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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Adobe Acrobat and Reader contains an array boundary issue in Universal 3D (U3D) support that could lead to remote code execution.
Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4 and earlier on Mac OS X and Unix allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via ..%2F (dot dot encoded slash) sequences in a resource:// URI.
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly perform vector aggregation, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and DBMS crash), related to an "overflow." NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.
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.
xterm in Digital UNIX 4.0B with patch kit 5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a core dump file, which is created when xterm is called with a DISPLAY environmental variable set to a display that xterm cannot access.
The dtlogin program in Compaq Tru64 UNIX allows local users to gain root privileges.
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."
Unspecified vulnerability in the SSL LOAD GSKIT action in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, involving a call to dlopen when the effective uid is root.
Unspecified vulnerability in unspecified setuid programs in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 allows local users to have an unknown impact.
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.
traceroute in NetBSD 1.3.3 and Linux systems allows local users to flood other systems by providing traceroute with a large waittime (-w) option, which is not parsed properly and sets the time delay for sending packets to zero.
traceroute in NetBSD 1.3.3 and Linux systems allows local unprivileged users to modify the source address of the packets, which could be used in spoofing attacks.
ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.
Process table attack in Unix systems allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service by filling a machine's process tables through multiple connections to network services.
Petitforum stores the liste.txt data file under the web document root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information such as e-mail addresses and encrypted passwords.
Album.pl 6.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands, when an alternative configuration file is used, via unknown attack vectors.
