A flaw was found in the default configuration of dnsmasq, as shipped with Fedora versions prior to 31 and in all versions Red Hat Enterprise Linux, where it listens on any interface and accepts queries from addresses outside of its local subnet. In particular, the option `local-service` is not enabled. Running dnsmasq in this manner may inadvertently make it an open resolver accessible from any address on the internet. This flaw allows an attacker to conduct a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) against other systems.
The CentralNotice extension for MediaWiki before 1.19.9, 1.20.x before 1.20.8, and 1.21.x before 1.21.3 sets the Cache-Control header to cache session cookies when a user is autocreated, which allows remote attackers to authenticate as the created user.
packet.py in pyrad before 2.1 uses weak random numbers to generate RADIUS authenticators and hash passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a brute force attack.
Eval injection vulnerability in the Module-Metadata module before 1.000015 for Perl allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Perl code via the $Version value.
The py-bcrypt module before 0.3 for Python does not properly handle concurrent memory access, which allows attackers to bypass authentication via multiple authentication requests, which trigger the password hash to be overwritten.
Symfony 2.0.X before 2.0.24, 2.1.X before 2.1.12, 2.2.X before 2.2.5, and 2.3.X before 2.3.3 have an issue in the HttpFoundation component. The Host header can be manipulated by an attacker when the framework is generating an absolute URL. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious content into the Web application page and conduct various attacks.
gksu-polkit-0.0.3-6.fc18 was reported as fixing the issue in CVE-2012-5617 but the patch was improperly applied and it did not fixed the security issue.
The file /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings within Red Hat OpenStack Platform 2.0 and RHOS Essex Release (python-django-horizon package before 2012.1.1) is world readable and exposes the secret key value.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way the server component of Freeciv before 2.3.4 processed certain packets. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted packet that, when processed would lead to memory exhaustion or excessive CPU consumption.
