Package(s):mapserver CVE #(s):CVE-2009-0839 CVE-2009-0840 CVE-2009-0841 CVE-2009-0842 CVE-2009-0843 CVE-2009-1176 CVE-2009-1177
Created:April 7, 2009 Updated:October 23, 2009
Description: From the Red Hat bugzilla:

Stack-based buffer overflow in mapserv.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2, when the server has a map with a long IMAGEPATH or NAME attribute, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted id parameter in a query action. CVE-2009-0839

Heap-based buffer underflow in the readPostBody function in cgiutil.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via a negative value in the Content-Length HTTP header. CVE-2009-0840

Directory traversal vulnerability in mapserv.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2, when running on Windows with Cygwin, allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the id parameter. CVE-2009-0841

mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary invalid .map files via a full pathname in the map parameter, which triggers the display of partial file contents within an error message, as demonstrated by a /tmp/sekrut.map symlink. CVE-2009-0842

The msLoadQuery function in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files via a full pathname in the queryfile parameter, which triggers different error messages depending on whether this pathname exists. CVE-2009-0843

mapserv.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 does not ensure that the string holding the id parameter ends in a '\0' character, which allows remote attackers to conduct buffer-overflow attacks or have unspecified other impact via a long id parameter in a query action. CVE-2009-1176

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in maptemplate.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 have unknown impact and remote attack vectors. CVE-2009-1177
