emacs/lisp/progmodes/python.el in Emacs 22.1 and 22.2 imports Python script from the current working directory during editing of a Python file, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file.

The init script for Apache Geronimo on SUSE Linux follows symlinks when performing a chown operation, which might allow local users to obtain access to unspecified files or directories.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in yast2-core in SUSE Linux might allow local users to execute arbitrary code by creating a malicious yast2 module in the current working directory.

The installation script for orarun on SUSE Linux before 20070810 places the oracle user into the disk group, which allows the local oracle user to read or write raw disk partitions.

The default configuration of Centre for Speech Technology Research (CSTR) Festival 1.95 beta (aka 2.0 beta) on Gentoo Linux, SUSE Linux, and possibly other distributions, is run locally with elevated privileges without requiring authentication, which allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the local daemon on port 1314, a different vulnerability than CVE-2001-0956. NOTE: this issue is local in some environments, but remote on others.

Multiple buffer overflows in ulogd for SUSE Linux 9.3 up to 10.1, and possibly other distributions, have unknown impact and attack vectors related to "improper string length calculations."

StoreBackup before 1.19 allows local users to perform unauthorized operations on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

StoreBackup before 1.19 creates the backup root with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

StoreBackup before 1.19 does not properly set the uid and guid for symbolic links (1) that are backed up by storeBackup.pl, or (2) recovered by storeBackupRecover.pl, which could cause files to be restored with incorrect ownership.

The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.

exif.c in PHP before 4.3.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and crash) via an EXIF header with a large IFD nesting level, which causes significant stack recursion.

scan.c for LibXPM may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative bitmap_unit value that leads to a buffer overflow.

xloadimage before 4.1-r2, and xli before 1.17, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in filenames for compressed images, which are not properly quoted when calling the gunzip command.

Multiple vulnerabilities in xli before 1.17 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "buffer management errors" from certain image properties, some of which may be related to integer overflows in PPM files.

The EPSF pipe support in enscript 1.6.3 allows remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

Race condition in SuSE Linux 8.1 through 9.2, when run on SMP systems that have more than 4GB of memory, could allow local users to read unauthorized memory from "foreign memory pages."

Opera 7.54 and earlier uses kfmclient exec to handle unknown MIME types, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a shortcut or launcher that contains an Exec entry.

Buffer overflow in the French documentation patch for Gnuplot 3.7 in SuSE Linux before 8.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root via unknown attack vectors.

Buffer overflow in ncurses 5.0, and the ncurses4 compatibility package as used in Red Hat Linux, allows local users to gain privileges, related to "routines for moving the physical cursor and scrolling."

htsearch CGI program in htdig (ht://Dig) 3.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to use the -c option to specify an alternate configuration file, which could be used to (1) cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by specifying a large file such as /dev/zero, or (2) read arbitrary files by uploading an alternate configuration file that specifies the target file.
