Unspecified vulnerability in GNU m4 before 1.4.11 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to improper handling of filenames specified with the -F option. NOTE: it is not clear when this issue crosses privilege boundaries.
CVE-2008-1687
The (1) maketemp and (2) mkstemp builtin functions in GNU m4 before 1.4.11 do not quote their output when a file is created, which might allow context-dependent attackers to trigger a macro expansion, leading to unspecified use of an incorrect filename.
CVE-2008-1686
Array index vulnerability in Speex 1.1.12 and earlier, as used in libfishsound 0.9.0 and earlier, including Illiminable DirectShow Filters and Annodex Plugins for Firefox, xine-lib before 1.1.12, and many other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a header structure containing a negative offset, which is used to dereference a function pointer.
CVE-2008-1685
** DISPUTED ** gcc 4.2.0 through 4.3.0 in GNU Compiler Collection, when casts are not used, considers the sum of a pointer and an int to be greater than or equal to the pointer, which might lead to removal of length testing code that was intended as a protection mechanism against integer overflow and buffer overflow attacks, and provide no diagnostic message about this removal. NOTE: the vendor has determined that this compiler behavior is correct according to section 6.5.6 of the C99 standard (aka ISO/IEC 9899:1999).
CVE-2008-1684
inetd on Sun Solaris 10, when debug logging is enabled, allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /var/tmp/inetd.log temporary file.
