The signature verification functionality in the YaST Online Update (YOU) script handling relies on a gpg feature that is not intended for signature verification, which prevents YOU from detecting malicious scripts or code that do not pass the signature check when gpg 1.4.x is being used.

ld in SUSE Linux 9.1 through 10.0, and SLES 9, in certain circumstances when linking binaries, can leave an empty RPATH or RUNPATH, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as other users via by running an ld-linked application from the current directory, which could contain an attacker-controlled library file.

Buffer overflow in the realpath function in nfs-server rpc.mountd, as used in SUSE Linux 9.1 through 10.0, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving mount requests and symlinks.

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in SUSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0, and possibly other distributions, cause the working directory to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) beagle, (2) tomboy, or (3) blam. NOTE: in August 2007, the tomboy vector was reported for other distributions.

Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference.

Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via streams that end prematurely, as demonstrated using the (1) CCITTFaxDecode and (2) DCTDecode streams, aka "Infinite CPU spins."

liby2util in Yet another Setup Tool (YaST) in SUSE Linux before 20051007 preserves permissions and ownerships when copying a remote repository, which might allow local users to read or modify sensitive files, possibly giving local users the ability to exploit CVE-2005-3013.

The CCITTFaxStream::CCITTFaxStream function in Stream.cc for xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others allows attackers to corrupt the heap via negative or large integers in a CCITTFaxDecode stream, which lead to integer overflows and integer underflows.

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in SUSE Linux 10.0 cause the working directory to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) liferea or (2) banshee.

chkstat in SuSE Linux 9.0 through 10.0 allows local users to modify permissions of files by creating a hardlink to a file from a world-writable directory, which can cause the link count to drop to 1 when the file is deleted or replaced, which is then modified by chkstat to use weaker permissions.
