NSFOCUS Security Advisory(SA2000-03) - A denial of service vulnerability has been found in the IPX/SPX protocol implementation. When a WIN9x host receives a IPX NMPI packet that has the same source and destination machine name of its own, it will be lead to an infinite loop of sending and receiving packets. This attack will consume a large sum of CPU resource of attacked host, causing it to crash.

d4a2fa3f65a7eeae71ab52548598bc5ca4c0c7dbfa771ae2ca5d5761dcd8b08dThe idea of the International Kernel Patch is to collect all crypto patches so that using crypto in the kernel will be easier than today. The patch includes a number of crypto patches including a crypto API including Blowfish, CAST-128, DES, DFC, IDEA, MARS, RC6, Rijndael, Safer, Serpent, and Twofish, an encrypted filesystem loopback device using the crypto API, CIPE VPN and EnSKIP patches.

af4de5fd0b6c4b60da55f824fea6923076484b3b7300ac59488942c058981087SuSE Security Advisory - GNU cfengine, an abstract programming language for system administrators of large networks, has several local root format string vulnerabilities.
f52aec0643cadd4f2fb5e2f95f5fd9d3969b607abef7aebde0e82ce715404736SuSE Security Advisory - esound, a daemon program for the Gnome desktop, has a race condition which allows local attackers to change the permissions on any file on the filesystem.

74912457abcb06d1b3486b0919890ed721d24f2ed15b58307dd60bb46c085361The tmpwatch utility is used in Red Hat Linux to remove temporary files. This utility has an option to call the fuser program, which verifies if a file is currently opened by a process. The fuser program is invoked within tmpwatch by calling the system() library subroutine. Insecure handling of the arguments to this subroutine could potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

b9fd0228ceaa7acd36b390294012c3d5d088fdf1b259c1e0aa24325b927685a2The Linux Intrusion Detection System is a patch which enhances the kernel's security. When it's in effect, many system administration operations can be made impossible even for root. You can turn the security protection on or off on the fly and you can hide sensitive processes and prevent anyone from using ptrace or any other capability on your system. LIDS can also provide raw device and I/O access protection.
79caba0cc09f4e2260fe8e252037eb8b642e1d548a41a3902bc385a1480da117Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-072) - Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates the "Share Level Password" vulnerability in Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and Me. Microsoft Windows 9x/Me provides a password protection feature referred to as (share level access) for the File and Print Sharing service. However, due to the way the password feature is currently implemented, a file share can be compromised, by a malicious user who used a special client utility, without that user knowing the entire password required to access that share. Microsoft FAQ on this issue available here.
ccfedaa9a6012593410b937b115734c1127cb12ea74954b54661749c3acba5c8Red Hat Security Advisory - tmpwatch as shipped in Red Hat Linux 6.1, 6.2, and 7.0 uses fork() to recursively process subdirectories, enabling a local user to perform a denial of service attack. Tmpwatch from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and 7.0 also contains an option to allow it to use the fuser command to check for open files before removal. It executed fuser in an insecure fashion, allowing a local root exploit.

Exploit URL included. Fix available here.
a23909da35478f6a2095d6d342fb63d5f4accfbcc2879f4add37f28616e828c3Red Hat Security Advisory - The usermode package contains a binary (/usr/bin/userhelper), which is used to control access to programs which are to be executed as root. Because programs invoked by userhelper are not actually running setuid-root, security measures built into recent versions of glibc are not active. If one of these programs supports internationalized text messages, a malicious user can use the LANG or LC_ALL environment variables (which are inherited by userhelper and, in turn, any programs it runs) to create a format-string exploit in these programs.
9cd98a0ba94bc89f414dfce3803982f4cb2fb5e1b147b65066171642800aa1edThe ncurses library v4.2 and 5.0 contains exploitable buffer overflows which can be used to gain additional priveledge if there are SUID programs which use ncurses and the library implementation supports ~/.terminfo. Vulnerable programs found so far include Red Hat and SuSE cda, FreeBSD /usr/bin/systat, and OpenBSD /usr/bin/systat.

c216ccfd7bb412d411ec6ce30d33d782e379f3b95c50042b517f1d53c6b4cbc5Vigilante Advisory #14 - HP Jetdirect print servers have multiple vulnerabilities which have effects ranging from the service crashing to the printer initiating a firmware upgrade based on random garbage in the memory, and in some cases powercycling won't fix the crash. It requires a new firmware burn by eg. HP to restore the Jetdirect card. The FTP, Telnet, and LPD services contain buffer overflows, and spoofed malformed packets can crash the printer. Fix available here.
