Redhat » Linux : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 2 and 3.99

Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 on the x86_64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via unspecified vectors related to the get_gate_vma function and the fuser command.

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.

Memory leak in the ip_options_get function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by repeatedly calling the ip_cmsg_send function.

Integer overflow in the vc_resize function in the Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 before 2.6.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a short new screen value, which leads to a buffer overflow.

/proc/tty/driver/serial in Linux 2.4.x reveals the exact number of characters used in serial links, which could allow local users to obtain potentially sensitive information such as the length of passwords.

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.

rsync, when running in daemon mode, does not properly call setgroups before dropping privileges, which could provide supplemental group privileges to local users, who could then read certain files that would otherwise be disallowed.

Memory leak in SNMP in Squid 2.4 STABLE3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

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.

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.

Vulnerability in (1) pine before 4.33 and (2) the pico editor, included with pine, allows local users local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

glibc 2.1.9x and earlier does not properly clear the RESOLV_HOST_CONF, HOSTALIASES, or RES_OPTIONS environmental variables when executing setuid/setgid programs, which could allow local users to read arbitrary files.

When using the LD_PRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.

The tmpwatch utility in Red Hat Linux forks a new process for each directory level, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating deeply nested directories in /tmp or /var/tmp/.

Linux tmpwatch --fuser option allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by creating files whose names contain shell metacharacters.

Vulnerability in Mandrake Linux usermode package allows local users to to reboot or halt the system.

Linux gpm program allows local users to cause a denial of service by flooding the /dev/gpmctl device with STREAM sockets.

Linux OpenLDAP server allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

X fontserver xfs allows local users to cause a denial of service via malformed input to the server.

The X font server xfs in Red Hat Linux 6.x allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via a malformed request.

Linux printtool sets the permissions of printer configuration files to be world-readable, which allows local attackers to obtain printer share passwords.

Sudo 1.5 in Debian Linux 2.1 and Red Hat 6.0 allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files by attempting to execute the target filename as a program, which generates a different error message when the file does not exist.

ifdhcpc-done script for configuring DHCP on Red Hat Linux 5 allows local users to append text to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the dhcplog file.

dumpreg in Red Hat Linux 5.1 opens /dev/mem with O_RDWR access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by redirecting fd 1 (stdout) to the kernel.

Linuxconf on Red Hat Linux 6.0 and earlier does not properly disable PAM-based access to the shutdown command, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service.
