A memory leak in rsyslog before 5.7.6 was found in the way deamon processed log messages are logged when $RepeatedMsgReduction was enabled. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of the rsyslogd daemon service by crashing the service via a sequence of repeated log messages sent within short periods of time.

The SQLDriverConnect() function in unixODBC before 2.2.14p2 have a possible buffer overflow condition when specifying a large value for SAVEFILE parameter in the connection string.

In tesseract 2.03 and 2.04, an attacker can rewrite an arbitrary user file by guessing the PID and creating a link to the user's file.

v86d before 0.1.10 do not verify if received netlink messages are sent by the kernel. This could allow unprivileged users to manipulate the video mode and potentially other consequences.

Trac 0.11.6 does not properly check workflow permissions before modifying a ticket. This can be exploited by an attacker to change the status and resolution of tickets without having proper permissions.

pithos before 0.3.5 allows overwrite of arbitrary files via symlinks.

In ConsoleKit before 0.4.2, an intended security policy restriction bypass was found. This flaw allows an authenticated system user to escalate their privileges by initiating a remote VNC session.

poppler before 0.16.3 has malformed commands that may cause corruption of the internal stack.

An integer overflow condition in poppler before 0.16.3 can occur when parsing CharCodes for fonts.

offlineimap before 6.3.4 added support for SSL server certificate validation but it is still possible to use SSL v2 protocol, which is a flawed protocol with multiple security deficiencies.

offlineimap before 6.3.2 does not check for SSL server certificate validation when "ssl = yes" option is specified which can allow man-in-the-middle attacks.

A buffer overflow in the fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels_ex() function in lib/fribidi-bidi.c of GNU FriBidi through 1.0.7 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code by delivering crafted text content to a user, when this content is then rendered by an application that uses FriBidi for text layout calculations. Examples include any GNOME or GTK+ based application that uses Pango for text layout, as this internally uses FriBidi for bidirectional text layout. For example, the attacker can construct a crafted text file to be opened in GEdit, or a crafted IRC message to be viewed in HexChat.

An unchecked sscanf() call in ettercap before 0.7.5 allows an insecure temporary settings file to overflow a static-sized buffer on the stack.

babiloo 2.0.9 before 2.0.11 creates temporary files with predictable names when downloading and unpacking dictionary files, allowing a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files.

The encrypt/decrypt functions in Ruby on Rails 2.3 are vulnerable to padding oracle attacks.

It is possible to cause a DoS condition by causing the server to crash in alien-arena 7.33 by supplying various invalid parameters to the download command.

libpoe-component-irc-perl before v6.32 does not remove carriage returns and line feeds. This can be used to execute arbitrary IRC commands by passing an argument such as "some text\rQUIT" to the 'privmsg' handler, which would cause the client to disconnect from the server.

If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is undefined in gargoyle-free before 2009-08-25, the variable will point to the current directory. This can allow a local user to trick another user into running gargoyle in a directory with a cracked libgarglk.so and gain access to the user's account.
