Unproper argument sanitization
CVE: CVE-2008-7319
Component: perl-Net-Ping-External
CVSS v3: 7.9/CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Release date: 2008-02-13T00:00:00+00:00

The Net::Ping::External extension through 0.15 for Perl does not properly sanitize arguments (e.g., invalid hostnames) containing shell metacharacters before use of backticks in External.pm, allowing for shell command injection and arbitrary command execution if untrusted input is used.

Statement: Red Hat Product Security has determined that this vulnerability does not affect any currently supported Red Hat product. This assessment may evolve based on further analysis and discovery.

CVE: CVE-2008-1367
Component: Kernel doesn't clear DF for signal handlers
Severity: Low
Release date: 2008-03-05T00:00:00+00:00

gcc 4.3.x does not generate a cld instruction while compiling functions used for string manipulation such as memcpy and memmove on x86 and i386, which can prevent the direction flag (DF) from being reset in violation of ABI conventions and cause data to be copied in the wrong direction during signal handling in the Linux kernel, which might allow context-dependent attackers to trigger memory corruption. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for CPU consumption in SBCL.

CVE: CVE-2008-2009
Component: vorbis
Severity: Important
Release date: 2008-05-14T00:00:00+00:00

Xiph.org libvorbis before 1.0 does not properly check for underpopulated Huffman trees, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted OGG file that triggers memory corruption during execution of the _make_decode_tree function.

CVE: CVE-2008-4098
Component: mysql
Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2008-07-03T00:00:00+00:00

MySQL before 5.0.67 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4097.

Statement: In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, issue CVE-2008-2079 was fixed without introducing CVE-2008-4098 in RHSA-2009:1289.

regex/v4/perl_matcher_non_recursive.hpp in the Boost regex library (aka Boost.Regex) in Boost 1.33 and 1.34 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (failed assertion and crash) via an invalid regular expression.

Statement: This issue did not affect the version of boost as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 6. This issue was addressed in boost packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 via RHSA-2012:0305.

CVE: CVE-2008-5373
Component: bacula-common
Severity: Low
Release date: 2008-08-11T00:00:00+00:00

mtx-changer.Adic-Scalar-24 in bacula-common 2.4.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/mtx.##### temporary file, probably a related issue to CVE-2005-2995.

Statement: The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this issue as having low security impact. This issue is not currently planned to be addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/.

stack corruption during ASN1 encoding of OID
CVE: CVE-2008-7159
Component: libsilc
Release date: 2008-05-31T00:00:00+00:00

The silc_asn1_encoder function in lib/silcasn1/silcasn1_encode.c in Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) Toolkit before 1.1.8 allows remote attackers to overwrite a stack location and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted OID value, related to incorrect use of a %lu format string.

Statement: Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of libsilc as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, or 5.

Remediation:
CVE: CVE-2008-5021
Component: Mozilla crash and remote code execution in nsFrameManager
Severity: Critical
Release date: 2008-11-12T00:00:00+00:00

nsFrameManager in Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by modifying properties of a file input element while it is still being initialized, then using the blur method to access uninitialized memory.

CVE: CVE-2008-7270
Component: openssl
Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2008-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

OpenSSL before 0.9.8j, when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is enabled, does not prevent modification of the ciphersuite in the session cache, which allows remote attackers to force the use of a disabled cipher via vectors involving sniffing network traffic to discover a session identifier, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-4180.

Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2008-08-12T00:00:00+00:00

CVE: CVE-2008-6123
Component: net-snmp

The netsnmp_udp_fmtaddr function (snmplib/snmpUDPDomain.c) in net-snmp 5.0.9 through 5.4.2.1, when using TCP wrappers for client authorization, does not properly parse hosts.allow rules, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and execute SNMP queries, related to "source/destination IP address confusion."

XSS vulnerability
CVE: CVE-2008-2025
Component: struts
Release date: 2008-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Apache Struts before 1.2.9-162.31.1 on SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) 11, before 1.2.9-108.2 on SUSE openSUSE 10.3, before 1.2.9-198.2 on SUSE openSUSE 11.0, and before 1.2.9-162.163.2 on SUSE openSUSE 11.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors related to "insufficient quoting of parameters."

Statement: This is not a security flaw in Struts. Struts has never guaranteed to perform filtering of the untrusted user inputs used as html tag attributes names or values. If user inputs need to be used as part of the tag attributes, the JSP page needs to perform filtering explicitly. For further details, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2008-2025

Release date: 2008-09-14T00:00:00+00:00

Tools/faqwiz/move-faqwiz.sh (aka the generic FAQ wizard moving tool) in Python 2.4.5 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a tmp$RANDOM.tmp temporary file.
