Searching slackware software vulnerabilities


ypbind with -ypset and -ypsetme options activat


ypbind with -ypset and -ypsetme options activated in Linux Slackware and SunOS allows local and remote attackers to overwrite files via a .. (dot dot) attack.


rxvt, when compiled with the PRINT_PIPE option


rxvt, when compiled with the PRINT_PIPE option in various Linux operating systems including Linux Slackware 3.0 and RedHat 2.1, allows local users to gain root privileges by specifying a malicious program using the -print-pipe command line parameter.


The default configuration of Slackware 3.4, and


The default configuration of Slackware 3.4, and possibly other versions, includes . (dot, the current directory) in the PATH environmental variable, which could allow local users to create Trojan horse programs that are inadvertently executed by other users.


login in Slackware Linux 3.2 through 3.5 does n


login in Slackware Linux 3.2 through 3.5 does not properly check for an error when the /etc/group file is missing, which prevents it from dropping privileges, causing it to assign root privileges to any local user who logs on to the server.


Vulnerability in imapd and ipop3d in Slackware


Vulnerability in imapd and ipop3d in Slackware 3.4 and 3.3 with shadowing enabled, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to cause a core dump via a short sequence of USER and PASS commands that do not provide valid usernames or passwords.


Buffer overflow in TestChip function in XFree86


Buffer overflow in TestChip function in XFree86 SuperProbe in Slackware Linux 3.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long -nopr argument.


rc.M in Slackware 9.0 calls quotacheck with the


rc.M in Slackware 9.0 calls quotacheck with the -M option, which causes the filesystem to be remounted and possibly reset security-relevant mount flags such as nosuid, nodev, and noexec.


The PHP package in Slackware 8.1, 9.0, and 9.1,


The PHP package in Slackware 8.1, 9.0, and 9.1, when linked against a static library, includes /tmp in the search path, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code as the PHP user by inserting shared libraries into the appropriate path.


umount, when running with the Linux 2.6.15 kern


umount, when running with the Linux 2.6.15 kernel on Slackware Linux 10.2, allows local users to trigger a NULL dereference and application crash by invoking the program with a pathname for a USB pen drive that was mounted and then physically removed, which might allow the users to obtain sensitive information, including core file contents.


xterm on Slackware Linux 10.2 stores informatio


xterm on Slackware Linux 10.2 stores information that had been displayed for a different user account using the same xterm process, which might allow local users to bypass file permissions and read other users' files, or obtain other sensitive information, by reading the xterm process memory. NOTE: it could be argued that this is an expected consequence of multiple users sharing the same interactive process, in which case this is not a vulnerability.


SlackRoll before 8 accepts gpg exit codes other


SlackRoll before 8 accepts gpg exit codes other than 0 and 1 as evidence of a valid signature, which allows remote Slackware mirror sites or man-in-the-middle attackers to cause a denial of service (data inconsistency) or possibly install Trojan horse packages via malformed gpg signatures.
