Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In May 2003

Directory traversal vulnerability in thttpd, when using virtual hosting, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences in the Host: header.

stunnel 4.0.3 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via SIGCHLD signal handler race conditions that cause an inconsistency in the child counter.

mod_auth_any package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and other operating systems does not properly escape arguments when calling other programs, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

The Winsock Proxy service in Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 and the Microsoft Firewall service in Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or packet storm) via a spoofed, malformed packet to UDP port 1745.

The ByteCode Verifier component of Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) build 5.0.3809 and earlier, as used in Windows and Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to bypass security checks and execute arbitrary code via a malicious Java applet, aka "Flaw in Microsoft VM Could Enable System Compromise."

Buffer overflow in Windows Kernel allows local users to gain privileges by causing certain error messages to be passed to a debugger.

Buffer overflow in URLMON.DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP response containing long values in (1) Content-type and (2) Content-encoding fields.

The file upload control in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 allows remote attackers to automatically upload files from the local system via a web page containing a script to upload the files.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 does not properly check parameters that are passed during third party rendering, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script, aka the "Third Party Plugin Rendering" vulnerability, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0233.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 does not properly check the Cascading Style Sheet input parameter for Modal dialogs, which allows remote attackers to read files on the local system via a web page containing script that creates a dialog and then accesses the target files, aka "Modal Dialog script execution."

Buffer overflow in the HTTP receiver function (BizTalkHTTPReceive.dll ISAPI) of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain request to the HTTP receiver.

SQL injection vulnerability in the Document Tracking and Administration (DTA) website of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 and 2002 allows remote attackers to execute operating system commands via a request to (1) rawdocdata.asp or (2) RawCustomSearchField.asp containing an embedded SQL statement.

GtkHTML, as included in Evolution before 1.2.4, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain malformed messages.

psbanner in the LPRng package allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symbolic link attack on the /tmp/before file.

decrypt_msg for the Gaim-Encryption GAIM plugin 1.15 and earlier does not properly validate a message length parameter, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a negative length, which overwrites arbitrary heap memory with a zero byte.

DirectoryServices in MacOS X trusts the PATH environment variable to locate and execute the touch command, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by modifying the PATH to point to a directory containing a malicious touch program.

xfsdq in xfsdump does not create quota information files securely, which allows local users to gain root privileges.

The LDAP name service (nsd) in IRIX 6.5.19 and earlier does not properly verify if the USERPASSWORD attribute has been provided by an LDAP server, which could allow attackers to log in without a password.

OpenSSH-portable (OpenSSH) 3.6.1p1 and earlier with PAM support enabled immediately sends an error message when a user does not exist, which allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames via a timing attack.

Multiple buffer overflows in Samba before 2.2.8a may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, as discovered by the Samba team and a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0201.

Mac OS X before 10.2.5 allows guest users to modify the permissions of the DropBox folder and read unauthorized files.

Buffer overflow in the call_trans2open function in trans2.c for Samba 2.2.x before 2.2.8a, 2.0.10 and earlier 2.0.x versions, and Samba-TNG before 0.3.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

KDE 2 and KDE 3.1.1 and earlier 3.x versions allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) PostScript (PS) or (2) PDF files, related to missing -dPARANOIDSAFER and -dSAFER arguments when using the kghostview Ghostscript viewer.

gkrellm-newsticker gkrellm plugin before 0.3-3.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the ticker title of a URI.

gkrellm-newsticker gkrellm plugin before 0.3-3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via (1) link or (2) title elements that contain multiple lines.
