systemtap: race condition leads to privilege escalation

Race condition in the SystemTap stap tool 0.0.20080705 and 0.0.20090314 allows local users in the stapusr group to insert arbitrary SystemTap kernel modules and gain privileges via unknown vectors.

Launch Services in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5, when Open Safe Files is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack, probably related to a race condition and automatic execution of a downloaded file.

kernel: fs: pipe.c null pointer dereference

Multiple race conditions in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc6 allow local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or gain privileges by attempting to open an anonymous pipe via a /proc/*/fd/ pathname.

Race condition in the symlink function in PHP 5.1.6 and earlier allows local users to bypass the open_basedir restriction by using a combination of symlink, mkdir, and unlink functions to change the file path after the open_basedir check and before the file is opened by the underlying system, as demonstrated by symlinking a symlink into a subdirectory, to point to a parent directory via .. (dot dot) sequences, and then unlinking the resulting symlink.

The TFTP implementation in IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment 5.1 before Fix Pack 3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (rembo.exe crash and multiple service outage) via a read (RRQ) request with an invalid blksize (blocksize), which triggers a divide-by-zero error.

perl: File:: Path rmtree race condition (CVE-2004-0452) reintroduced after upstream rebase to 5.8.8-1

Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path 1.08 (lib/File/Path.pm) in Perl 5.8.8 allows local users to to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448, CVE-2004-0452, and CVE-2008-2827. NOTE: this is a regression error related to CVE-2005-0448. It is different from CVE-2008-5302 due to affected versions.

Race condition in the kernel in Sun Solaris 8 through 10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified vectors related to "the handling of thread contexts."

xfree86: integer overflow in EVI extension

Multiple integer overflows in X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a GetVisualInfo request containing a 32-bit value that is improperly used to calculate an amount of memory for allocation by the EVI extension, or (2) a request containing values related to pixmap size that are improperly used in management of shared memory by the MIT-SHM extension.

Race condition in Apple Safari 3 Beta before 3.0.2 on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and iPhone before 1.0.1, allows remote attackers to bypass the JavaScript security model and modify pages outside of the security domain and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to page updating and HTTP redirects.

Unspecified vulnerability in crontab on Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_93, allows local users to insert cron jobs into the crontab files of arbitrary users via unspecified vectors.

Race condition in the msxml3 module in Microsoft XML Core Services 3.0, as used in Internet Explorer 6 and other applications, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via many nested tags in an XML document in an IFRAME, when synchronous document rendering is frequently disrupted with asynchronous events, as demonstrated using a JavaScript timer, which can trigger NULL pointer dereferences or memory corruption, aka "MSXML Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

kernel: ptrace: Crash on PTRACE_{ATTACH,DETACH} race

Race condition in the ptrace and utrace support in the Linux kernel 2.6.9 through 2.6.25, as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4, allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) via a long series of PTRACE_ATTACH ptrace calls to another user's process that trigger a conflict between utrace_detach and report_quiescent, related to "late ptrace_may_attach() check" and "race around &dead_engine_ops setting," a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-0771 and CVE-2008-1514. NOTE: this issue might only affect kernel versions before 2.6.16.x.

Race condition in the Reset Safari implementation in Apple Safari before 4.0 on Windows might allow local users to read stored web-site passwords via unspecified vectors.

kernel: fix inotify watch removal/umount races

The inotify functionality in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.28-rc5 might allow local users to gain privileges via unknown vectors related to race conditions in inotify watch removal and umount.

MoveSortedContentAction in C1 Financial Services Contelligent 9.1.4 does not check "the additional environment security configuration," which allows remote attackers with write permissions to reorder components.

The Exchange Support component in Apple iPhone OS before 3.1, and iPhone OS before 3.1.1 for iPod touch, does not properly implement the "Maximum inactivity time lock" functionality, which allows local users to bypass intended Microsoft Exchange restrictions by choosing a large Require Passcode time value.

Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus before 7.1.407 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted DOC file that triggers a divide-by-zero error. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

pulseaudio: privilege escalation flaw via pulseaudio re-exec

Race condition in PulseAudio 0.9.9, 0.9.10, and 0.9.14 allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving creation of a hard link, related to the application setting LD_BIND_NOW to 1, and then calling execv on the target of the /proc/self/exe symlink.

Firefox Race condition while accessing the private data of a NPObject JS wrapper class object

Race condition in the NPObjWrapper_NewResolve function in modules/plugin/base/src/nsJSNPRuntime.cpp in xul.dll in Mozilla Firefox 3 before 3.0.11 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a page transition during Java applet loading, related to a use-after-free vulnerability for memory associated with a destroyed Java object.

net-snmp: DoS (division by zero) via SNMP GetBulk requests

agent/snmp_agent.c in snmpd in net-snmp 5.0.9 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted SNMP GETBULK request that triggers a divide-by-zero error. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-4309.
