Bugs, Holes, & Patches

The table below summarizes vulnerabilities that have been identified, even if they are not being exploited. Complete details about patches or workarounds are available from the source of the information or from the URL provided in the section. CVE numbers are listed where applicable. Vulnerabilities that affect both Windows and Unix Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems section.

Note: All the information included in the following tables has been discussed in newsgroups and on web sites.

The Risk levels defined below are based on how the system may be impacted:

High - A high-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder to immediately gain privileged access (e.g., sysadmin or root) to the system or allow an intruder to execute code or alter arbitrary system files. An example of a high-risk vulnerability is one that allows an unauthorized user to send a sequence of instructions to a machine and the machine responds with a command prompt with administrator privileges.
Medium - A medium-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder immediate access to a system with less than privileged access. Such vulnerability will allow the intruder the opportunity to continue the attempt to gain privileged access. An example of medium-risk vulnerability is a server configuration error that allows an intruder to capture the password file.
Low - A low-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will provide information to an intruder that could lead to further compromise attempts or a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. It should be noted that while the DoS attack is deemed low from a threat potential, the frequency of this type of attack is very high. DoS attacks against mission-critical nodes are not included in this rating and any attack of this nature should instead be considered to be a "High" threat.

Apache 1.3-2.0.49

A stack-based buffer overflow has been reported in the Apache mod_ssl module. This issue would most likely result in a Denial of Service if triggered, but could theoretically allow for execution of arbitrary code. The issue is not believed to be exploitable to execute arbitrary code on x86 architectures, though this may not be the case with other architectures.

Multiple vulnerabilities exist that could allow a remote malicious user to execute arbitrary code This is due to boundary errors within the "st_wavstartread()" function when processing ".WAV" file headers and can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows. Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into playing a malicious ".WAV" file with a large value in a length field.
