public exponents, which allows attackers to read the cleartext form of messages that were intended to be encrypted.

Buffer overflow in the utilpathencode function in udev/lib/libudev-util.c in udev before 1.4.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (service outage) via vectors that trigger a call with crafted arguments.

A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way udev used to check for the origin of messages sent from the NETLINK service. An attacker could use this flaw to escalate his privileges by sending the NETLINK message from userspace process, instead of from the kernel.

The asn1decodegeneraltime function in lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1decode.c in the ASN.1 GeneralizedTime decoder in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.6.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an invalid DER encoding that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer.
