Buffer overflow in the Decrypt::makeFileKey2 function in Decrypt.cc for xpdf 3.00 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a large /Encrypt /Length keyLength value.

The original design of TCP does not check that the TCP sequence number in an ICMP error message is within the range of sequence numbers for data that has been sent but not acknowledged (aka "TCP sequence number checking"), which makes it easier for attackers to forge ICMP error messages for specific TCP connections and cause a denial of service, as demonstrated using (1) blind connection-reset attacks with forged "Destination Unreachable" messages, (2) blind throughput-reduction attacks with forged "Source Quench" messages, or (3) blind throughput-reduction attacks with forged ICMP messages that cause the Path MTU to be reduced. NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities.

Synaesthesia 2.1 and earlier, and possibly other versions, when installed setuid root, does not drop privileges before processing configuration and mixer files, which allows local users to read arbitrary files.

vdr before 1.2.6 does not securely create files, which allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files.

Buffer overflow in queue.c in a support script for sympa 3.3.3, when running setuid, allows local users to execute arbitrary code.

Multiple buffer overflows in the XView library 3.2 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via setuid applications that use the library.

The DBI library (libdbi-perl) for Perl allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary PID file.

The KDE screen saver in KDE before 3.0.5 does not properly check the return value from a certain function call, which allows attackers with physical access to cause a crash and access the desktop session.

Buffer overflow in xtrlock 2.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) and hijack the desktop session.

The 55_options_traceback.dpatch patch for mailman 2.1.5 in Ubuntu 4.10 displays a different error message depending on whether the e-mail address is subscribed to a private list, which allows remote attackers to determine the list membership for a given e-mail address.

MySQL MaxDB 7.5.00 for Windows, and possibly earlier versions and other platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via invalid parameters to the (1) DBMCli_String::ReallocString, (2) DBMCli_String::operator, (3) DBMCli_Buffer::ForceResize, (4) DBMCli_Wizard::InstallDatabase, (5) DBMCli_Devspaces::Complete, (6) DBMWeb_TemplateWizard::askForWriteCountStep5, or (7) DBMWeb_DBMWeb::wizardDB functions, which triggers a null dereference.

Buffer overflow in the X11 dissector in Ethereal 0.8.10 through 0.10.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet.

Heap-based buffer overflow in less in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted file, as demonstrated using the UTF-8 locale.

The publisher handler for mod_python 2.7.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain access to restricted objects via a crafted URL.

The SimpleXMLRPCServer library module in Python 2.2, 2.3 before 2.3.5, and 2.4, when used by XML-RPC servers that use the register_instance method to register an object without a _dispatch method, allows remote attackers to read or modify globals of the associated module, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via dotted attributes.

A regression error in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch omits an "access check," which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).

Unknown vulnerability in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch, when using the hugemem kernel, allows local users to read and write to arbitrary kernel memory and gain privileges via certain syscalls.

helvis 1.8h2_1 and earlier stores recovery files in world readable directories with world readable permissions, which allows local users to read the recovered files of other users.

helvis 1.8h2_1 and earlier allows local users to recover and read the files of other users via the elvrec setuid program.

helvis 1.8h2_1 and earlier allows local users to delete arbitrary files via the elvprsv setuid program.
