foomatic: foomatic-rip (debug mode) insecure temporary file use in renderer command line by processing PostScript data

foomatic-rip filter, all versions, used insecurely creates temporary files for storage of PostScript data by rendering the data when the debug mode was enabled. This flaw may be exploited by a local attacker to conduct symlink attacks by overwriting arbitrary files accessible with the privileges of the user running the foomatic-rip universal print filter.

ktsuss versions 1.4 and prior spawns the GTK interface to run as root. This can allow a local attacker to escalate privileges to root and use the "GTK_MODULES" environment variable to possibly execute arbitrary code.

ktsuss versions 1.4 and prior has the uid set to root and does not drop privileges prior to executing user specified commands, which can result in command execution with root privileges.

qtnx 0.9 stores non-custom SSH keys in a world-readable configuration file. If a user has a world-readable or world-executable home directory, another local system user could obtain the private key used to connect to remote NX sessions.

The AX.25 daemon (ax25d) in ax25-tools before 0.0.8-13 does not check the return value of a setuid call. The setuid call is responsible for dropping privileges but if the call fails the daemon would continue to run with root privileges which can allow possible privilege escalation.

zxpdf in xpdf before 3.02-19 as packaged in Debian unstable and 3.02-12+squeeze1 as packaged in Debian squeeze deletes temporary files insecurely, which allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a crafted .pdf.gz file name.

gdk-pixbuf: GIF loader buffer overflow when initializing decompression tables

gdk-pixbuf through 2.31.1 has GIF loader buffer overflow when initializing decompression tables due to an input validation flaw

Insufficient policy enforcement in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 14.0.0.0 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page.

A stale layout root is set as an input element in WebKit in Google Chrome before Blink M13 when a child of a keygen with autofocus is accessed.

Incorrect handling of timer information in Timer.cpp in WebKit in Google Chrome before Blink M13.

mod_perl: arbitrary Perl code execution in the context of the user account via a user-owned .htaccess

mod_perl 2.0 through 2.0.10 allows attackers to execute arbitrary Perl code by placing it in a user-owned .htaccess file, because (contrary to the documentation) there is no configuration option that permits Perl code for the administrator's control of HTTP request processing without also permitting unprivileged users to run Perl code in the context of the user account that runs Apache HTTP Server processes.

Insecure temporary file handling

pyro before 3.15 unsafely handles pid files in temporary directory locations and opening the pid file as root. An attacker can use this flaw to overwrite arbitrary files via symlinks.

An access bypass issue was found in Drupal 7.x before version 7.5. If a Drupal site has the ability to attach File upload fields to any entity type in the system or has the ability to point individual File upload fields to the private file directory in comments, and the parent node is denied access, non-privileged users can still download the file attached to the comment if they know or guess its direct URL.

dhcpv6: insufficient checking of DHCP options

The DHCPv6 client (dhcp6c) as used in the dhcpv6 project through 2011-07-25 allows remote DHCP servers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a hostname obtained from a DHCP message.

An SQL Injection vulnerability exists in Drupal 6.20 with Data 6.x-1.0-alpha14 due to insufficient sanitization of table names or column names.

A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability exists in Drupal 6.20 with Data 6.x-1.0-alpha14 due to insufficient sanitization of table descriptions, field names, or labels before display.

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the reorder administrator functions in sNews 1.71.

Mozilla Firefox before 3.6 is vulnerable to XSS via the rendering of Cascading Style Sheets

Mozilla Firefox prior to 3.6 has a DoS vulnerability due to an issue in the validation of certificates.

Mozilla Firefox through 1.5.0.3 has a vulnerability in processing the content-length header
