Double free vulnerability in the utrace support in the Linux kernel, probably 2.6.18, in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and Fedora Core 6 (FC6) allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops), as demonstrated by a crash when running the GNU GDB testsuite, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2365.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Fedora install the Bind /etc/rndc.key file with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to perform unauthorized named commands, such as causing a denial of service by stopping named.
buttonpressed.sh in scanbuttond 0.2.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1) scan.pnm and (2) scan.jpg temporary files.
Buffer overflow in the wpa_printf function in the debugging code in wpa_supplicant in the Fedora NetworkManager package before 0.6.5-3.fc7 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed frames on a WPA2 network. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
The init.d script for the X.Org X11 xfs font server on various Linux distributions might allow local users to change the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/.font-unix temporary file.
lharc.c in lha does not securely create temporary files, which might allow local users to read or write files by creating a file before LHA is invoked.
Double free vulnerability in squashfs module in the Linux kernel 2.6.x, as used in Fedora Core 5 and possibly other distributions, allows local users to cause a denial of service by mounting a crafted squashfs filesystem.
pam_ldap in nss_ldap on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Fedora Core 3 and earlier, and possibly other distributions does not return an error condition when an LDAP directory server responds with a PasswordPolicyResponse control response, which causes the pam_authenticate function to return a success code even if authentication has failed, as originally reported for xscreensaver.
The LDAP component in Fedora Directory Server 1.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a certain "bad BER sequence" that results in a free of uninitialized memory, as demonstrated using the ProtoVer LDAP test suite.
Multiple memory leaks in the LDAP component in Fedora Directory Server 1.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via invalid BER packets that trigger an error, which might prevent memory from being freed if it was allocated during the ber_scanf call, as demonstrated using the ProtoVer LDAP test suite.
