Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In October 2002 (Denial of service)

PostgreSQL 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 allows local users to delete transaction log (pg_clog) data and cause a denial of service (data loss) via the VACUUM command.

The Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) packages (1) SUNWwbdoc, (2) SUNWwbcou, (3) SUNWwbdev and (4) SUNWmgapp packages, when installed using Solaris 8 Update 1/01 or later, install files with world or group write permissions, which allows local users to gain root privileges or cause a denial of service.

Unknown vulnerability in Solaris 8, when the 0x02 bit (aka TEST, KMF_DEADBEEF, or deadbeef) is set in the kmem_flags kernel parameter, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic).

Unknown vulnerability in NFS on Solaris 2.5.1 through Solaris 9 allows an NFS client to cause a denial of service by killing the lockd daemon.

Buffer overflow in DSC 3.0 parser from GSview, as used in KGhostView in KDE 1.1 and KDE 3.0.3a, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a modified .ps (PostScript) input file.

Buffer overflow in the embedded HTTP server for Cisco Catalyst switches running CatOS 5.4 through 7.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset) via a long HTTP request.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft PPTP Service on Windows XP and Windows 2000 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a certain PPTP packet with malformed control data.

Buffer overflow in RadioBird Software WebServer 4 Everyone 1.23 and 1.27, and other versions before 1.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long HTTP GET request.

IBM SecureWay Firewall before 4.2.2 performs extra processing before determining that a packet is invalid and dropping it, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a flood of malformed TCP packets without any flags set.

IBM AIX 4.3.3 and AIX 5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via a flood of malformed TCP packets without any flags set, which prevents AIX from releasing the associated memory buffers.

Balabit Syslog-NG 1.4.x before 1.4.15, and 1.5.x before 1.5.20, when using template filenames or output, does not properly track the size of a buffer when constant characters are encountered during macro expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

The Sabserv client component in Sabre Desktop Reservation Software 4.2 through 4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed input to TCP port 1001.

The getmxrecord function in Fetchmail 6.0.0 and earlier does not properly check the boundary of a particular malformed DNS packet from a malicious DNS server, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) when Fetchmail attempts to read data beyond the expected boundary.

Buffer overflows in Fetchmail 6.0.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) long headers that are not properly processed by the readheaders function, or (2) via long Received: headers, which are not properly parsed by the parse_received function.

The handle_var_requests function in snmp_agent.c for the SNMP daemon in the Net-SNMP (formerly ucd-snmp) package 5.0.1 through 5.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a NULL dereference.

anlgform.pl in Analog before 5.23 does not restrict access to the PROGRESSFREQ progress update command, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by using the command to report updates more frequently and fill the web server error log.

IBM Websphere 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTTP request with long HTTP headers, such as "Host".

The HTTP administration interface for HP Procurve 4000M Switch firmware before C.09.16, with stacking features and remote administration enabled, does not authenticate requests to reset the device, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a direct request to the device_reset CGI program.

The BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and other libraries such as glibc 2.2.5 and earlier, libc, and libresolv, use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual size when processing a DNS response, which causes the stub resolvers to read past the actual boundary ("read buffer overflow"), allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

An input validation error in the Sun Microsystems RPC library Services for Unix 3.0 Interix SD, as implemented on Microsoft Windows NT4, 2000, and XP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed fragmented RPC client packets, aka "Denial of service by sending an invalid RPC request."

The Sun Microsystems RPC library Services for Unix 3.0 Interix SD, as implemented on Microsoft Windows NT4, 2000, and XP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service hang) via malformed packet fragments, aka "Improper parameter size check leading to denial of service."

TNS Listener in Oracle Net Services for Oracle 9i 9.2.x and 9.0.x, and Oracle 8i 8.1.x, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang or crash) via a SERVICE_CURLOAD command.

securetar, as used in AMaViS shell script 0.2.1 and earlier, allows users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed TAR file, possibly via an incorrect file size parameter.

Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN) Client software 2.x.x and 3.x before 3.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via TCP packets with source and destination ports of 137 (NETBIOS).

Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator 2.2.x, 3.6(Rel), and 3.x before 3.5.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via (1) malformed or (2) large ISAKMP packets.
