Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In 2017
The Apache OpenOffice installer (versions prior to 4.1.3, including some branded as OpenOffice.org) for Windows contains a defective operation that allows execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This requires that the location in which the installer is run has been previously poisoned by a file that impersonates a dynamic-link library that the installer depends upon.
An issue has been discovered on the Belden Hirschmann Tofino Xenon Security Appliance before 03.2.00. An incomplete firmware signature allows a local attacker to upgrade the equipment (kernel, file system) with unsigned, attacker-controlled, data. This occurs because the appliance_config file is signed but the .tar.sec file is unsigned.
An issue has been discovered on the Belden Hirschmann Tofino Xenon Security Appliance before 03.2.00. Improper handling of the mbap.length field of ModBus packets in the ModBus DPI filter allows an attacker to send malformed/crafted packets to a protected asset, bypassing function code filtering.
An issue has been discovered on the Belden Hirschmann Tofino Xenon Security Appliance before 03.2.00. Design flaws in OPC classic and in custom netfilter modules allow an attacker to remotely activate rules on the firewall and to connect to any TCP port of a protected asset, thus bypassing the firewall. The attack methodology is a crafted OPC dynamic port shift.
In the add_match function in libbb/lineedit.c in BusyBox through 1.27.2, the tab autocomplete feature of the shell, used to get a list of filenames in a directory, does not sanitize filenames and results in executing any escape sequence in the terminal. This could potentially result in code execution, arbitrary file writes, or other attacks.
In Moodle 3.x, students can find out email addresses of other students in the same course. Using search on the Participants page, students could search email addresses of all participants regardless of email visibility. This allows enumerating and guessing emails of other students.
In Laravel framework through 5.5.21, remote attackers can obtain sensitive information (such as externally usable passwords) via a direct request for the /.env URI. NOTE: this CVE is only about Laravel framework's writeNewEnvironmentFileWith function in src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/KeyGenerateCommand.php, which uses file_put_contents without restricting the .env permissions. The .env filename is not used exclusively by Laravel framework.
In Bftpd before 4.7, there is a memory leak in the file rename function.
Icinga Core through 1.14.0 initially executes bin/icinga as root but supports configuration options in which this file is owned by a non-root account (and similarly can have etc/icinga.cfg owned by a non-root account), which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this non-root account, a related issue to CVE-2017-14312. This also affects bin/icingastats, bin/ido2db, and bin/log2ido.
The outputSWF_TEXT_RECORD function in util/outputscript.c in libming <= 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.
