aaa_base in SuSE Linux 6.3, and cron.daily in earlier versions, allow local users to delete arbitrary files by creating files whose names include spaces, which are then incorrectly interpreted by aaa_base when it deletes expired files from the /tmp directory.

PalmOS 3/4 - ICMP Flood Remote Denial of Service

PalmOS 3/4 - ICMP Flood Remote Denial of Service

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7597/info
A problem with PalmOS may result in a denial of service.
It has been reported that PalmOS becomes unstable when flooded with ICMP ECHO_REQUEST traffic. A remote attacker can trigger a device lockup condition or cause the Palm OS device to loose network connectivity.
This could allow a remote attacker to deny service to legitimate users of a PalmOS device that is connected to a network.

SuSE Linux 6.x - Arbitrary File Deletion

CVE-2000-0293 SuSE Linux 6.x - Arbitrary File Deletion
SuSE Linux 6.x - Arbitrary File Deletion
---
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1130/info
A vulnerability exists in SuSE Linux, version 6.3 and prior, that can allow arbitrary users to delete any file on the system. If the MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP variable is set in /etc/rc.config to be larger than 0, any local user can remove any file on the system. This is due to a flaw in /etc/cron.daily/aaa_base in SuSE 6.3, or /root/bin/cron.daily in older versions.
It has been reported that only files in the root directory (/) can be removed. Previously, it was thought arbitrary files anywhere on the filesystem could be removed.
mkdir -p "/tmp/foo vmlinux"
touch -t old-date "/tmp/foo vmlinux"

CWE
Improper Neutralization of Delimiters
mitre_cwe
CWE-140 Improper Neutralization of Delimiters
CWE-140: Improper Neutralization of Delimiters
The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes delimiters.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Integrity. Impact: Unexpected State.
Potential Mitigations:
[Implementation] Developers should anticipate that delimiters will be injected/removed/manipulated in the input vectors of their product. Use an appropriate combination of denylists and allowlists to ensure only valid, expected and appropriate input is processed by the system.
[Implementation] Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it int
CWE
Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence
mitre_cwe
CWE-41 Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence
CWE-41: Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence
The product is vulnerable to file system contents disclosure through path equivalence. Path equivalence involves the use of special characters in file and directory names. The associated manipulations are intended to generate multiple names for the same object.
Path equivalence is usually employed in order to circumvent access controls expressed using an incomplete set of file name or file path representations. This is different from path traversal, wherein the manipulations are performed to generate a name for a different object.

Scope: Confidentiality, Integrity, Access Control. Impact: Read Files or Directories, Modify Files or Directories, Bypass Protection Mechanism. A
CWE
Improper Neutralization of Value Delimiters
mitre_cwe
CWE-142 Improper Neutralization of Value Delimiters
CWE-142: Improper Neutralization of Value Delimiters
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as value delimiters when they are sent to a downstream component.
As data is parsed, an injected/absent/malformed delimiter may cause the process to take unexpected actions.

mitre_cwe·CVSS 2.1
[LOW] CWE-48 Path Equivalence: 'file name' (Internal Whitespace)
CWE-48: Path Equivalence: 'file name' (Internal Whitespace)
The product accepts path input in the form of internal space ('file(SPACE)name') without appropriate validation, which can lead to ambiguous path resolution and allow an attacker to traverse the file system to unintended locations or access arbitrary files.

Observed Examples:
CVE-2000-0293: Filenames with spaces allow arbitrary file deletion when the product does not properly quote them; some overlap with path traversal.
