libuser 0.51.7 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or disk consumption) via unknown attack vectors, related to read failures and other bugs.
passwd 0.68 does not check the return code for the pamstart function, which has unknown impact and attack vectors that may prevent "safe and proper operation" of PAM.
Memory leak in passwd 0.68 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of failed read attempts from the password buffer.
Off-by-one error in passwd 0.68 and earlier, when using the --stdin option, causes passwd to use the first 78 characters of a password instead of the first 79, which results in a small reduction of the search space required for brute force attacks.
Race condition in the (1) loadelflibrary and (2) binfmtaout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.
Unknown vulnerability in the rwho daemon (rwhod) before 0.17, on little endian architectures, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).
The derchop script in the openssl package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
sudo before 1.6.8p2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by using "()" style environment variables to create functions that have the same name as any program within the bash script that is called without using the program's full pathname.
MIMEDefang in MIME-tools 5.414 allows remote attackers to bypass virus scanning capabilities via an e-mail attachment with a virus that contains an empty boundary string in the Content-Type header.
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.
The netatalk package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
The makeoidjoinscheck script in PostgreSQL 7.4.5 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
statd in nfs-utils 1.257 and earlier does not ignore the SIGPIPE signal, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server process crash) via a TCP connection that is prematurely terminated.
Format string vulnerability in Speedtouch USB driver before 1.3.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) modemrun, (2) pppoa2, or (3) pppoa3.
Multiple buffer overflows in the ImageMagick graphics library 5.x before 5.4.4, and 6.x before 6.0.6.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed (1) AVI, (2) BMP, or (3) DIB files.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the imlib BMP image handler allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.
Buffer overflow in layer2.c in mpg123 0.59r and possibly mpg123 0.59s allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain (1) mp3 or (2) mp2 file.
Buffer overflow in the BMP loader in imlib2 before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially-crafted BMP image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0817.
ksymoops-gznm script in Mandrake Linux 9.1 through 10.0, and Corporate Server 2.1, allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on files in /tmp.
Insecure permissions for the /proc/scsi/qla2300/HbaApiNode file in Linux allows local users to cause a denial of service.
The e1000 driver for Linux kernel 2.4.26 and earlier does not properly initialize memory before using it, which allows local users to read portions of kernel memory. NOTE: this issue was originally incorrectly reported as a "buffer overflow" by some sources.
The maketemp.pl script in Usermin 1.070 and 1.080 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files at install time via a symlink attack on the /tmp/.usermin directory.
Floating point information leak in the context switch code for Linux 2.4.x only checks the MFH bit but does not verify the FPH owner, which allows local users to read register values of other processes by setting the MFH bit.
Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in Linux kernel 2.6 allow local users to gain privileges or access kernel memory, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified in CVE-2004-0495, as found by the Sparse source code checking tool.
Unknown vulnerability in Linux kernel 2.x may allow local users to modify the group ID of files, such as NFS exported files in kernel 2.4.
Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via streams that end prematurely, as demonstrated using the (1) CCITTFaxDecode and (2) DCTDecode streams, aka "Infinite CPU spins."
Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference.
The CCITTFaxStream::CCITTFaxStream function in Stream.cc for xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others allows attackers to corrupt the heap via negative or large integers in a CCITTFaxDecode stream, which lead to integer overflows and integer underflows.
