Description of problem: packetgetnamespkt() doesn't initialize all members of sadata field of sockaddr struct if strlen(dev->name) < 13. This structure is then copied to userland. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory. We have to fully fill sadata with strncpy() instead of strlcpy().

The same with packetgetname(): it doesn't initialize sllpkttype field of sockaddrll. Set it to zero.

Description of problem: In bcmconnect() (in net/can/bcm.c), there is the following code:

sprintf(bo->procname, "%p", sock);

"procname" is a 9-byte char array. On 64-bit platforms, up to 17 bytes may be copied into the buffer. Fortunately, structure padding will most likely prevent this from being a problem, except for the trailing NULL byte, which may overwrite the first byte of the next heap object.

Description of problem: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/11/167

The TIOCGICOUNT device ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 9 bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the "reserved" member of the serialicounterstruct struct declared on the stack in hsogetcount() is not altered or zeroed before being copied back to the user. This patch takes care of it.

Description of problem: Calling ETHTOOLGRXCLSRLALL with a large rulecnt will allocate kernel heap without clearing it. For the one driver (niu) that implements it, it will leave the unused portion of heap unchanged and copy the full contents back to userspace.

This is different from CVE-2010-2478, but was introduced at the same time (0853ad66, 2.6.27-rc1).

A security flaw was found in the WebKit's Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) implementation. Quoting exact details from the WebKit advisory:

Before allowing a page from one origin to access a resource in another origin, WebKit sends a preflight request, to determine if the origin server for the resource being accessed will allow the resource to be shared. WebKit includes custom HTTP headers specified by the requesting page in the preflight request. This can result in unexpected actions being initiated on the cross-origin site without user consent. This issue is addressed by dropping custom HTTP headers from preflight requests.

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.

The implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (aka Bidi algorithm or UBA) in Google Chrome before 5.0.375.99 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

An off by one memory read out of bounds issue exists in WebKit's handling of HTML lists. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or the disclosure of the contents of memory. This issue is addressed through improved bounds checking.

A use after free issue exists in WebKit's handling of geolocation events. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This issue is addressed through improved handing of geolocation events.

WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 4.1.3 and 5.0.x before 5.0.3 and Google Chrome before 6.0.472.62, does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via an SVG element in a non-SVG document.

Integer overflow in inc/server.hpp in libnet6 (aka net6) before 1.3.14 might allow remote attackers to hijack connections and gain privileges as other users by making a large number of connections until the overflow occurs and an ID of another user is provided.

The libobby server in inc/server.hpp in libnet6 (aka net6) before 1.3.14 does not perform authentication before checking the user name, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information such as server-usage patterns by a particular user and color preferences.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the LookupMarkMarkPos function in the HarfBuzz module (harfbuzz-gpos.c), as used by Qt before 4.7.4 and Pango, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.

ftpd.c in the GSS-API FTP daemon in MIT Kerberos Version 5 Applications (aka krb5-appl) 1.0.1 and earlier does not check the krb5setegid return value, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended group access restrictions, and create, overwrite, delete, or read files, via standard FTP commands, related to missing autoconf tests in a configure script.

The vsffilenamepassesfilter function in ls.c in vsftpd before 2.3.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and process slot exhaustion) via crafted glob expressions in STAT commands in multiple FTP sessions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2632.
