Debian ≫ Debian Linux

postinst installation script for Proftpd in Debian 2.2 does not properly change the "run as uid/gid root" configuration when the user enables anonymous access, which causes the server to run at a higher privilege than intended.

man2html before 1.5-22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).

Multiple buffer overflows in ePerl before 2.2.14-0.7 allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Format string vulnerability in man in some Linux distributions allows local users to gain privileges via a malformed -l parameter.

Buffer overflow in sudo earlier than 1.6.3p6 allows local users to gain root privileges.

mandb in the man-db package before 2.3.16-3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via the command line options (1) -u or (2) -c, which do not drop privileges and follow symlinks.

glibc 2.1.9x and earlier does not properly clear the RESOLV_HOST_CONF, HOSTALIASES, or RES_OPTIONS environmental variables when executing setuid/setgid programs, which could allow local users to read arbitrary files.

sash before 3.4-4 in Debian GNU/Linux does not properly clone /etc/shadow, which makes it world-readable and could allow local users to gain privileges via password cracking.

Buffer overflow in micq client 0.4.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long Description field.

Vulnerability in crontab allows local users to read crontab files of other users by replacing the temporary file that is being edited while crontab is running.
