O’Reilly Network: Security Alerts: IBM Websphere, Shockwave Flash, and emacs Advisories

“Problems this week include minor problems with sendmail,
exposure problems with Lotus Domino, problems in the default setup
of Informix Webdriver and IBM Websphere Commerce Suite, a buffer
overflow in Shockwave Flash, denial of service attacks against
login, privacy problems in emacs, symlink attack in exmh, and a
potential exploit against GTK+.”

“Sendmail, Inc. and the Sendmail Consortium have released
sendmail 8.11.2. Fixed in sendmail 8.11.2 is a segmentation fault
in address test mode (not believed to be exploitable), IPv6 address
problems, a problem with the Cyrus-SASL security layer, a problem
with QueueSortOrder by host, delivery to set-user-ID files expanded
from aliases, and many more.”

“Lotus Domino 5.0.5’s web server has a vulnerability that can be
used to read files outside the web server root. By using a
carefully crafted URL, a remote user can read arbitrary files on
the web server. This can be used to gather information on the
system that can be used in an attack.”
