Stack-based buffer overflow in the random number generator (RNG) implementation in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 might allow local root users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by setting the default wakeup threshold to a value greater than the output pool size, which triggers writing random numbers to the stack by the pool transfer function involving "bound check ordering". NOTE: this issue might only cross privilege boundaries in environments that have granular assignment of privileges for root.

The sysfs_readdir function in the Linux kernel 2.6, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4.5 and other distributions, allows users to cause a denial of service (kernel OOPS) by dereferencing a null pointer to an inode in a dentry.

The init.d script for the X.Org X11 xfs font server on various Linux distributions might allow local users to change the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/.font-unix temporary file.

Unspecified vulnerability in the linux_audit_record_event function in OpenSSH 4.3p2, as used on Fedora Core 6 and possibly other systems, allows remote attackers to write arbitrary characters to an audit log via a crafted username. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

usr/log.c in iscsid in open-iscsi (iscsi-initiator-utils) before 2.0-865 uses a semaphore with insecure permissions (world-writable/world-readable) for managing log messages using shared memory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) by grabbing the semaphore.

usr/mgmt_ipc.c in iscsid in open-iscsi (iscsi-initiator-utils) before 2.0-865 checks the client's UID on the listening AF_LOCAL socket instead of the new connection, which allows remote attackers to access the management interface and cause a denial of service (iscsid exit or iSCSI connection loss).

Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2008-0591. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2008-0591. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2008-0591 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.5 does not prevent use of document.write to replace an IFRAME (1) during the load stage or (2) in the case of an about:blank frame, which allows remote attackers to display arbitrary HTML or execute certain JavaScript code, as demonstrated by code that intercepts keystroke values from window.event, aka the "promiscuous IFRAME access bug," a related issue to CVE-2006-4568.

Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to read files in the local Firefox installation directory via a resource:// URI.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.4 on Windows allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via ..%5C (dot dot encoded backslash) sequences in a resource:// URI.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in filedetails.php in WebSVN 2.0rc4, and possibly earlier, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the path parameter.

GNU screen 4.0.3 allows local users to unlock the screen via a CTRL-C sequence at the password prompt. NOTE: multiple third parties report inability to reproduce this issue

Unspecified vulnerability in libclamav/phishcheck.c in ClamAV before 0.90.3 and 0.91 before 0.91rc1, when running on Solaris, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via unknown vectors related to the isURL function and regular expressions.

libclamav/others.c in ClamAV before 0.90.3 and 0.91 before 0.91rc1 uses insecure permissions for temporary files that are created by the cli_gentempstream function in clamd/clamdscan, which might allow local users to read sensitive files.

unsp.c in ClamAV before 0.90.3 and 0.91 before 0.91rc1 does not properly calculate the end of a certain buffer, with unknown impact and remote attack vectors.

PHP 5 before 5.2.3 does not enforce the open_basedir or safe_mode restriction in certain cases, which allows context-dependent attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files by checking if the readfile function returns a string. NOTE: this issue might also involve the realpath function.

Format string vulnerability in the inc_put_error function in src/inc.c in Sylpheed 2.4.4, and Sylpheed-Claws (Claws Mail) 1.9.100 and 2.10.0, allows remote POP3 servers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in crafted replies.

Format string vulnerability in the helptags_one function in src/ex_cmds.c in Vim 6.4 and earlier, and 7.x up to 7.1, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a help-tags tag in a help file, related to the helptags command.

The parseIrcUrl function in src/kvirc/kernel/kvi_ircurl.cpp in KVIrc 3.2.0 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an (1) irc:// or (2) irc6:// URI.

Integer overflow in the seek_to_and_unpack_pixeldata function in the psd.c plugin in Gimp 2.2.15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PSD file that contains a large (1) width or (2) height value.
