Linux kernel 2.6.10 and 2.6.11rc1-bk6 uses different size types for offset arguments to the proc_file_read and locks_read_proc functions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow when a signed comparison causes negative integers to be used in a positive context.

Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.3 and 7.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PDF file that contains a negative Count value in the root page node.

gr_osview in SGI IRIX does not drop privileges before opening files, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via the -s option.

gr_osview in SGI IRIX 6.5.22, and possibly other 6.5 versions, does not drop privileges when opening description files while in debug mode, which allows local users to read a line from arbitrary files via the -d and -D options, which prints the line as a formatting error.

Race condition in the rmtree function in File::Path.pm in Perl before 5.8.4 allows local users to create arbitrary setuid binaries in the tree being deleted, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0452.

Firefox before 1.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into saving a page as a Firefox sidebar panel, then using the sidebar panel to inject Javascript into a privileged page.

The ext2_make_empty function call in the Linux kernel before 2.6.11.6 does not properly initialize memory when creating a block for a new directory entry, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the block.

Desktop Communication Protocol (DCOP) daemon, aka dcopserver, in KDE before 3.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (dcopserver consumption) by "stalling the DCOP authentication process."

remstats 1.0.13 and earlier, when processing uptime data, allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The dcopidlng script in KDE 3.2.x and 3.3.x creates temporary files with predictable filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Directory traversal vulnerability in RealArcade 1.2.0.994 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via an RGP file with a .. (dot dot) in the FILENAME tag.

SafeNet SoftRemote VPN Client stores the VPN password (pre-shared key) in cleartext in memory of the IreIKE.exe process, which allows local users to gain sensitive information if they have access to that process.

The Finder in Mac OS X and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain privileges by creating a hard link from the .DS_Store file to an arbitrary file.

Directory traversal vulnerability in WinRAR 3.42 and earlier, when the user clicks on the ZIP file to extract it, allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via a ... (triple dot) in the filename of the ZIP file.

Buffer overflow in Painkiller 1.35 and earlier, and possibly other versions before 1.61, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long cd-key hash.

Directory traversal vulnerability in ZipGenius 5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to create and possibly modify arbitrary files via a ZIP file with a file whose name includes .. (dot dot) sequences.

MERAK Mail Server 7.6.0 with Icewarp Web Mail 5.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to gain sensitive information via an HTTP request to (1) calendar_d.html, (2) calendar_m.html, (3) calendar_w.html, or (4) calendar_y.html, which reveal the installation path.

BibORB 1.3.2, and possibly earlier versions, does not properly enforce a restriction for uploading only PDF and PS files, which allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files that are presented to other users with PDF or PS icons, which may trick some users into downloading and executing those files.
