The buffer overflow could be exploited by a remote attacker as long as their IP address is allowed to connect to the CUPS server. This advisory has been retracted due to errors in the binary packages.
There exist several signedness bugs within the rsync program which allow remote attackers to write 0-bytes to almost arbitrary stack-locations, therefore being able to control the programflow and obtaining a shell remotely.
The at command may crash as a result of a surplus call to free(). The cause of the crash is a heap corruption that is exploitable under certain circumstances since the /usr/bin/at command is installed setuid root.
Attackers may trick "sudo" to log failed sudo invocations executing the sendmail program with root-privileges and not completely cleaned environment.
mutt, a popular mail client for Linux-like systems, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that is remotely exploitable.
The file globbing (matching filenames against patterns such as "*.bak") routines in the glibc exhibits an error that results in a heap corruption and that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands from processes that take globbing strings from user input.
This is a re-release of the SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2001:044, adding another bugfix for the openssh package as well as more detailed information about the vulnerabilities to prevent misunderstandings.
The OpenSSH daemon shipped with SuSE distributions contains various minor bugs which allows bypassing of IP-access control in some circumstances or the deletion of files named "cookies" if X11 forwarding is enabled. It has also been verified that the recent remotely exploitable crc32 bug as well as the logging-bug has been fixed in our latest ssh packages.
Due to a missing \0 at the end of the buffer a later call to a function that frees allocated memory will feed free(3) with userdefined data. This bug could be exploited depending on the implementation of the dynmaic allocateable memory API (malloc(3), free(3)) in the libc library.
A format bug was found in one of the logging functions, that could be used by an attacker to gain access to a machine or to acquire higher privileges.
Some of these scripts open files in an insecure manner, thus allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as wwwrun-user on the server running susehelp package.
Effective Monday, December 10th 2001, after a lifespan of two years, SuSEwill discontinue support for the successful SuSE Linux distributionSuSE Linux 6.3.
An exploitable bug was found in webalizer which allows a remote attacker to execute commands on other client machines or revealing sensitive information by placing HTML tags in the right place.
Information about the security problems fixed with the new kernel rpmpackages from SuSE Security Announcement: kernel (SuSE-SA:2001:036)has been withheld in coordination with other Linux distributors/vendors.
An attacker could exploit this hole, by specifying a malicious configuration file to execute and/or access arbitrary data with the privilege of user uucp.
The squid proxy server can be crashed with a malformed request, resulting in a denial of service attack. After the crash, the squid proxy must be restarted.
Two security-related vulnerabilities have been found that affect every Linux kernel since 2.2.
Due to insufficient checking of the running environment it is possible to use commandline options via CGI. An remote attacker could use the -c option to specify /dev/zero as an alternate config file to causes a denial of service for some minutes.
This login implementation may cause wrong group IDs to be set in very rare cases. The harm of this bug is therefore considerably small on SuSE Linux.
Buffer overflow and privilege escalation vulnerabilities have been fixed. This advisory also lists other pending vulnerabilities in other SuSE packages.
