GNU : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2005

Buffer overflow in reset_vars in config/tc-crx.c in the GNU as (gas) assembler in Free Software Foundation GNU Binutils before 20050714 allows user-assisted attackers to have an unknown impact via a crafted .s file.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the as_bad function in messages.c in the GNU as (gas) assembler in Free Software Foundation GNU Binutils before 20050721 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .c file with crafted inline assembly code.

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.

Mailman 2.1.4 through 2.1.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a message that causes the server to "fail with an Overflow on bad date data in a processed message," a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3573.

Scrubber.py in Mailman 2.1.5-8 does not properly handle UTF8 character encodings in filenames of e-mail attachments, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in GNUMP3D before 2.9.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3424.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in GNUMP3D before 2.9.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via 404 error pages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3425.

Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU Gnump3d before 2.9.8 has unknown impact via "CGI parameters, and cookie values".

GNU Gnump3d before 2.9.8 allows local users to modify or delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the index.lok temporary file.

The (1) cfmailfilter and (2) cfcron.in files for cfengine 1.6.5 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2960.

Directory traversal vulnerability in GNUMP3D before 2.9.6 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted sequences such as "/.//..//////././", which is collapsed into "/.././" after ".." and "//" sequences are removed.

The sort_offline function for texindex in texinfo 4.8 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

cfengine 1.6.5 and 2.1.16 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files used by vicf.in, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3137.

Format string vulnerability in search.c in the imap4d server in GNU Mailutils 0.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the SEARCH command.

Tar 1.15.1 does not properly warn the user when extracting setuid or setgid files, which may allow local users or remote attackers to gain privileges.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in guestbook.php in phpBook 1.46 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the admin parameter.

gen-index in GNATS 4.0, 4.1.0, and possibly earlier versions, when installed setuid, does not properly check files passed to the -o argument and opens the file with write access, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files.

The original patch for a GNU tar directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2002-0399) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 2.1 uses an "incorrect optimization" that allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a crafted tar file, probably involving "/../" sequences with a leading "/".

The sql_escape_string function in auth/sql.c for the mailutils SQL authentication module does not properly quote the "\" (backslash) character, which is used as an escape character and makes the module vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.

gdb before 6.3 searches the current working directory to load the .gdbinit configuration file, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands as the user running gdb.

Integer overflow in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library for gdb before 6.3, binutils, elfutils, and possibly other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object file that specifies a large number of section headers, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Format string vulnerability in imap4d server in GNU Mailutils 0.5 and 0.6, and other versions before 0.6.90, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the command tag for IMAP commands.

The imap4d server for GNU Mailutils 0.5 and 0.6, and other versions before 0.6.90, allows authenticated remote users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large range value in the FETCH command.

Integer overflow in the fetch_io function of the imap4d server in GNU Mailutils 0.5 and 0.6, and other versions before 0.6.90, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a partial message request with a large value in the END parameter, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Buffer overflow in the header_get_field_name function in header.c for GNU Mailutils 0.5 and 0.6, and other versions before 0.6.90, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted e-mail.
