bypass of the 'k' right in the ACL plugin
CVE: CVE-2008-4578
Component: dovecot
Release date: 2008-10-05T00:00:00+00:00

The ACL plugin in Dovecot before 1.1.4 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by using the "k" right to create unauthorized "parent/child/child" mailboxes.

Statement: The risks associated with fixing this bug are greater than the low severity security risk. We therefore currently have no plans to fix this flaw in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

CSS reference counter overflow (ZDI-CAN-349)
CVE: CVE-2008-2785
Component: mozilla
Severity: Critical
Release date: 2008-07-16T00:00:00+00:00

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.16 and 3.x before 3.0.1, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.16, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.11 use an incorrect integer data type as a CSS object reference counter in the CSSValue array (aka nsCSSValue:Array) data structure, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of references to a common CSS object, leading to a counter overflow and a free of in-use memory, aka ZDI-CAN-349.

privilege escalation via unflushed tty
CVE: CVE-2008-1845
Component: mksh
Release date: 2008-04-16T00:00:00+00:00

The Korn shell (aka mksh) before R33d on MirOS (aka MirBSD) does not flush the tty's I/O when invoking mksh in a new terminal, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening a virtual terminal and entering command sequences, which might later be executed in opportunistic circumstances by a different user who launches mksh and specifies that terminal with the -T option.

Release date: 2008-04-02T00:00:00+00:00

The (1) maketemp and (2) mkstemp builtin functions in GNU m4 before 1.4.11 do not quote their output when a file is created, which might allow context-dependent attackers to trigger a macro expansion, leading to unspecified use of an incorrect filename.

Statement: Red Hat does not consider this to be a security issue. After careful analysis of this issue the Red Hat Product Security has determined that this bug has no security impact outside of expected m4 behavior.

Remediation:

ParameterInterceptors bypass allows OGNL statement execution
CVE: CVE-2008-6504
Component: Struts2/WebWorks/XWork
Release date: 2008-06-12T00:00:00+00:00

ParametersInterceptor in OpenSymphony XWork 2.0.x before 2.0.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.2, as used in Apache Struts and other products, does not properly restrict # (pound sign) references to context objects, which allows remote attackers to execute Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) statements and modify server-side context objects, as demonstrated by use of a \u0023 representation for the # character.

Statement: A previous statement by Red Hat related to this CVE, prior to August 2019, said that Apache Struts 2 is not included in any Red Hat products. This earlier statement was incorrect. While Struts 2 is not actively compiled, shipped, used, or enabled in any Red Hat provided final products, and does not cause any vulnerability in the product, struts2-core jars have been included in some products' source code packages. The inclusion was part of an import of the Google Guice repository, which includes struts2-core. Customers that build artefacts from our source code could be at risk. Red Hat will remove these artefacts from source code in future releases.

The products that included the Struts 2 artefacts in their source jars:
Fuse Service Works 6.0.0
Single Sign On 7.3.0+

If you have used the source package from one of these products to build artefacts on your system, you should do the following to remove potentially affected jars:
1. Run 'find . -name struts2*.jar' under the source location
2. Remove any files found
This will not affect the product, as the jar is included with the source of google-guice, but no functionality requiring struts2 is implemented.

CVE: CVE-2008-5113
Component: wordpress delayed attack via cookies
Release date: 2008-11-06T00:00:00+00:00

WordPress 2.6.3 relies on the REQUEST superglobal array in certain dangerous situations, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct delayed and persistent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks via crafted cookies, as demonstrated by attacks that (1) delete user accounts or (2) cause a denial of service (loss of application access).  NOTE: this issue relies on the presence of an independent vulnerability that allows cookie injection.

unable to restrict modifications to cookies in HTTPS sessions due to loack of HSTS support
CVE: CVE-2008-7293
Component: firefox
Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2008-11-24T00:00:00+00:00

Mozilla Firefox before 4 cannot properly restrict modifications to cookies established in HTTPS sessions, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to overwrite or delete arbitrary cookies via a Set-Cookie header in an HTTP response, related to lack of the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) includeSubDomains feature, aka a "cookie forcing" issue.

Statement: This issue was addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 by rebasing Firefox to 10.0.0 ESR.

stack buffer overflow triggerable by long DNS name
CVE: CVE-2008-2357
Component: mtr
Release date: 2008-05-19T00:00:00+00:00

Stack-based buffer overflow in the split_redraw function in split.c in mtr before 0.73, when invoked with the -p (aka --split) option, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS PTR record.  NOTE: it could be argued that this is a vulnerability in the ns_name_ntop function in resolv/ns_name.c in glibc and the proper fix should be in glibc; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in mtr.

Statement: This issue does not affect the versions of mtr as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or 5.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3, this issue can only be exploited if an attacker can convince victim to use mtr to trace path to or via the IP, for which an attacker controls PTR DNS records. Additionally, the victim must run mtr in "split mode" by providing -p or --split command line options. The Red Hat Product Security has therefore rated this issue as having low security impact, a future update may address this flaw.

The load function in the XPM loader for imlib2 1.4.2, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted XPM file that triggers a "pointer arithmetic error" and a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2426.

Statement: Not vulnerable. This issue does not affect the versions of imlib as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, or 4.

Remediation:
