Security Vulnerabilities Published In May 2001

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 through 6.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a crafted FTP URL such as "/.#./".

The (1) FTP and (2) Telnet services in Beck GmbH IPC@Chip are shipped with a default password, which allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access.

Sendmail before 8.11.4, and 8.12.0 before 8.12.0.Beta10, allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly corrupt the heap and gain privileges via race conditions in signal handlers.

TWIG 2.6.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized database operations via a SQL injection attack on the id parameter.

Windows 2000 allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges by setting a hardware breakpoint that is handled using global debug registers, which could cause other processes to terminate due to an exception, and allow hijacking of resources such as named pipes.

Computer Associates ARCserveIT 6.61 and 6.63 (also called ARCservIT) allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the temporary files (1) asagent.tmp or (2) inetd.tmp.

Apache before 1.3.20 on Windows and OS/2 systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (GPF) via an HTTP request for a URI that contains a large number of / (slash) or other characters, which causes certain functions to dereference a null pointer.

The Beck GmbH IPC@Chip embedded web server installs the chipcfg.cgi program by default, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive network information via a request to the program.

Beck IPC GmbH IPC@CHIP telnet service does not delay or disconnect users from the service when bad passwords are entered, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute force password guessing attacks.

Beck IPC GmbH IPC@CHIP TelnetD server generates different responses when given valid and invalid login names, which allows remote attackers to determine accounts on the system.

Beck IPC GmbH IPC@CHIP Embedded-Webserver allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long HTTP request.

CesarFTP 0.98b and earlier stores usernames and passwords in plaintext in the settings.ini file, which allows attackers to gain privileges.

Directory traversal vulnerability in CesarFTP 0.98b and earlier allows remote authenticated users (such as anonymous) to read arbitrary files via a GET with a filename that contains a ...%5c (modified dot dot).

Linux CUPS before 1.1.6 does not securely handle temporary files, possibly due to a symlink vulnerability that could allow local users to overwrite files.

Buffer overflows in Linux CUPS before 1.1.6 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

mandb in the man-db package before 2.3.16-3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via the command line options (1) -u or (2) -c, which do not drop privileges and follow symlinks.

pmake before 2.1.35 in Turbolinux 6.05 and earlier is installed with setuid root privileges, which could allow local users to gain privileges by exploiting vulnerabilities in pmake or programs that are used by pmake.

Eudora 5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code when the "Use Microsoft Viewer" option is enabled and the "allow executables in HTML content" option is disabled, via an HTML email with a form that is activated from an image that the attacker spoofs as a link, which causes the user to execute the form and access embedded attachments.

Buffer overflow in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via base-64 encoded data, which is not properly handled when the radix_encode function processes file glob output from the ftpglob function.

Webmin 0.84 and earlier does not properly clear the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION environment variable when the web server is restarted, which makes authentication information available to all CGI programs and allows local users to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in ultimate_source function of man 1.5 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in SpoonFTP 1.0.0.12 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the commands (1) CWD or (2) LIST.

Beck IPC GmbH IPC@CHIP Embedded-Webserver allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a webserver root directory set to system root.

Buffer overflow in CDE Print Viewer (dtprintinfo) allows local users to execute arbitrary code by copying text from the clipboard into the Help window.

Oracle Java Virtual Machine (JVM ) for Oracle 8.1.7 and Oracle Application Server 9iAS Release 1.0.2.0.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the .jsp and .sqljsp file extensions when the server is configured to use the <<ALL FILES>> FilePermission.
