Lighttpd

CVE-2008-1531

The connection_state_machine function (connections.c) in lighttpd 1.4.19 and earlier, and 1.5.x before 1.5.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (active SSL connection loss) by triggering an SSL error, such as disconnecting before a download has finished, which causes all active SSL connections to be lost. (CVSS:4.3) (Last Update:2011-10-11)

Nagios

CVE-2008-1360

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Nagios before 2.11 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unknown vectors to unspecified CGI scripts, a different issue than CVE-2007-5624. (CVSS:4.3) (Last Update:2008-09-05)

Lighttpd

CVE-2008-1270

mod_userdir in lighttpd 1.4.18 and earlier, when userdir.path is not set, uses a default of $HOME, which might allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, as demonstrated by accessing the ~nobody directory. (CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2008-09-05)

Lighttpd

CVE-2008-1111

mod_cgi in lighttpd 1.4.18 sends the source code of CGI scripts instead of a 500 error when a fork failure occurs, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. (CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2011-09-21)

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-018
  • Project: Drupal core
  • Version: 6.0
  • Date: 2008-February-27
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities

Description

Titles are not escaped prior to being displayed on content edit forms, allowing users to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into these pages.

The Drupal.checkPlain function, used to escape text in ECMAScript, contains a bug which causes it to escape only the first instance of a character, allowing users to inject arbitrary HTML and script code in certain pages.

Wikipedia has more information about cross site scripting (XSS).

Versions affected

Lighttpd

CVE-2008-0983

lighttpd 1.4.18, and possibly other versions before 1.5.0, does not properly calculate the size of a file descriptor array, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large number of connections, which triggers an out-of-bounds access. (CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2008-09-10)

Apple

CVE-2008-0830

The Digital Photo Access Protocol (DPAP) server for iPhoto 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed dpap: URI, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-0043. (CVSS:7.5) (Last Update:2008-09-05)

Apple

CVE-2008-0778

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in an ActiveX control in QTPlugin.ocx for Apple QuickTime 7.4.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) SetBgColor, (2) SetHREF, (3) SetMovieName, (4) SetTarget, and (5) SetMatrix methods. (CVSS:7.5) (Last Update:2008-09-05)

SA-2008-007 – Drupal core – Cross site scripting (register_globals)

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-007
  • Project: Drupal core
  • Version: 4.7.x, 5.x
  • Date: 2008-January-10
  • Security risk: Less critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross site scripting when register_globals is enabled.

Description

When theme .tpl.php files are accessible via the web and the PHP setting register_globals is set to enabled, anonymous users are able to execute cross site scripting attacks via specially crafted links.

Drupals .htaccess attempts to set register_globals to disabled and also prevents access to .tpl.php files. Only when both these measures are not effective and your PHP interpreter is configured with register_globals set to enabled, will this issue affect you.

Versions affected

  • Drupal 4.7.x
  • Drupal 5.x

Solutions

  1. Disable register_globals. Please refer to the PHP documentation on information how to configure PHP.
  2. Ensure .tpl.php files are not accessible via the web.

Drupal 4.7.11 and 5.6 will present a warning on the administration page when register_globals is enabled. Drupal 5.6 will refuse installation on an insecurely configured server. Existing sites will continue to work.
