Stack-based buffer overflow in the readarticle function in getarticle.c in newsx 1.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a news article containing a large number of lines starting with a period.
The initrequestinfo function in sapi/cgi/cgimain.c in PHP before 5.2.6 does not properly consider operator precedence when calculating the length of PATHTRANSLATED, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI.
The GENERATESEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5, when running on 64-bit systems, performs a multiplication that generates a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision, which produces 24 bits of entropy and simplifies brute force attacks against protection mechanisms that use the rand and mtrand functions.
src/sdp.c in bluez-libs 3.30 in BlueZ, and other bluez-libs before 3.34 and bluez-utils before 3.34 versions, does not validate string length fields in SDP packets, which allows remote SDP servers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length field that triggers excessive memory allocation or a buffer over-read.
KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not set a global variable for some krb4 message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted messages that trigger a NULL pointer dereference or double-free.
Integer overflow in the rtlallocateMemory function in sal/rtl/source/allocglobal.c in the memory allocator in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.4.1, on 64-bit platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted document, related to a "numeric truncation error," a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2152.
nsFrameManager in Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by modifying properties of a file input element while it is still being initialized, then using the blur method to access uninitialized memory.
The excelreadHLINK function in plugins/excel/ms-excel-read.c in Gnome Office Gnumeric before 1.8.1 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted XLS file containing XLS HLINK opcodes, possibly because of an integer signedness error that leads to an integer overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
SQL injection vulnerability in the Schema API in Drupal 6.x before 6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to "an inappropriate placeholder for 'numeric' fields."
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.
Description of problem:
The Diatheke CGI allows arbitrary command execution in the context of the webserver, e.g. www-data by simply abusing the range parameter.
For example, &range=yes will consume tons of resources on the affected webserver. Escalation of privleges and command shells are left as an exercise to the reader.

The Kerberos 4 support in KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not properly clear the unused portion of a buffer when generating an error message, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, aka "Uninitialized stack values."
The ACL plugin in Dovecot before 1.1.4 treats negative access rights as if they are positive access rights, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
The padroproot function in PulseAudio 0.9.8, and a certain 0.9.9 build, does not check return values from (1) setresuid, (2) setreuid, (3) setuid, and (4) seteuid calls when attempting to drop privileges, which might allow local users to gain privileges by causing those calls to fail via attacks such as resource exhaustion.
Tavis Ormandy reported that seunshare, part of policycoreutils, was shipped setuid root and failed to enforce proper permissions on an alternate temporary directory mounted as /tmp. This could potentially lead to privilege escalation in certain privileged applications that assume /tmp to be sticky and root-owned.

Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy for reporting this issue.
Race condition in the directory notification subsystem (dnotify) in Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.24.6, and 2.6.25 before 2.6.25.1, allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) and possibly gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
cbrPager before 0.9.17 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a (1) ZIP (aka .cbz) or (2) RAR (aka .cbr) archive filename.
The silcpkcs1decode function in the silccrypt library (silcpkcs1.c) in Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) Toolkit before 1.1.7, SILC Client before 1.1.4, and SILC Server before 1.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PKCS#1 message, which triggers an integer underflow, signedness error, and a buffer overflow. NOTE: the researcher describes this as an integer overflow, but CVE uses the "underflow" term in cases of wraparound from unsigned subtraction.
Array index error in the sdpplinparse function in input/libreal/sdpplin.c in xine-lib 1.1.10.1 allows remote RTSP servers to execute arbitrary code via a large streamid SDP parameter.
Open redirect vulnerability in the search script in Trac before 0.10.5 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the q parameter, possibly related to the quickjump function.
The gnutlsx509verifycertificate function in lib/x509/verify.c in libgnutls in GnuTLS before 2.6.1 trusts certificate chains in which the last certificate is an arbitrary trusted, self-signed certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert a spoofed certificate for any Distinguished Name (DN).
Session fixation vulnerability in Drupal 5.x before 5.9 and 6.x before 6.3, when contributed modules "terminate the current request during a login event," allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via unknown vectors.
phpMyAdmin before 2.11.5.1 stores the MySQL (1) username and (2) password, and the (3) Blowfish secret key, in cleartext in a Session file under /tmp, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
The approxyhttpprocessresponse function in modproxyhttp.c in the modproxy module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.0.63 and 2.2.8 does not limit the number of forwarded interim responses, which allows remote HTTP servers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of interim responses.
Directory traversal vulnerability in WEBrick in Ruby 1.8 before 1.8.5-p115 and 1.8.6-p114, and 1.9 through 1.9.0-1, when running on systems that support backslash (\) path separators or case-insensitive file names, allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files via (1) "..%5c" (encoded backslash) sequences or (2) filenames that match patterns in the :NondisclosureName option.
Description of problem: Bitlbee 1.2.3 was released, see the following changelog:
Version 1.2.3: - Fixed one more flaw similar to the previous hijacking bug, caused by incon- sistent handling of the USTATUSIDENTIFIED state. All code touching these variables was reviewed and should be correct now.
Finished 7 Sep 2008
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bitlbee-1.2.2-1
Actual results: bitlbee-1.2.2-1
Expected results: bitlbee-1.2.3-1 ;-)
A certain Fedora patch for the utrace subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.26.5-28 on Fedora 8, and before 2.6.26.5-45 on Fedora 9, allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash or hang) via a call to the utracecontrol function.
Comix 3.6.4 creates temporary directories with predictable names, which allows local users to cause an unspecified denial of service.
