cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) by creating VCPUs
before a call to KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP.
CVE-2012-2123
Steve Grubb reported in an issue in fcaps, a filesystem-based capabilities
system. Personality flags set using this mechanism, such as the disabling
of address space randomization, may persist across suid calls.
CVE-2012-2133
Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, 2008.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Steve Grubb found that the vcdiff script in Emacs create temporary
files insecurely when used with SCCS. A local user could exploit a
race condition to create or overwrite files with the privileges of
the user invoking the program (CVE-2008-1694).
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
properly validate its input when processing TFTP requests for files with
long names. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service or execute
arbitrary code with user privileges. Dnsmasq runs as the 'dnsmasq' user by
default on Ubuntu. (CVE-2009-2957)
Steve Grubb discovered that Dnsmasq could be made to dereference a NULL
pointer when processing certain TFTP requests. A remote attacker could
cause a denial of service by sending a crafted TFTP request.
(CVE-2009-2958)
* Juan Galiana Lara of ISecAuditors discovered a NULL pointer
dereference when processing multipart requests without a part header
name (CVE-2009-1902).
* Steve Grubb of Red Hat reported that the "PDF XSS protection"
feature does not properly handle HTTP requests to a PDF file that do
not use the GET method (CVE-2009-1903).
Impact
======
It was discovered that Emacs did not account for precision when formatting
integers. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an
attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly other unspecified
actions. This issue does not affect Ubuntu 8.04. (CVE-2007-6109)
Steve Grubb discovered that the vcdiff script as included in Emacs created
temporary files in an insecure way when used with SCCS. Local users could
exploit a race condition to create or overwrite files with the privileges
of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2008-1694)
