Improper Neutralization in bcrypt.

This package suffered from a bug related to character encoding that substantially reduced the entropy of hashed passwords containing non US-ASCII characters. An incorrect encoding step transparently replaced such characters by '?' prior to hashing. In the worst case of a password consisting solely of non-US-ASCII characters, this would cause its hash to be equivalent to all other such passwords of the same length. This issue only affects the JRuby …

Potential Security Issues in Bundled Dojo Library.

Potential XSS vector in Zend_Service_ReCaptcha_MailHide.

Potential XSS vectors due to inconsistent encodings.

Potential XSS vector in Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Editor.

Potential XSS vector in Zend_Filter_StripTags when comments allowed.

This package is vulnerable to Timing Attacks.

A security problem involving peer certificate verification was found where failed verification silently did nothing, making affected applications vulnerable to attackers. Attackers could lead a client application to believe that a secure connection to a rogue SSL server is legitimate. Attackers could also penetrate client-validated SSL server applications with a dummy certificate.

XMLScanner.java allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and application hang) via malformed XML input.

This package uses a parameter that defines an HMAC truncation length (HMACOutputLength) but does not require a minimum for this length, which allows attackers to spoof HMAC-based signatures and bypass authentication by specifying a truncation length with a small number of bits.

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in this package allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via serializable data with a long regex string containing multiple optional groups, a related issue to CVE-2004-2540.

ParametersInterceptor does not properly restrict # (pound sign) references to context objects, which allows remote attackers to execute Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) statements and modify server-side context objects, as demonstrated by use of a \u0023 representation for the # character.

Remote attackers could execute Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) statements and modify server-side context objects, as demonstrated by use of a # representation for the # character.

XSS vector in Zend_Filter_StripTags.

File Inclusion vector in Zend_View::setScriptPath() and render().

pyrad is vulnerable to multiple XSS vulnerabilities.

The issue is due to the program not properly sanitizing user-supplied input related to the :limit and :offset functions. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.

Activeresource contains a format string flaw in the request function of lib/active_resource/connection.rb. The issue is triggered as format string specifiers (e.g. %s and %x) are not properly sanitized in user-supplied input when passed via the result.code and result.message variables. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.

Format string vulnerability in the mdiag_initialize function in gtk/src/rbgtkmessagedialog.c in Ruby-GNOME 2 (aka Ruby/Gnome2), and SVN, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the message parameter.

This package contains a flaw in the handling of tag names. The issue is triggered when the program reads tag names from XML data and then calls a method with that name. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can call private methods and manipulate data.

This package contains an overflow condition that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling specially crafted data. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
