| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2019-11235 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Apr 22, 2019 | FreeRADIUS before 3.0.19 mishandles the "each participant verifies that the received scalar is within a range, and that the received group element is a valid point on the curve being used" protection mechanism, aka a "Dragonblood" issue, a similar issue to CVE-2019-9498 and CVE-2019-9499. |
| CVE-2019-11234 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Apr 22, 2019 | FreeRADIUS before 3.0.19 does not prevent use of reflection for authentication spoofing, aka a "Dragonblood" issue, a similar issue to CVE-2019-9497. |
| CVE-2008-2374 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Jul 7, 2008 | src/sdp.c in bluez-libs 3.30 in BlueZ, and other bluez-libs before 3.34 and bluez-utils before 3.34 versions, does not validate string length fields in SDP packets, which allows remote SDP servers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted length field that triggers excessive memory allocation or a buffer over-read. |
| CVE-2008-2108 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | May 7, 2008 | The GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5, when running on 64-bit systems, performs a multiplication that generates a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision, which produces 24 bits of entropy and simplifies brute force attacks against protection mechanisms that use the rand and mt_rand functions. |
| CVE-2008-0599 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | May 5, 2008 | The init_request_info function in sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in PHP before 5.2.6 does not properly consider operator precedence when calculating the length of PATH_TRANSLATED, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI. |
| CVE-2008-0062 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Mar 19, 2008 | KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not set a global variable for some krb4 message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted messages that trigger a NULL pointer dereference or double-free. |
| CVE-2007-6013 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Nov 19, 2007 | Wordpress 1.5 through 2.3.1 uses cookie values based on the MD5 hash of a password MD5 hash, which allows attackers to bypass authentication by obtaining the MD5 hash from the user database, then generating the authentication cookie from that hash. |
| CVE-2008-5021 | HIGH | 9.3 | Nov 13, 2008 | nsFrameManager in Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by modifying properties of a file input element while it is still being initialized, then using the blur method to access uninitialized memory. |
| CVE-2007-6427 | HIGH | 9.3 | Jan 18, 2008 | The XInput extension in X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via requests related to byte swapping and heap corruption within multiple functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4990. |
| CVE-2019-10132 | HIGH | 8.8 | May 22, 2019 | A vulnerability was found in libvirt >= 4.1.0 in the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket systemd units. A missing SocketMode configuration parameter allows any user on the host to connect using virtlockd-admin-sock or virtlogd-admin-sock and perform administrative tasks against the virtlockd and virtlogd daemons. |
| CVE-2010-4661 | HIGH | 7.8 | Nov 13, 2019 | udisks before 1.0.3 allows a local user to load arbitrary Linux kernel modules. |
| CVE-2018-5345 | HIGH | 7.8 | Jan 12, 2018 | A stack-based buffer overflow within GNOME gcab through 0.7.4 can be exploited by malicious attackers to cause a crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code via a crafted .cab file. |
| CVE-2008-3282 | HIGH | 7.8 | Aug 29, 2008 | Integer overflow in the rtl_allocateMemory function in sal/rtl/source/alloc_global.c in the memory allocator in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.4.1, on 64-bit platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted document, related to a "numeric truncation error," a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2152. |
| CVE-2019-3804 | HIGH | 7.5 | Mar 26, 2019 | It was found that cockpit before version 184 used glib's base64 decode functionality incorrectly resulting in a denial of service attack. An unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted request with an invalid base64-encoded cookie which could cause the web service to crash. |
| CVE-2008-4577 | HIGH | 7.5 | Oct 15, 2008 | The ACL plugin in Dovecot before 1.1.4 treats negative access rights as if they are positive access rights, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| CVE-2008-3223 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jul 18, 2008 | SQL injection vulnerability in the Schema API in Drupal 6.x before 6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to "an inappropriate placeholder for 'numeric' fields." |
| CVE-2008-2371 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jul 7, 2008 | Heap-based buffer overflow in pcre_compile.c in the Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) library 7.7 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a regular expression that begins with an option and contains multiple branches. |
| CVE-2008-0063 | HIGH | 7.5 | Mar 19, 2008 | The Kerberos 4 support in KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not properly clear the unused portion of a buffer when generating an error message, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, aka "Uninitialized stack values." |
| CVE-2007-6601 | HIGH | 7.2 | Jan 9, 2008 | The DBLink module in PostgreSQL 8.2 before 8.2.6, 8.1 before 8.1.11, 8.0 before 8.0.15, 7.4 before 7.4.19, and 7.3 before 7.3.21, when local trust or ident authentication is used, allows remote attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3278. |
| CVE-2007-1320 | HIGH | 7.2 | May 2, 2007 | Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the cirrus_invalidate_region function in the Cirrus VGA extension in QEMU 0.8.2, as used in Xen and possibly other products, might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors related to "attempting to mark non-existent regions as dirty," aka the "bitblt" heap overflow. |
