SUN : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In August 2001

ns6install installation script for Netscape 6.01 on Solaris, and other versions including 6.2.1 beta, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Java Plugin 1.4 for JRE 1.3 executes signed applets even if the certificate is expired, which could allow remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via an applet that has been signed by an expired certificate.

Sun Chili!Soft ASP has weak permissions on various configuration files, which allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges and create a denial of service.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Sun Chili!Soft ASP on multiple Unixes allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files above the web root via a '..' (dot dot) attack in the sample script 'codebrws.asp'.

Sun Chili!Soft 3.5.2 on Linux and 3.6 on AIX creates a default admin username and password in the default installation, which can allow a remote attacker to gain additional privileges.

Vulnerability in iPlanet Web Server 4.X in HP-UX 11.04 (VVOS) with VirtualVault A.04.00 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via the HTTPS service.

Buffer overflow in the kcsSUNWIOsolf.so library in Solaris 7 and 8 allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the KCMS_PROFILES environment variable, e.g. as demonstrated using the kcms_configure program.

kcms_configure as included with Solaris 7 and 8 allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a buffer overflow in a command line argument.

Buffer overflow in mailx in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a long '-F' command line option.

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

Buffer overflow in dtmail in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via the MAIL environment variable.

Buffer overflow in the Xview library as used by mailtool in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain privileges via the OPENWINHOME environment variable.
