Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in Java SE component allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via Unknown vectors.
Marc Schoenefeld found a flaw in the way OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 and earlier, enforced non-executable permission, when browsing macros, written in Python scripting language. If a local user was tricked into opening a specially-crafted OpenDocument Text (ODT) file, containing macros, and previewed the macro directories structure, it could lead to Python macro execution even when macros execution was disabled.
Adobe Flash Player before 9.0.277.0 and 10.x before 10.1.53.64; Adobe AIR before 2.0.2.12610; and Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.3, and 8.x before 8.2.3 on Windows and Mac OS X, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted SWF content, related to authplay.dll and the ActionScript Virtual Machine 2 (AVM2) newfunction instruction, as exploited in the wild in June 2010.
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.
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.
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.

Buffer overflow in SUSE blinux (aka sbl) in SUSE openSUSE 10.3 through 11.0 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to "incoming data and authentication-strings."
The NE2000 emulator in QEMU 0.8.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by writing Ethernet frames with a size larger than the MTU to the EN0TCNT register, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow in the slirp library, aka NE2000 "mtu" heap overflow. NOTE: some sources have used CVE-2007-1321 to refer to this issue as part of "NE2000 network driver and the socket code," but this is the correct identifier for the mtu overflow vulnerability.
The decompression implementation in the Imf::hufUncompress function in OpenEXR 1.2.2 and 1.6.1 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors that trigger a free of an uninitialized pointer.
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.
The kgacceptkrb5 function in krb5/acceptseccontext.c in the GSS-API library in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.7.1 and 1.8 before 1.8.2, as used in kadmind and other applications, does not properly check for invalid GSS-API tokens, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an AP-REQ message in which the authenticator's checksum field is missing.
Use-after-free vulnerability in kadmin/server/serverstubs.c in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) 1.5 through 1.6.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a request from a kadmin client that sends an invalid API version number.
XMLScanner.java in Apache Xerces2 Java, as used in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 before Update 15 and JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 20, and in other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and application hang) via malformed XML input, as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework.
Description of problem: The vmxsetmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the VMX implementation in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.29.1 on the i386 platform allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by setting the EFERLME (aka "Long mode enable") bit in the Extended Feature Enable Register (EFER) model-specific register, which is specific to the x8664 platform.

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAPMKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the rootsquash option.
fs/ecryptfs/inode.c in the eCryptfs subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (fault or memory corruption), or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a readlink call that results in an error, leading to use of a -1 return value as an array index.
Description of problem: Frank Filz reported: the problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it OREADONLY which means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.
This problem is observed by the following sequence (executed as root):
mount -t nfs4 server:/ /mnt4 echo "ls" >/mnt4/foo chmod 744 /mnt4/foo su guest -c "mnt4/foo"

Untrusted search path vulnerability in GTK2 in OpenSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse GTK module in an unspecified "relative search path."
The pngdecompresschunk function in pngrutil.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.53, 1.2.x before 1.2.43, and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 does not properly handle compressed ancillary-chunk data that has a disproportionately large uncompressed representation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and application hang) via a crafted PNG file, as demonstrated by use of the deflate compression method on data composed of many occurrences of the same character, related to a "decompression bomb" attack.
Description of problem: On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIFIA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.
In both these cases, auditsyscallentry() will use the wrong system call number table and the wrong system call argument registers. This could be used to circumvent a syscall audit configuration that filters based on the syscall numbers or argument details.

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.
