Netbsd : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 6 and 7.99

ftpd before "NetBSD-ftpd 20230930" can leak information about the host filesystem before authentication via an MLSD or MLST command. tnftpd (the portable version of NetBSD ftpd) before 20231001 is also vulnerable.

In NetBSD through 9.2, the IPv6 Flow Label generation algorithm employs a weak cryptographic PRNG.

In NetBSD through 9.2, there is an information leak in the TCP ISN (ISS) generation algorithm.

In NetBSD through 9.2, the IPv4 ID generation algorithm does not use appropriate cryptographic measures.

In NetBSD through 9.2, the IPv6 fragment ID generation algorithm employs a weak cryptographic PRNG.

mail.local in NetBSD versions 6.0 through 6.0.6, 6.1 through 6.1.5, and 7.0 allows local users to change ownership of or append data to arbitrary files on the target system via a symlink attack on the user mailbox.

The fetch_url function in usr.bin/ftp/fetch.c in tnftp, as used in NetBSD 5.1 through 5.1.4, 5.2 through 5.2.2, 6.0 through 6.0.6, and 6.1 through 6.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a | (pipe) character at the end of an HTTP redirect.

The IPv6 implementation in FreeBSD and NetBSD (unknown versions, year 2012 and earlier) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a flood of ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets containing multiple Routing entries.

The IPv6 implementation in FreeBSD and NetBSD (unknown versions, year 2012 and earlier) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a flood of ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2393.

The x86-64 kernel system-call functionality in Xen 4.1.2 and earlier, as used in Citrix XenServer 6.0.2 and earlier and other products; Oracle Solaris 11 and earlier; illumos before r13724; Joyent SmartOS before 20120614T184600Z; FreeBSD before 9.0-RELEASE-p3; NetBSD 6.0 Beta and earlier; Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Gold and SP1; and possibly other operating systems, when running on an Intel processor, incorrectly uses the sysret path in cases where a certain address is not a canonical address, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application. NOTE: because this issue is due to incorrect use of the Intel specification, it should have been split into separate identifiers; however, there was some value in preserving the original mapping of the multi-codebase coordinated-disclosure effort to a single identifier.

Information Disclosure vulnerability in the 802.11 stack, as used in FreeBSD before 8.2 and NetBSD when using certain non-x86 architectures. A signedness error in the IEEE80211_IOC_CHANINFO ioctl allows a local unprivileged user to cause the kernel to copy large amounts of kernel memory back to the user, disclosing potentially sensitive information.

The Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol implementation in the IPv6 stack in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and possibly other BSD-based operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and device hang) by sending many Router Advertisement (RA) messages with different source addresses, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2010-4670.

Multiple stack consumption vulnerabilities in the kernel in NetBSD 4.0, 5.0 before 5.0.3, and 5.1 before 5.1.1, when IPsec is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted (1) IPv4 or (2) IPv6 packet with nested IPComp headers.

The pam_unix module in OpenPAM in NetBSD 4.0 before 4.0.2 and 5.0 before 5.0.1 allows local users to change the current root password if it is already known, even when they are not in the wheel group.

Array index error in the (1) dtoa implementation in dtoa.c (aka pdtoa.c) and the (2) gdtoa (aka new dtoa) implementation in gdtoa/misc.c in libc, as used in multiple operating systems and products including in FreeBSD 6.4 and 7.2, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 4.5, Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, K-Meleon 1.5.3, SeaMonkey 1.1.8, and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large precision value in the format argument to a printf function, which triggers incorrect memory allocation and a heap-based buffer overflow during conversion to a floating-point number.

The pf_test_rule function in OpenBSD Packet Filter (PF), as used in OpenBSD 4.2 through 4.5, NetBSD 5.0 before RC3, MirOS 10 and earlier, and MidnightBSD 0.3-current allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via crafted IP packets that trigger a NULL pointer dereference during translation, related to an IPv4 packet with an ICMPv6 payload.

The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.

ftpd in OpenBSD 4.3, FreeBSD 7.0, NetBSD 4.0, Solaris, and possibly other operating systems interprets long commands from an FTP client as multiple commands, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and execute arbitrary FTP commands via a long ftp:// URI that leverages an existing session from the FTP client implementation in a web browser.

The mld_input function in sys/netinet6/mld6.c in the kernel in NetBSD 4.0, FreeBSD, and KAME, when INET6 is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and panic) via a malformed ICMPv6 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) query with a certain Maximum Response Delay value.

Multiple integer overflows in libc in NetBSD 4.x, FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x, and probably other BSD and Apple Mac OS platforms allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via large values of certain integer fields in the format argument to (1) the strfmon function in lib/libc/stdlib/strfmon.c, related to the GET_NUMBER macro; and (2) the printf function, related to left_prec and right_prec.

Multiple buffer overflows in the ISO network protocol support in the NetBSD kernel 2.0 through 4.0_BETA2, and NetBSD-current before 20070329, allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long parameters to certain functions, as demonstrated by a long sockaddr structure argument to the clnp_route function.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the kernel in NetBSD 3.0, certain versions of FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and possibly other BSD derived operating systems allows local users to have an unknown impact. NOTE: this information is based upon a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. Details will be updated after 20070329.

OpenBSD and NetBSD permit usermode code to kill the display server and write to the X.Org /dev/xf86 device, which allows local users with root privileges to reduce securelevel by replacing the System Management Mode (SMM) handler via a write to an SMRAM address within /dev/xf86 (aka the video card memory-mapped I/O range), and then launching the new handler via a System Management Interrupt (SMI), as demonstrated by a write to Programmed I/O port 0xB2.

ld.so in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and possibly other BSD distributions does not remove certain harmful environment variables, which allows local users to gain privileges by passing certain environment variables to loading processes. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a third party, stating that it is the responsibility of the application to properly sanitize the environment

The NetBSD-current kernel before 20061028 does not properly perform bounds checking of an unspecified userspace parameter in the ptrace system call during a PT_DUMPCORE request, which allows local users to have an unknown impact.
