1 CVE-2011-1658 264 +Priv 2011-04-08 2011-10-25
3.7
 None Local High Not required Partial Partial Partial
ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier expands the $ORIGIN dynamic string token when RPATH is composed entirely of this token, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program with this RPATH value, and then executing the program with a crafted value for the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3847 and CVE-2011-0536. NOTE: it is not expected that any standard operating-system distribution would ship an applicable setuid or setgid program.

3.3
 None Local Medium Not required Partial Partial None
The addmntent function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier does not report an error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file, which makes it easier for local users to trigger corruption of this file, as demonstrated by writes from a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0296.

3.7
 None Local High Not required Partial Partial Partial
Race condition in GNU nano before 2.2.4, when run by root to edit a file that is not owned by root, allows local user-assisted attackers to change the ownership of arbitrary files via vectors related to the creation of backup files.
7 CVE-2009-5082 59 2011-06-30 2011-07-12
3.3
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial Partial
The (1) configure and (2) config.guess scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.20.1 on Openwall GNU/*/Linux (aka Owl) improperly create temporary files upon a failure of the mktemp function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
8 CVE-2009-5081 59 2011-06-30 2011-07-12
3.3
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial Partial
The (1) config.guess, (2) contrib/groffer/perl/groffer.pl, and (3) contrib/groffer/perl/roff2.pl scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier use an insufficient number of X characters in the template argument to the tempfile function, which makes it easier for local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0969.
9 CVE-2009-5080 59 2011-06-30 2011-07-12
3.3
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial Partial
The (1) contrib/eqn2graph/eqn2graph.sh, (2) contrib/grap2graph/grap2graph.sh, and (3) contrib/pic2graph/pic2graph.sh scripts in GNU troff (aka groff) 1.21 and earlier do not properly handle certain failed attempts to create temporary directories, which might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in a temporary directory, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-1296.

3.3
 None Local Medium Not required None Partial Partial
contrib/pdfmark/pdfroff.sh in GNU troff (aka groff) before 1.21 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a pdf#####.tmp temporary file.
12 CVE-2006-0353 200 DoS +Info 2006-01-22 2011-05-19
3.6
 None Local Low Not required Partial None Partial
unix_random.c in lshd for lsh 2.0.1 leaks file descriptors related to the randomness generator, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by truncating the seed file, which prevents the server from starting, or obtain sensitive seed information that could be used to crack keys.
13 CVE-2005-4268 119 DoS Exec Code Overflow 2005-12-15 2011-07-18
3.7
 User Local High Not required Partial Partial Partial
Buffer overflow in cpio 2.6-8.FC4 on 64-bit platforms, when creating a cpio archive, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a file whose size is represented by more than 8 digits.

3.7
 None Local High Not required Partial Partial Partial
Race condition in cpio 2.6 and earlier 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 cpio after the decompression is complete.
15 CVE-2005-1039 2005-05-02 2008-09-05
3.7
 None Local High Not required Partial Partial Partial
Race condition in Core Utilities (coreutils) 5.2.1, when (1) mkdir, (2) mknod, or (3) mkfifo is running with the -m switch, allows local users to modify permissions of other files.
