Ingres: several vulnerabilities

Synthesis of the vulnerability

Several vulnerabilities affects the Ingres database.

Severity: 3/4. Creation date: 22/06/2007. Revision date: 26/06/2007.

Description of the vulnerability

Several vulnerabilities affects the Ingres database. An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the 21064/tcp port and corrupt memory via QUremove() function in order to execute code. [severity:3/4; 115927, CAID 35450, CVE-2007-3336, >] An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the 21064/tcp port and corrupt memory via QUinsert() function in order to execute code. [severity:3/4; 115927, CAID 35450, CVE-2007-3336, >] The wakeup program is suid ingres. It creates the "alarmwkp.def" file in the current directory and truncates it if it already exists. A local attacker can therefore use the wakeup program to alter a file with rights of ingres user. [severity:3/4; 115913, CAID 35451, CVE-2007-3337, >] The uuid_from_char SQL function creates an UUID corresponding to a pattern indicated as parameter. An authenticated attacker can use a long parameter in order to generate a buffer overflow in uuid_from_char. [severity:3/4; 115911, CAID 35452, CVE-2007-3338, >] The verifydb program is installed suid ingres. When its '-dbms_test' parameter is too long, an overflow occurs in the duve_get_args() function. [severity:3/4; 115911, CAID 35452, CVE-2007-3338, >] Under Windows, an attacker can connect to the 10916/tcp port (iigcc.exe, Communications Server) in order to generate an overflow. [severity:3/4; 117523, CVE-2007-3334, >] Under Windows, an attacker can connect to the 10923/tcp port (iigcd.exe, Data Access server) in order to generate an overflow. [severity:3/4; 117523, CVE-2007-3334, >] These vulnerabilities permit a local or remote attacker to execute code.
