| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2019-9972 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 7, 2022 | PhoneSystem Terminal in 3CX Phone System (Debian based installation) 16.0.0.1570 allows an authenticated attacker to run arbitrary commands with the phonesystem user privileges because of "<space><space> followed by <shift><enter>" mishandling. |
| CVE-2019-9971 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 7, 2022 | PhoneSystem Terminal in 3CX Phone System (Debian based installation) 16.0.0.1570 allows an attacker to gain root privileges by using sudo with the tcpdump command, without a password. This occurs because the -z (aka postrotate-command) option to tcpdump can be unsafe when used in conjunction with sudo. |
| CVE-2016-3062 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 16, 2016 | The mov_read_dref function in libavformat/mov.c in Libav before 11.7 and FFmpeg before 0.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via the entries value in a dref box in an MP4 file. |
| CVE-1999-0038 | HIGH | 8.4 | Apr 26, 1997 | Buffer overflow in xlock program allows local users to execute commands as root. |
| CVE-2018-19200 | HIGH | 7.5 | Nov 12, 2018 | An issue was discovered in uriparser before 0.9.0. UriCommon.c allows attempted operations on NULL input via a uriResetUri* function. |
| CVE-2014-9089 | HIGH | 7.5 | Nov 28, 2014 | Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in view_all_bug_page.php in MantisBT before 1.2.18 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) sort or (2) dir parameter to view_all_set.php. |
| CVE-2001-0763 | HIGH | 7.5 | Oct 18, 2001 | Buffer overflow in Linux xinetd 2.1.8.9pre11-1 and earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ident response, which is not properly handled by the svc_logprint function. |
| CVE-2001-0441 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jun 27, 2001 | Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header. |
| CVE-1999-0389 | HIGH | 7.2 | Jan 3, 1999 | Buffer overflow in the bootp server in the Debian Linux netstd package. |
| CVE-1999-0914 | HIGH | 7.2 | Jan 3, 1999 | Buffer overflow in the FTP client in the Debian GNU/Linux netstd package. |
| CVE-2013-6475 | MEDIUM | 6.8 | Mar 14, 2014 | Multiple integer overflows in (1) OPVPOutputDev.cxx and (2) oprs/OPVPSplash.cxx in the pdftoopvp filter in CUPS and cups-filters before 1.0.47 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. |
| CVE-2013-6474 | MEDIUM | 6.8 | Mar 14, 2014 | Heap-based buffer overflow in the pdftoopvp filter in CUPS and cups-filters before 1.0.47 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file. |
| CVE-2011-1400 | MEDIUM | 6.8 | Mar 25, 2011 | The default configuration of the shell_escape_commands directive in conf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf in the tex-common package before 2.08.1 in Debian GNU/Linux squeeze, Ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 LTS, and possibly other operating systems lists certain programs, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TeX document. |
| CVE-2018-14404 | MEDIUM | 6.5 | Jul 19, 2018 | A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the xpath.c:xmlXPathCompOpEval() function of libxml2 through 2.9.8 when parsing an invalid XPath expression in the XPATH_OP_AND or XPATH_OP_OR case. Applications processing untrusted XSL format inputs with the use of the libxml2 library may be vulnerable to a denial of service attack due to a crash of the application. |
| CVE-2015-3332 | MEDIUM | 4.9 | May 27, 2015 | A certain backport in the TCP Fast Open implementation for the Linux kernel before 3.18 does not properly maintain a count value, which allow local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via the Fast Open feature, as demonstrated by visiting the chrome://flags/#enable-tcp-fast-open URL when using certain 3.10.x through 3.16.x kernel builds, including longterm-maintenance releases and ckt (aka Canonical Kernel Team) builds. |
| CVE-2015-2041 | MEDIUM | 4.6 | Apr 21, 2015 | net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 uses an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry. |
| CVE-2011-4613 | MEDIUM | 4.6 | Feb 5, 2014 | The X.Org X wrapper (xserver-wrapper.c) in Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu Linux does not properly verify the TTY of a user who is starting X, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by associating stdin with a file that is misinterpreted as the console TTY. |
| CVE-2009-1573 | MEDIUM | 4.6 | May 6, 2009 | xvfb-run 1.6.1 in Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora 10, and possibly other operating systems place the magic cookie (MCOOKIE) on the command line, which allows local users to gain privileges by listing the process and its arguments. |
| CVE-2013-6476 | MEDIUM | 4.4 | Mar 14, 2014 | The OPVPWrapper::loadDriver function in oprs/OPVPWrapper.cxx in the pdftoopvp filter in CUPS and cups-filters before 1.0.47 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse driver in the same directory as the PDF file. |
| CVE-2012-2317 | MEDIUM | 4.3 | Aug 7, 2012 | The Debian php_crypt_revamped.patch patch for PHP 5.3.x, as used in the php5 package before 5.3.3-7+squeeze4 in Debian GNU/Linux squeeze, the php5 package before 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.17 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and the php5 package before 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.10 in Ubuntu 11.04, does not properly handle an empty salt string, which might allow remote attackers to bypass authentication by leveraging an application that relies on the PHP crypt function to choose a salt for password hashing. |
