The do_coredump function in fs/exec.c in Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x up to 2.6.24-rc3, and possibly other versions, does not change the UID of a core dump file if it exists before a root process creates a core dump in the same location, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information.

Util/difflog.pl in zsh 4.3.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Unspecified vulnerability in (1) DB2WATCH and (2) DB2FREEZE in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in unspecified setuid programs in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 allows local users to have an unknown impact.

Unspecified vulnerability in the DB2DART tool in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the DB2 instance owner, related to invocation of TPUT by DB2DART.

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 uses incorrect permissions on ACLs for DB2NODES.CFG, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

Unspecified vulnerability in the SSL LOAD GSKIT action in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, involving a call to dlopen when the effective uid is root.

Unspecified vulnerability in DB2LICD in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to creation of an "insecure directory."

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 assigns incorrect privileges to the (1) DB2ADMNS and (2) DB2USERS alternative groups, which has unknown impact. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly perform vector aggregation, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and DBMS crash), related to an "overflow." NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly handle use of large numbers of file descriptors, which might allow attackers to have an unknown impact involving "memory corruption." NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

The wait_task_stopped function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.23.8 checks a TASK_TRACED bit instead of an exit_state value, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (machine crash) via unspecified vectors. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Multiple buffer overflows in CIFS VFS in Linux kernel 2.6.23 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long SMB responses that trigger the overflows in the SendReceive function.

Integer underflow in the ieee80211_rx function in net/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.x before 2.6.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SKB length value in a runt IEEE 802.11 frame when the IEEE80211_STYPE_QOS_DATA flag is set, aka an "off-by-two error."

The eHCA driver in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.22, when running on PowerPC, does not properly map userspace resources, which allows local users to read portions of physical address space.

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.8 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.5, when running on Linux systems with gnome-vfs support, might allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files on SSH/sftp servers that accept key authentication by creating a web page on the target server, in which the web page contains URIs with (1) smb: or (2) sftp: schemes that access other files from the server.

The snd_mem_proc_read function in sound/core/memalloc.c in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.8 does not return the correct write size, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (kernel memory contents) via a small count argument, as demonstrated by multiple reads of /proc/driver/snd-page-alloc.

The ATM module in the Linux kernel before 2.4.35.3, when CLIP support is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by reading /proc/net/atm/arp before the CLIP module has been loaded.

Heap-based buffer overflow in libmpdemux/aviheader.c in MPlayer 1.0rc1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a .avi file with certain large "indx truck size" and nEntriesInuse values, and a certain wLongsPerEntry value.

The CIFS filesystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22, when Unix extension support is enabled, does not honor the umask of a process, which allows local users to gain privileges.
