A vulnerability was found in the way RemoteMessageChannel, introduced in jboss-remoting versions 3.3.10, reads from an empty buffer. An attacker could use this flaw to cause denial of service via high CPU caused by an infinite loop.
Withdrawn Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because the vulnerability only affects the Qpid Proton C library and not org.apache.qpid:proton-j. This link has been maintained to preserve external references.
Original Description
While investigating bug PROTON-2014, we discovered that under some circumstances Apache Qpid Proton versions 0.9 to 0.27.0 (C library and its language bindings) can connect to a peer anonymously using TLS even when configured to verify the peer certificate while used with OpenSSL versions before 1.1.0. This means that an undetected man in the middle attack could be constructed if an attacker can arrange to intercept TLS traffic.
Buffer overflow in ncurses library allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via long environmental information such as TERM or TERMINFODIRS.
Buffer overflow in ncurses 5.0, and the ncurses4 compatibility package as used in Red Hat Linux, allows local users to gain privileges, related to "routines for moving the physical cursor and scrolling."
Buffer overflow in CMAN - The Cluster Manager before 2.03.09-1 on Fedora 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and memory corruption) via a cluster.conf file with many lines. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue crosses privilege boundaries in realistic uses of the product.
Various PDF viewers including (1) Adobe Acrobat 5.06 and (2) Xpdf 1.01 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an embedded hyperlink.
Konqueror Embedded and KDE 2.2.2 and earlier does not validate the Common Name (CN) field for X.509 Certificates, which could allow remote attackers to spoof certificates via a man-in-the-middle attack.
Unknown vulnerability in GNU Ghostscript before 7.07 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands, even when -dSAFER is enabled, via a PostScript file that causes the commands to be executed from a malicious print job.
lv reads a .lv file from the current working directory, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands as other lv users by placing malicious .lv files into other directories.
vsftpd FTP daemon in Red Hat Linux 9 is not compiled against TCP wrappers (tcpwrappers) but is installed as a standalone service, which inadvertently prevents vsftpd from restricting access as intended.
umlnet in the kernel-utils package for Red Hat Linux 8.0 has incorrect setuid root privileges, which allows local users to modify network interfaces, e.g. by modifying ARP entries or placing interfaces into promiscuous mode.
Buffer overflow in ksu in Kerberos 5 allows local users to gain root privileges.
The pamconsole PAM module in Linux systems performs a chown on various devices upon a user login, but an open file descriptor for those devices can be maintained after the user logs out, which allows that user to sniff activity on these devices when subsequent users log in.
ORBit and esound in Red Hat Linux 6.1 do not use sufficiently random numbers, which allows local users to guess the authentication keys.
pg and pb in SuSE pbpg 1.x package allows an attacker to read arbitrary files.
Buffer overflow in imwheel allows local users to gain root privileges via the imwheel-solo script and a long HOME environmental variable.
gpm-root in the gpm package does not properly drop privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by starting a utility from gpm-root.
Red Hat 6.0 allows local users to gain root access by booting single user and hitting ^C at the password prompt.
Buffer overflow in mhshow in the Linux nmh package allows remote attackers to execute commands via malformed MIME headers in an email message.
Buffer overflow in the dump utility in the Linux ext2fs backup package allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.
Buffer overflow in the man program in Linux allows local users to gain privileges via the MANPAGER environmental variable.
The Red Hat Linux su program does not log failed password guesses if the su process is killed before it times out, which allows local attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.
Red Hat userhelper program in the usermode package allows local users to gain root access via PAM and a .. (dot dot) attack.
xosview 1.5.1 in Red Hat 5.1 allows local users to gain root access via a long HOME environmental variable.
abuse.console in Red Hat 2.1 uses relative pathnames to find and execute the undrv program, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a path that points to a Trojan horse program.
PAM configuration file for rlogin in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier includes a less restrictive rule before a more restrictive one, which allows users to access the host via rlogin even if rlogin has been explicitly disabled using the /etc/nologin file.
automatic download option in ncftp 2.4.2 FTP client in Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the names of files that are to be downloaded.
linuxconf before 1.11.r11-rh3 on Red Hat Linux 5.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access via a symlink attack.
Buffer overflow in SysVInit in Red Hat Linux 5.1 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges.
Buffer overflow in linuxconf 1.11r11-rh2 on Red Hat Linux 5.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long LANG environmental variable.
