An attacker can exploit these issues to compromise the affected application, gain unauthorized access to the application, execute arbitrary script code, steal cookie-based authentication credentials, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. Other attacks are also possible.
C-News is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
PeerCast is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. Successfully exploiting these issues will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.
Microsoft Excel is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to deny access to legitimate users. Given the nature of this vulnerability, attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.
Novell GroupWise is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability and a denial-of-service vulnerability. By exploiting the HTML-injection vulnerability, attackers can execute HTML and script code in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing them to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible. By exploiting the denial-of-service vulnerability, attackers can crash the application.
Siteman is prone to a local file-include vulnerability and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this as a cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. Or, the attacker may exploit the issue as a local file-include vulnerability to view files and execute local scripts in the context of the webserver process. This may aid in further attacks.
The Visites component for Joomla! is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.
Computer Associates ARCserve Backup is affected by a denial-of-service vulnerability because the application mishandles malformed user-supplied input. A remote attacker may exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions.
IBM Lotus Expeditor is prone to a command-execution vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize input. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands in the context of users that follow malicious URIs.
PHCDownload is prone to an SQL-injection and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. Attackers may also exploit these issues to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
