Mandrakesoft : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 7 and 7.99

xsoldier program allows local users to gain root access via a long argument.

Buffer overflow in GNOME libraries 1.0.8 allows local user to gain root access via a long --espeaker argument in programs such as nethack.

Red Hat userhelper program in the usermode package allows local users to gain root access via PAM and a .. (dot dot) attack.

Buffer overflow in the dump utility in the Linux ext2fs backup package allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in Linux cdrecord allows local users to gain privileges via the dev parameter.

makewhatis in Linux man package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in kon program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via a long -StartupMessage parameter.

Buffer overflow in fld program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via an input file containing long CHARSET_REGISTRY or CHARSET_ENCODING settings.

Kernel logging daemon (klogd) in Linux does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local users to gain root privileges by triggering malformed kernel messages.

The default configuration of the Xsession file in Mandrake Linux 7.1 and 7.0 bypasses the Xauthority access control mechanism with an "xhost + localhost" command, which allows local users to sniff X Windows events and gain privileges.

modprobe in the modutils 2.3.x package on Linux systems allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

Multiple shell programs on various Unix systems, including (1) tcsh, (2) csh, (3) sh, and (4) bash, follow symlinks when processing << redirects (aka here-documents or in-here documents), which allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.

Zope before 2.2.4 does not properly compute local roles, which could allow users to bypass specified access restrictions and gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in sudo earlier than 1.6.3p6 allows local users to gain root privileges.

licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a URL.

Buffer overflow in logging functions of licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header.

Multiple buffer overflows in ePerl before 2.2.14-0.7 allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.

Vulnerability in rpmdrake in Mandrake Linux 8.0 related to insecure temporary file handling.

Packaging error for expect 8.3.3 in Mandrake Linux 8.1 causes expect to search for its libraries in the /home/snailtalk directory before other directories, which could allow a local user to gain root privileges.

Squid before 2.3STABLE5 in HTTP accelerator mode does not enable access control lists (ACLs) when the httpd_accel_host and http_accel_with_proxy off settings are used, which allows attackers to bypass the ACLs and conduct unauthorized activities such as port scanning.

The default installation of Apache before 1.3.19 on Mandrake Linux 7.1 through 8.0 and Linux Corporate Server 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to list the directory index of arbitrary web directories.

Format string vulnerability in stunnel before 3.22 when used in client mode for (1) smtp, (2) pop, or (3) nntp allows remote malicious servers to execute arbitrary code.

Heap corruption vulnerability in the "at" program allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a malformed execution time, which causes at to free the same memory twice.
