Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In October 2005 CVSS score >= 6

Windows Shell for Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a shortcut (.lnk) file with long font properties that lead to a buffer overflow in the Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem (CSRSS), a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2118.

Format string vulnerability in the Java user interface service (bpjava-msvc) daemon for VERITAS NetBackup Data and Business Center 4.5FP and 4.5MP, and NetBackup Enterprise/Server/Client 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the COMMAND_LOGON_TO_MSERVER command.

Integer signedness error in the administrative interface for Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine 4.0 and 4.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP headers with negative values, which lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Kaspersky Antivirus (KAV) 5.0 and Kaspersky Personal Security Suite 1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a CAB file with large records after the header.

Buffer overflow vulnerability in the unicode_to_bytes in the Service Location Protocol (srvloc) dissector (packet-srvloc.c) in Ethereal allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a srvloc packet with a modified length value.

The CGIwrap program before 3.9 on Debian GNU/Linux uses an incorrect minimum value of 100 for a UID to determine whether it can perform a seteuid operation, which could allow attackers to execute code as other system UIDs that are greater than the minimum value, which should be 1000 on Debian systems.

Integer overflow in Skype client before 1.4.x.84 on Windows, before 1.3.x.17 on Mac OS, before 1.2.x.18 on Linux, and 1.1.x.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted network data with a large Object Counter value, which leads to a resultant heap-based buffer overflow.

The LPD service in HP-UX 10.20 11.11 (11i) and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters ("`" or single backquote) in a request that is not properly handled when an error occurs, as demonstrated by killing the connection, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1473.

The FTP server in HP-UX 10.20, B.11.00, and B.11.11, allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories as root by running the LIST command before logging in.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the HTrjis function in Lynx 2.8.6 and earlier allows remote NNTP servers to execute arbitrary code via certain article headers containing Asian characters that cause Lynx to add extra escape (ESC) characters.

Buffer overflow in Skype for Windows 1.1.x.0 through 1.4.x.83 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) callto:// and (2) skype:// links, or (3) a non-standard VCARD, possibly due to an underlying error in the SysUtils.WideFmtStr Delphi routine.

The OLE2 unpacker in clamd in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) 0.87-1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a DOC file with an invalid property tree, which triggers an infinite recursion in the ole2_walk_property_tree function.

COM+ in Microsoft Windows does not properly "create and use memory structures," which allows local users or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

The Client Service for NetWare (CSNW) on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and Sp2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code due to an "unchecked buffer" when processing certain crafted network messages.

Buffer overflow in Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), as used in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Exchange Server, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code when CDOSYS or CDOEX processes an e-mail message with a large header name, as demonstrated using the "Content-Type" string.

Ruby 1.6.x up to 1.6.8, 1.8.x up to 1.8.2, and 1.9.0 development up to 2005-09-01 allows attackers to bypass safe level and taint flag protections and execute disallowed code when Ruby processes a program through standard input (stdin).

Format string vulnerability in the ParseBannerAndCapability function in main.c for up-imapproxy 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 allows remote IMAP servers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a banner or capability line.

The Java extensions for QuickTime 6.52 and earlier in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 allow untrusted applets to call arbitrary functions in system libraries, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Buffer overflow in ImageIO for Apple Mac OS X 10.4.2, as used by applications such as WebCore and Safari, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF file.

Buffer overflow in the mail_valid_net_parse_work function in mail.c for Washington's IMAP Server (UW-IMAP) before imap-2004g allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a mailbox name containing a single double-quote (") character without a closing quote, which causes bytes after the double-quote to be copied into a buffer indefinitely.

Stack-based buffer overflow in sendmail in XMail before 1.22 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long -t command line option.

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the GNOME Data Access library for GNOME2 (libgda2) 1.2.1 and earlier allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Buffer overflow in the get_string_ahref function for ProZilla 1.3.7.4 and possibly earlier, with the -ftpsearch option enabled, allows remote servers to execute arbitrary code via a search response with a crafted string in the HREF field of an <A> tag.

The mod_auth_shadow module 1.0 through 1.5 and 2.0 for Apache with AuthShadow enabled uses shadow authentication for all locations that use the require group directive, even when other authentication mechanisms are specified, which might allow remote authenticated users to bypass security restrictions.

Format string vulnerability in input_cdda.c in xine-lib 1-beta through 1-beta 3, 1-rc, 1.0 through 1.0.2, and 1.1.1 allows remote servers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in metadata in CDDB server responses when the victim plays a CD.
