BugTraq ID: 13205
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 16 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13205
Summary:
Usermin and Webmin are affected by a configuration file access validation vulnerability. This issue is due to a design error that causes certain configuration files to be assigned insecure permissions.

An attacker may leverage this issue to gain access to various, potentially sensitive system configuration files.  This may facilitate privilege escalation or other attacks.

2. Mozilla Suite And Firefox Search Plug-In Remote Script Code ...
BugTraq ID: 13211
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 16 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13211
Summary:
A remote script code execution vulnerability affects Mozilla Suite and Mozilla Firefox.  This issue is due to a failure of the application to provide secure access validation prior to carrying out remotely supplied script code execution.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of a Web site that is being viewed by an unsuspecting user; if the Web page being viewed is a privileged page, remote code execution is possible.  This may facilitate cross-site scripting as well as a compromise of an affected computer.

It should be noted that this issue was previously reported in BID 13208 (Mozilla Suite Multiple Code Execution, Cross-Site Scripting, And Policy Bypass Vulnerabilities); it has been assigned its own BID.

3. Multiple Vendor TCP Session Acknowledgement Number Denial Of...
BugTraq ID: 13215
Remote: Yes
Date Published: Apr 18 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13215
Summary:
Multiple Vendor TCP/IP stack implementations are reported prone to a denial of service vulnerability. 

A report indicates that the vulnerability manifests when an erroneous TCP acknowledgement number is encountered in an active TCP session stream.

A successful attack may result in a degradation of the target connection, effectively denying service for legitimate users. Additionally, reports indicate that the computer being attacked may suffer CPU performance degradation, potentially denying service for local users too.

Date Published: Apr 18 2005
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13217
Summary:
CVS is prone to unspecified buffer overflow, memory access vulnerabilities, and a NULL pointer dereference denial of service.

It is conjectured that the issues may be leveraged by a remote authenticated user to disclose regions of the CVS process memory, and to corrupt CVS process memory. The two issues combined may lead to a remote attacker reliably executing arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable process, although this is not confirmed. 

This BID will be updated as soon as further information is made available.
