A vulnerability in Java Web Start may allow an untrusted application to grant itself permissions to overwrite any
file that is writable by the user running the application.
This would include the user's .java.policy file which would allow the application to invoke applets or Java Web
Start applications that can execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the untrusted application.
It's recommended to install an updated version, which is available now.

Several vulnerabilities have been reported on the PHP Hypertext Processing
Engine provided with the Secure Web Server for HP Tru64 UNIX Powered by Apache
(SWS) and HP Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX (IX).
The vulnerabilities could be exploited by remote users to execute arbitrary

An unprivileged local user may be able to exhaust all available kernel
memory and cause the system to hang due to a security vulnerability in
the TCP Loopback/Fusion implementation in Solaris 10.
Due to security vulnerabilities related to the handling of memory
buffers containing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) records, an unprivileged
local or remote user may be able to panic a Solaris 10 system that has
been configured to act as a SSL proxy.
An unprivileged local user may be able to execute arbitrary code or
commands with the privileges of the dtsession(1X) Common Desktop
Environment (CDE) Session Manager. The dtsession(1X) CDE Session
Manager runs with root privileges.

crash.
A local attacker with the ability to run scripts on the Apache HTTP Server
could manipulate the scoreboard and cause arbitrary processes to be

Java Server Faces, JSF, is a framework used to create server side GUI Web applications.
Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation's MyFaces Tomahawk JSF
framework could allow an attacker to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
The code responsible for parsing HTTP requests is vulnerable to an XSS vulnerability.
When parsing the 'autoscroll' parameter from a POST or GET request, the value of this variable is directly
inserted into JavaScript that is sent back to the client. This allows an attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript
in the context of the affected domain of the MyFaces application being targeted.
An update to MyFaces Tomahawk version 1.1.6 solves this issue.

open a specially crafted RAS file.
Two problems have been discovered with lighttpd, a fast webserver with minimal memory footprint.
They could allow a remote Denial-of-Service.
Both vulnerabilities can be fixed by installing the appropriate update.

Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) provide a system whereby administrators can set up authentication policies
without having to recompile programs that handle authentication.
A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled certain SG_IO commands.
Console users with access to certain device files had the ability to damage recordable CD drives.
Another vulnerability has been found in the way pam_console set console device permissions.
It is possible for various console devices to retain ownership of the console user after logging out,
possibly leaking information to an unauthorized user.
An update solves these potential problems.

The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password
format, as well as programs for managing user and group accounts.
A flaw has been found in the useradd tool in shadow-utils. A new user's mailbox, when created, could have random
permissions for a short period. This could allow a local attacker to read or modify the mailbox.
An update addresses this issue.

CTA installations on Mac OS X show a vulnerability which can allow an unauthorized user to access the
"System Preferences" window which can be used to change passwords of all non-root user accounts including
admin accounts.
The "System Preferences" window becomes available to the unauthorized user because of the "user notifications" feature within CTA.
These messages are sent from Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) to CTA upon completion of initial posture
validation or upon posture revalidation. These notifications are displayed as pop-up messages on the desktop,
or login screen, of the system on which CTA is installed.
CTA release 2.1.104.0 or later resolves this vulnerability.
Workarounds are described in the advisory, too.

OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) applications, libraries and development tools.
A vulnerability has been found in the way OpenLDAP handles selfwrite access.
Users with selfwrite access were able to modify the distinguished name of any user.
Users with selfwrite access should only be able to modify their own distinguished name.
A memory leak bug has been found in OpenLDAP's ldap_start_tls_s() function.
An application using this function could result in an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition, crashing the application.
Red Hat provides an update, which should be installed.

An iframe is an HTML element which allows an HTML document to be embedded inside a master HTML document.
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4 and earlier allows cross-domain access to an iframe.
This vulnerability could allow an attacker to interact with a web site in a different domain.
The attacker could read content and cookies, capture keystrokes, and modify content.
Since there is no patch available at the moment, it's recommended to disable Java Script.
