Opera before 12.12 on UNIX uses weak permissions for the profile directory, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a (1) cache file, (2) password file, or (3) configuration file, or (4) possibly gain privileges by modifying or overwriting a configuration file.
Opera before 11.62 on UNIX uses world-readable permissions for temporary files during printing, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these files.
Opera before 11.62 on UNIX, when used in conjunction with an unspecified printing application, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file during printing.
Unspecified vulnerability in the PRC component in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.4.7 on Windows, Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x through 9.4.6 on Mac OS X, Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x through 10.1.1 on Windows and Mac OS X, and Adobe Reader 9.x through 9.4.6 on UNIX allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in December 2011.
The Universal 3D (U3D) component in Adobe Reader and Acrobat contains a memory corruption vulnerability which could allow remote attackers to execute code or cause denial-of-service (DoS).
modproxy in httpd in Apache HTTP Server 2.2.9, when running on Unix, does not close the backend connection if a timeout occurs when reading a response from a persistent connection, which allows remote attackers to obtain a potentially sensitive response intended for a different client in opportunistic circumstances via a normal HTTP request. NOTE: this is the same issue as CVE-2010-2068, but for a different OS and set of affected versions.
Opera before 10.54 on Windows and Mac OS X, and before 10.60 on UNIX platforms, does not properly restrict access to the full pathname of a file selected for upload, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information via unspecified DOM manipulations.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera before 10.54 on Windows and Mac OS X, and before 10.11 on UNIX platforms, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a data: URI, related to incorrect detection of the "opening site."
Opera before 10.50 on Windows, before 10.52 on Mac OS X, and before 10.60 on UNIX platforms makes widget properties accessible to third-party domains, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information via a crafted web site.
Opera before 10.54 on Windows and Mac OS X, and before 10.60 on UNIX platforms, does not properly restrict certain uses of homograph characters in domain names, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof IDN domains via unspecified choices of characters.
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the web management interface in InterSect Alliance Snare Agent 3.2.3 and earlier on Solaris, Snare Agent 3.1.7 and earlier on Windows, Snare Agent 1.5.0 and earlier on Linux and AIX, Snare Agent 1.4 and earlier on IRIX, Snare Epilog 1.5.3 and earlier on Windows, and Snare Epilog 1.2 and earlier on UNIX allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) change the password or (2) change the listening port.
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.3 on UNIX allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3, and 8.x before 8.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via unspecified vectors.
Integer overflow in the U3D implementation in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3, and 8.x before 8.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed PDF document.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the NOS Microsystems getPlus Helper ActiveX control before 1.6.2.49 in gp.ocx in the Download Manager in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3, and 8.x before 8.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified initialization parameters.
The 3D implementation in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3, and 8.x before 8.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to a "DLL-loading vulnerability."
Adobe Security Bulletin for Adobe Reader and Acrobat APSB10-02 fixes following security flaw:
This update mitigates a script injection vulnerability by changing the Enhanced Security default (CVE-2009-3956).
Adobe Acrobat and Reader contains an array boundary issue in Universal 3D (U3D) support that could lead to remote code execution.
Absolute path traversal vulnerability in cvs.php in OCS Inventory NG before 1.02.1 on Unix allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a full pathname in the log parameter.
UCM-CQ in IBM Rational ClearCase 7.0.0.x before 7.0.0.5, 7.0.1.x before 7.0.1.4, and 7.1.x before 7.1.0.1 on Linux and AIX places a username and password on the command line, which allows local users to obtain credentials by listing the process.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the cache manager in the client in OpenAFS 1.0 through 1.4.8 and 1.5.0 through 1.5.58 on Unix platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an RX response containing more data than specified in a request, related to use of XDR arrays.
Adobe Reader was built to use insecure RPATH in the binary.
This issue could possibly be exploited by a local attacker to run arbitrary code as some other user if victim user can be convinced to run Adobe Reader in an attacker controlled directory with specially crafted content.
PatchLink Update client for Unix, as used by Novell ZENworks Patch Management Update Agent for Linux/Unix/Mac (LUM) 6.2094 through 6.4102 and other products, allows local users to (1) truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/patchlink.tmp file used by the logtrimmer script, and (2) execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the /tmp/plshutdown file used by the rebootTask script.
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC) 7 R3.2.0 allow attackers to gain privileges via "some HMC commands."
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly handle use of large numbers of file descriptors, which might allow attackers to have an unknown impact involving "memory corruption." NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 uses incorrect permissions on ACLs for DB2NODES.CFG, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.
Unspecified vulnerability in (1) DB2WATCH and (2) DB2FREEZE in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors.
Unspecified vulnerability in the DB2DART tool in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the DB2 instance owner, related to invocation of TPUT by DB2DART.
Unspecified vulnerability in DB2LICD in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to creation of an "insecure directory."
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 assigns incorrect privileges to the (1) DB2ADMNS and (2) DB2USERS alternative groups, which has unknown impact. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.
