Security Vulnerabilities Published In February 2001

Cisco IOS 12.1(3) and 12.1(3)T allows remote attackers to read and modify device configuration data via the cable-docsis read-write community string used by the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) standard.

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in checklogin.php in phpSecurePages 0.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by modifying the cfgProgDir parameter to reference a URL on a remote web server that contains the code.

Buffer overflow in MySQL before 3.23.33 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long drop database request.

Buffer overflow in libmysqlclient.so in MySQL 3.23.33 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long host parameter.

Buffer overflow in the text editor functionality in HP-UX 10.01 through 11.04 on HP9000 Series 700 and Series 800 allows local users to cause a denial of service ("system availability") via text editors such as (1) e, (2) ex, (3) vi, (4) edit, (5) view, and (6) vedit.

inetd in Compaq Tru64 UNIX 5.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (network connection loss) by causing one of the services handled by inetd to core dump during startup, which causes inetd to stop accepting connections to all of its services.

Cisco IOS 12.0(5)XU through 12.1(2) allows remote attackers to read system administration and topology information via an "snmp-server host" command, which creates a readable "community" community string if one has not been previously created.

Vulnerabilities in phpMyChat before 0.14.4 allow local and possibly remote attackers to gain privileges by specifying an alternate library file in the L (localization) parameter.

Multiple vulnerabilities in phpMyChat before 0.14.5 exist in (1) input.php3, (2) handle_inputH.php3, or (3) index.lib.php3 with unknown consequences, possibly related to user spoofing or improperly initialized variables.

The "mxcsr P4" vulnerability in the Linux kernel before 2.2.17-14, when running on certain Intel CPUs, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system halt).

Vulnerability in inetd server in HP-UX 11.04 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service when the "swait" state is used by a server.

Vulnerability in top in HP-UX 11.04 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files owned by the "sys" group.

MDaemon Pro 3.5.1 and earlier allows local users to bypass the "lock server" security setting by pressing the Cancel button at the password prompt, then pressing the enter key.

CoffeeCup Direct and Free FTP clients uses weak encryption to store passwords in the FTPServers.ini file, which could allow attackers to easily decrypt the passwords.

"Multiple Users" Control Panel in Mac OS 9 allows Normal users to gain Owner privileges by removing the Users & Groups Data File, which effectively removes the Owner password and allows the Normal user to log in as the Owner account without a password.

Vulnerability in fetchmail 5.5.0-2 and earlier in the AUTHENTICATE GSSAPI command.

bslist.cgi mailing list script allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the email address.

bsguest.cgi guestbook script allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the email address.

Buffer overflow in Bea WebLogic Server before 5.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long URL that begins with a ".." string.

The Web interface for Infinite Interchange 3.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large POST request.

FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) in IIS 4.0 and 5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed form, aka the "Malformed Web Form Submission" vulnerability.

catman in Solaris 2.7 and 2.8 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the sman_PID temporary file.

Buffer overflow in kdc_reply_cipher of libkrb (Kerberos 4 authentication library) in NetBSD 1.5 and FreeBSD 4.2 and earlier, as used in Kerberised applications such as telnetd and login, allows local users to gain root privileges.

Vulnerability in telnetd in FreeBSD 1.5 allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying critical environmental variables that affect the behavior of telnetd.

A function in Internet Explorer 5.0 through 5.5 does not properly verify the domain of a frame within a browser window, which allows a remote attacker to read client files, aka a new variant of the "Frame Domain Verification" vulnerability.
