Redhat » Linux » 7.3 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score >= 4

The bluez_sock_create function in the Bluetooth stack for Linux kernel 2.4.6 through 2.4.30-rc1 and 2.6 through 2.6.11.5 allows local users to gain privileges via (1) socket or (2) socketpair call with a negative protocol value.

Mozilla allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash from null dereference or infinite loop) via a web page that contains a (1) TEXTAREA, (2) INPUT, (3) FRAMESET or (4) IMG tag followed by a null character and some trailing characters, as demonstrated by mangleme.

Multiple integer overflows in the image handler for imlib 1.9.14 and earlier, which is used by gkrellm and several window managers, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via certain image files.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in imlib 1.9.14 and earlier, which is used by gkrellm and several window managers, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and execute arbitrary code via certain image files.

Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to perform cross-domain scripting and possibly execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to drag and drop javascript: links to a frame or page in another domain.

Integer overflow in the bitmap (BMP) decoder for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via wide bitmap files that trigger heap-based buffer overflows.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the writeGroup function in nsVCardObj.cpp for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed VCard attachments that are not properly handled when previewing a message.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) the "Send page" functionality, (2) certain responses from a malicious POP3 server, or (3) a link containing a non-ASCII hostname.

The SSL/TLS handshaking code in OpenSSL 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c, when using Kerberos ciphersuites, does not properly check the length of Kerberos tickets during a handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that causes an out-of-bounds read.

OpenSSL 0.9.6 before 0.9.6d does not properly handle unknown message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop), as demonstrated using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool.

The do_change_cipher_spec function in OpenSSL 0.9.6c to 0.9.6k, and 0.9.7a to 0.9.7c, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that triggers a null dereference.

The RPC code in Linux kernel 2.4 sets the reuse flag when sockets are created, which could allow local users to bind to UDP ports that are used by privileged services such as nfsd.

Various PDF viewers including (1) Adobe Acrobat 5.06 and (2) Xpdf 1.01 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an embedded hyperlink.

The TCP/IP fragment reassembly handling in the Linux kernel 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via certain packets that cause a large number of hash table collisions.

Unknown vulnerability in GNU Ghostscript before 7.07 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands, even when -dSAFER is enabled, via a PostScript file that causes the commands to be executed from a malicious print job.

The mxcsr code in Linux kernel 2.4 allows attackers to modify CPU state registers via a malformed address.

Unknown vulnerability in the TTY layer of the Linux kernel 2.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service ("kernel oops").

tcpdump does not properly drop privileges to the pcap user when starting up.

lv reads a .lv file from the current working directory, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands as other lv users by placing malicious .lv files into other directories.

Kerberos FTP client allows remote FTP sites to execute arbitrary code via a pipe (|) character in a filename that is retrieved by the client.

Memory leak in ypdb_open in yp_db.c for ypserv before 2.5 in the NIS package 3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of requests for a map that does not exist.

The default configuration of the pam_xauth module forwards MIT-Magic-Cookies to new X sessions, which could allow local users to gain root privileges by stealing the cookies from a temporary .xauth file, which is created with the original user's credentials after root uses su.

Buffer overflow in KON kon2 0.3.9b and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -Coding command line argument.

dvips converter for Postscript files in the tetex package calls the system() function insecurely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via certain print jobs, possibly involving fonts.

setpwnam.c in the util-linux package, as included in Red Hat Linux 7.3 and earlier, and other operating systems, does not properly lock a temporary file when modifying /etc/passwd, which may allow local users to gain privileges via a complex race condition that uses an open file descriptor in utility programs such as chfn and chsh.
