PolyGen 1.0.6 is affected by this vulnerability.

43. WhitSoft Development SlimFTPd Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 14723
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2005-09-02
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14723
Summary:
SlimFTPd is prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to handle exceptional conditions.

The problem presents itself during login. The application fails to handle malicious input in a proper manner resulting in a crash of the server, thus denying service to legitimate users.

44. GBook Multiple Unspecified Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
BugTraq ID: 14725
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2005-09-02
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14725
Summary:
gBook is prone to multiple unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage any of these issues to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.

45. OpenSSH DynamicForward Inadvertent GatewayPorts Activation Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 14727
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2005-09-01
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14727
Summary:
OpenSSH is susceptible to a vulnerability that causes improper activation of the 'GatewayPorts' option, allowing unintended hosts to utilize the SSH SOCKS proxy.

Specifically, if the 'DynamicForward' option is activated, 'GatewayPorts' is also unconditionally enabled.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to utilize the SOCKS proxy to make arbitrary TCP connections through the configured SSH session, allowing them to attack computers and services through a connection that was inappropriately thought to be secure.

This issue affects OpenSSH 4.0, and 4.1.

46. PBLang Bulletin Board System Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities
BugTraq ID: 14728
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2005-09-02
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14728
Summary:
PBLang is reported prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities.

Two access validation errors can allow an attacker to gain access to restricted content and delete arbitrary messages.

Another vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary script code into a site and create an administrative account.

PBLang versions prior to 4.66z are affected by these issues.

47. OpenSSH GSSAPI Credential Disclosure Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 14729
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2005-09-01
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14729
Summary:
OpenSSH is susceptible to a GSSAPI credential delegation vulnerability.

Specifically, if a user has GSSAPI authentication configured, and 'GSSAPIDelegateCredentials' is enabled, their Kerberos credentials will be forwarded to remote hosts. This occurs even when the user uses authentication methods other than GSSAPI to connect, which is not what is usually expected.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to improperly gain access to GSSAPI credentials, allowing them to utilize the credentials to access resources granted to the original principal.

This issue affects versions of OpenSSH prior to 4.2.

48. FileZilla FTP Client Hard-Coded Cipher Key Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 14730
Remote: No
Date Published: 2005-09-02
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14730
Summary:
FileZilla FTP client may allow local attackers to obtain user passwords and access remote servers.

The application uses a hard-coded cipher key to decrypt the password, which is stored in an XML file or the Windows Registry.

This can allow the attacker to gain access to an FTP server with the privileges of the victim.

49. Squid Proxy SSLConnectTimeout Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 14731
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2005-09-01
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14731
Summary:
A remote denial of service vulnerability affects the Squid Proxy. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly handle exceptional network requests.

A remote attacker may leverage this issue to crash the affected Squid Proxy, denying service to legitimate users.

50. Plain Black Software WebGUI Remote Perl Command Execution Vulnerabilities
BugTraq ID: 14732
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2005-09-01
Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14732
Summary:
WebGUI may be exploited to execute arbitrary Perl commands. This issue presents itself due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data.

Remote attackers may execute arbitrary Perl commands in the context of the Web server hosting the vulnerable application. This can facilitate unauthorized remote access.

Versions of WebGUI prior to 6.7.3 are vulnerable.
