CVE Vulnerability Catalog

Vulnerability in urestore in Novell UnixWare 1.1 allows local users to gain root privileges.

IIS 4.0 does not properly restrict access for the initial session request from a user's IP address if the address does not resolve to a DNS domain. This is known as the 'Domain Resolution' vulnerability.

The SystemSoft SystemWizard package on HP Pavilion PCs with Windows 98, and possibly other platforms, installs two ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malicious web page that references the Launch control or the RegObj control.

Directory traversal vulnerability in nph-publish before version 1.2 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the pathname for an upload operation.

The automatic download option in the ncftp 2.4.2 FTP client on Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the names of files to be downloaded.

The BMC Patrol component, when installed with Compaq Insight Management Agent 4.23 and earlier, or Management Agents for Servers 4.40 and earlier, creates a PFCUser account with a default password and potentially dangerous privileges.

Office Shortcut Bar (OSB) in Windows 3.51 enables backup and restore permissions, which could allow local users to read folders for which they do not have permission.

GINA in Windows NT 4.0 allows attackers with physical access to display a portion of the clipboard of the user who has locked the workstation by pasting (CTRL-V) the contents into the username prompt.

Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by running a program that creates a large number of locks on a file, which exhausts the NonPagedPool.

Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service via a user mode application that closes a handle that was opened in kernel mode, which causes a crash when the kernel attempts to close the handle.

Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an illegal kernel mode address to the functions GetThreadContext or SetThreadContext.

The vulnerability in lpr on SunOS 4.1.1, BSD 4.3, A/UX 2.0.1, and other BSD-based operating systems allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack triggered after invoking lpr 1000 times.

A vulnerability in Windows NT 4.0 SP4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the symbolic link table in the \?? object folder using a different case letter (upper or lower) to point to a different device.

Microsoft Office 98 for Macintosh does not properly initialize the disk space used by Office 98 files, effectively inserting data from previously deleted files into the Office file. This could allow attackers to obtain sensitive information.

Cisco Resource Manager (CRM) versions 1.0 and 1.1 create world-readable log files and temporary files, which may expose sensitive information such as user IDs, passwords, and SNMP community strings to local users.

Buffer overflow in linuxconf 1.11r11-rh2 on Red Hat Linux 5.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long LANG environmental variable.

The soundplayer program in IRIX allows local users to gain privileges by including shell metacharacters in a .wav file, which is executed via the midikeys program.

The snprintf function in the db library version 1.85.4 ignores the size parameter, which could allow attackers to exploit buffer overflows that would be prevented by a properly implemented snprintf.

Buffer overflow in nftp FTP client version 1.40 allows remote malicious FTP servers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long response string.

The gzexe program in the gzip package on Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
