Redhat : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 3 and 3.99

apmscript in Apmd in Red Hat 7.2 "Enigma" allows local users to create or change the modification dates of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the LOW_POWER temporary file, which could be used to cause a denial of service, e.g. by creating /etc/nologin and disabling logins.

GNU Enscript 1.6.1 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files of the Enscript user via a symlink attack on temporary files.

A patch for shadow-utils 20000902 causes the useradd command to create a mail spool files with read/write privileges of the new user's group (mode 660), which allows other users in the same group to read or modify the new user's incoming email.

Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.

The raw_sendmsg function in the Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.13.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (change hardware state) or read from arbitrary memory via crafted input.

Integer overflow in the FontFileInitTable function in X.Org libXfont before 20070403 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long first line in the fonts.dir file, which results in a heap overflow.

pam_console does not properly restore ownership for certain console devices when there are multiple users logged into the console and one user logs out, which might allow local users to gain privileges.

The audit_syscall_entry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x86_64 platform does not properly handle (1) a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or (2) a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted syscalls, a related issue to CVE-2009-0342 and CVE-2009-0343.

In RHEV-M VDC 2.2.0, it was found that the SSL certificate was not verified when using the client-side Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager interface (a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) XAML browser application) to connect to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. An attacker on the local network could use this flaw to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack, tricking the user into thinking they are viewing the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager when the content is actually attacker-controlled, or modifying actions a user requested Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to perform.

yum-rhn-plugin in Red Hat Network Client Tools (aka rhn-client-tools) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and Fedora uses world-readable permissions for the /var/spool/up2date/loginAuth.pkl file, which allows local users to access the Red Hat Network profile, and possibly prevent future security updates, by leveraging authentication data from this file.

JBoss Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) before 4.7 CP02 in JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform before 5.0.2 does not properly consider the security domain with which a service is secured, which might allow remote attackers to gain privileges by executing a service.

Race condition in the SPICE (aka spice-xpi) plug-in 2.2 for Firefox allows local users to obtain sensitive information, and conduct man-in-the-middle attacks, by providing a UNIX socket for communication between this plug-in and the client (aka qspice-client) in qspice 0.3.0, and then accessing this socket.

The SPICE (aka spice-xpi) plug-in 2.2 for Firefox allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on an unspecified log file.

389 Directory Server before 1.2.7.1 (aka Red Hat Directory Server 8.2) and HP-UX Directory Server before B.08.10.03, when audit logging is enabled, logs the Directory Manager password (nsslapd-rootpw) in cleartext when changing cn=config:nsslapd-rootpw, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the log.

The SPICE Firefox plug-in (spice-xpi) 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, and possibly other versions allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the usbrdrctl log file, which has a predictable name.

kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allows local users to spoof the uid and pid of a signal sender via a sigqueueinfo system call.

libvirtd in libvirt before 0.9.0 does not use thread-safe error reporting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by causing multiple threads to report errors at the same time.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (RHEV-M) before 3.1, in certain unspecified conditions, does not lock the desktop screen between SPICE sessions, which allows local users with access to a virtual machine to gain access to other users' desktop sessions via unspecified vectors.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web interface in Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 5.4.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the Description field of the asset tag in a Custom Info page.

Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (JON) before 2.4.2 does not properly enforce "modify resource" permissions for remote authenticated users when deleting a plug-in configuration update from the group connection properties history, which prevents such activities from being recorded in the audit trail.

Red Hat JBoss Operations Network (JON) before 3.0.1 uses 0777 permissions for the root directory when installing a remote client, which allows local users to read or modify subdirectories and files within the root directory, as demonstrated by obtaining JON credentials.

The clone_file function in transfer.c in Augeas before 1.0.0, when copy_if_rename_fails is set and EXDEV or EBUSY is returned by the rename function, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and obtain sensitive information via a bind mount on the (1) .augsave or (2) destination file when using the backup save option, or (3) .augnew file when using the newfile save option.

An issue exists in the property replacements feature in any descriptor in JBoxx AS 7.1.1 ignores java security policies

JGroups diagnostics service in JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform before 5.2.2, SOA Platform before 5.3.0, and BRMS Platform before 5.3.0, is enabled without authentication when started by the JGroups channel, which allows remote attackers in adjacent networks to read diagnostics information via a crafted IP multicast.

libvirt, possibly before 0.9.12, does not properly assign USB devices to virtual machines when multiple devices have the same vendor and product ID, which might cause the wrong device to be associated with a guest and might allow local users to access unintended USB devices.
