CVE-2016-8606 2 Fedoraproject, Gnu 2 Fedora, Guile 2017-01-18 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
The REPL server (--listen) in GNU Guile 2.0.12 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP inter-protocol attack.
CVE-2016-8605 2 Fedoraproject, Gnu 2 Fedora, Guile 2017-01-18 5.0 MEDIUM 5.3 MEDIUM
The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions. For example, mkdir without the optional mode argument would create directories as 0777. This is fixed in Guile 2.0.13. Prior versions are affected.
CVE-2002-0389 1 Gnu 1 Mailman 2016-12-27 2.1 LOW N/A
Pipermail in Mailman stores private mail messages with predictable filenames in a world-executable directory, which allows local users to read private mailing list archives.
CVE-2015-2775 4 Canonical, Debian, Gnu and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Mailman and 1 more 2016-12-23 7.6 HIGH N/A
Directory traversal vulnerability in GNU Mailman before 2.1.20, when not using a static alias, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a list name.
CVE-2015-6251 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Gnutls 2016-12-23 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Double free vulnerability in GnuTLS before 3.3.17 and 3.4.x before 3.4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long DistinguishedName (DN) entry in a certificate.
CVE-2012-5667 1 Gnu 1 Grep 2016-12-23 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
Multiple integer overflows in GNU Grep before 2.11 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a long input line that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
CVE-2015-3308 2 Canonical, Gnu 2 Ubuntu Linux, Gnutls 2016-12-21 7.5 HIGH N/A
Double free vulnerability in lib/x509/x509_ext.c in GnuTLS before 3.3.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted CRL distribution point.
CVE-2013-4122 2 Cmu, Gnu 2 Cyrus-sasl, Glibc 2016-12-07 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
Cyrus SASL 2.1.23, 2.1.26, and earlier does not properly handle when a NULL value is returned upon an error by the crypt function as implemented in glibc 2.17 and later, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread crash and consumption) via (1) an invalid salt or, when FIPS-140 is enabled, a (2) DES or (3) MD5 encrypted password, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2011-1089 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2016-12-07 3.3 LOW N/A
The addmntent function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier does not report an error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file, which makes it easier for local users to trigger corruption of this file, as demonstrated by writes from a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0296.
CVE-2015-4155 1 Gnu 1 Parallel 2016-12-07 3.6 LOW N/A
GNU Parallel before 20150422, when using (1) --pipe, (2) --tmux, (3) --cat, (4) --fifo, or (5) --compress, allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
CVE-2010-0015 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2016-12-06 7.5 HIGH N/A
nis/nss_nis/nis-pwd.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.7 and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) 2.10.2 adds information from the passwd.adjunct.byname map to entries in the passwd map, which allows remote attackers to obtain the encrypted passwords of NIS accounts by calling the getpwnam function.
CVE-2016-2037 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Cpio 2016-12-05 4.3 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
The cpio_safer_name_suffix function in util.c in cpio 2.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted cpio file.
CVE-2016-2856 3 Canonical, Debian, Gnu 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Glibc 2016-11-28 7.2 HIGH 8.4 HIGH
pt_chown in the glibc package before 2.19-18+deb8u4 on Debian jessie; the elibc package before 2.15-0ubuntu10.14 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and before 2.19-0ubuntu6.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; and the glibc package before 2.21-0ubuntu4.2 on Ubuntu 15.10 and before 2.23-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 lacks a namespace check associated with file-descriptor passing, which allows local users to capture keystrokes and spoof data, and possibly gain privileges, via pts read and write operations, related to debian/sysdeps/linux.mk. NOTE: this is not considered a vulnerability in the upstream GNU C Library because the upstream documentation has a clear security recommendation against the --enable-pt_chown option.
CVE-2015-1473 2 Canonical, Gnu 2 Ubuntu Linux, Glibc 2016-11-28 6.4 MEDIUM N/A
The ADDW macro in stdio-common/vfscanf.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.21 does not properly consider data-type size during a risk-management decision for use of the alloca function, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation) or overwrite memory locations beyond the stack boundary via a long line containing wide characters that are improperly handled in a wscanf call.
CVE-2014-0092 1 Gnu 1 Gnutls 2016-11-28 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
lib/x509/verify.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.22 and 3.2.x before 3.2.12 does not properly handle unspecified errors when verifying X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.
CVE-2014-0475 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2016-11-28 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.20 allow context-dependent attackers to bypass ForceCommand restrictions and possibly have other unspecified impact via a .. (dot dot) in a (1) LC_*, (2) LANG, or other locale environment variable.
CVE-2013-7424 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2016-11-28 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
The getaddrinfo function in glibc before 2.15, when compiled with libidn and the AI_IDN flag is used, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid free) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by an internationalized domain name to ping6.
CVE-2014-1959 1 Gnu 1 Gnutls 2016-11-28 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
lib/x509/verify.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.21 and 3.2.x before 3.2.11 treats version 1 X.509 certificates as intermediate CAs, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions by leveraging a X.509 V1 certificate from a trusted CA to issue new certificates.
CVE-2010-4651 1 Gnu 1 Gnu Patch 2016-11-28 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
Directory traversal vulnerability in util.c in GNU patch 2.6.1 and earlier allows user-assisted remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a filename that is specified with a .. (dot dot) or full pathname, a related issue to CVE-2010-1679.
CVE-2010-2252 1 Gnu 1 Wget 2016-11-28 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
GNU Wget 1.12 and earlier uses a server-provided filename instead of the original URL to determine the destination filename of a download, which allows remote servers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a 3xx redirect to a URL with a .wgetrc filename followed by a 3xx redirect to a URL with a crafted filename, and possibly execute arbitrary code as a consequence of writing to a dotfile in a home directory.
