Local exploitation of an information disclosure vulnerability within the ALSA driver included in the Linux Kernel
allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory.
The Linux Kernel maintainers have addressed this vulnerability within version 2.6.22.8.
|
|
|
A security vulnerability with the way StarOffice/StarSuite 6, 7, and 8 process TIFF files may allow a remote
unprivileged user who provides a StarOffice/StarSuite document that is opened by a local user to execute arbitrary
commands on the system with the privileges of the user running StarOffice/StarSuite.
New releases fix this vulnerability.
|
|
|
A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager Express. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists in the dsmcad.exe process bound by default on TCP port 1581.
During HTTP header parsing, a host parameter of sufficient length will trigger an overflow through a call to vswprintf().
The call overflows into imported function pointers which are later called.
Exploitation of this issue can result in arbitrary code execution.
IBM has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.

As reported before, a security vulnerability may allow arbitrary java script commands to be run.
Now, also for Sun Solaris 10 a patch is available.
|
|
|
Remote exploitation of an authentication bypass vulnerability in Computer Associates Inc.'s ARCServe Backup
for Laptops and Desktops allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability specifically exists since the command handlers that service network requests do not
check to see if the peer is authenticated.
Using this vulnerability, an attacker is able to upload arbitrary files to the server.
This results in the execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
Additionally, several buffer overflow vulnerabilities allow the same kind of exploitation.
CA has provided updates to address the vulnerabilities.

ImageMagick is a suite of image manipulation tools that are sometimes used by other applications for processing image files.
Remote exploitation of multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in ImageMagick, as included in various vendors' operating
system distributions, allows attackers to crash applications using the ImageMagick library,
and in some cases, execute arbitrary code.
Several integer overflow vulnerabilities have been identified in ImageMagick's handling of various file formats.
By creating a specially crafted DCM, DIB, XBM, XCF, or XWD image file, an attacker can cause a heap buffer of
insufficient size to be allocated. This results in a heap-based buffer overflow.
The ImageMagick maintainers have addressed these vulnerabilities with the release of version 6.3.5-9.

Apple QuickTime is a media player that is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X.
Apple QuickTime includes browser plugins for Internet Explorer, Safari, and Netscape-compatible browsers.
QuickTime includes the ability for developers to control how QuickTime movies are launched.
To specify these parameters, developers can create QuickTime link (.qtl) files.
QuickTime link files can be embedded in web pages and launched automatically when a user visits a website.
Apple QuickTime incorrectly determines the command line used to launch the default web browser on
Microsoft Windows systems. Rather than using the ShellExecute method, QuickTime determines the default handler
for .HTM files and then crafts its own command line for the registered application. Any protective flags in the registered file handler are stripped out by QuickTime.
Current proof-of-concept code targets systems where Mozilla Firefox is the default handler for .HTM files. Other applications are also affected by this vulnerability, although the impact may vary based on what command line parameters the application accepts.
So an attacker might be able to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable system.
Please regard the workarounds described in the advisories, since an update is not available yet.

Some vulnerabilities have been found in MySQL, a relational database.
A flaw in MySQL's authentication protocol allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to send a specially crafted
authentication request to the MySQL server causing it to crash.
A remote authenticated user can obtain sensitive information like e.g. the table structure due to no privileges
necessary for a CREATE TABLE LIKE statement.
Also, a remote authenticated users might gain update privileges for a table in another database via a view that
refers to the external table.
They might also gain database privileges due to a flaw in the function mysql_change_db when returning from
SQL SECURITY INVOKER stored routines.
Additionally, MySQL doesn't require the DROP privilege for RENAME TABLE statements, so a remote authenticated user
could use this flaw to rename arbitrary tables.

A vulnerability in ClamAV might allow remote attackers to cause a Denial-of-Service via a specially crafted RTF
file or HTML document with a data: URI, both of which trigger a NULL dereference.
A second vulnerability in clamav-milter, when run in black hole mode, might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters that are used in a certain popen call.
An updated package addresses these issues.
