Race condition in cpio 2.6 and earlier allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by cpio after the decompression is complete.

The 55_options_traceback.dpatch patch for mailman 2.1.5 in Ubuntu 4.10 displays a different error message depending on whether the e-mail address is subscribed to a private list, which allows remote attackers to determine the list membership for a given e-mail address.

Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.

The DBI library (libdbi-perl) for Perl allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary PID file.

The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.

Kommander in KDE 3.2 through KDE 3.4.0 executes data files without confirmation from the user, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Race condition in the (1) load_elf_library and (2) binfmt_aout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.

The bluez_sock_create function in the Bluetooth stack for Linux kernel 2.4.6 through 2.4.30-rc1 and 2.6 through 2.6.11.5 allows local users to gain privileges via (1) socket or (2) socketpair call with a negative protocol value.

Unknown vulnerability in the PPP driver for the Linux kernel 2.6.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a pppd client.

Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.
