Insight
It was discovered that the XML HMAC signature system did not correctly check certain lengths. If an attacker sent a truncated HMAC, it could bypass authentication, leading to potential privilege escalation.
(CVE-2009-0217)
It was discovered that Mono did not properly escape certain attributes in the ASP.net class libraries which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks when processing the output. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), within the same domain. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-3422)
It was discovered that Mono did not properly filter CRLF injections in the query string. If a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, steal confidential data (such as passwords), or perform cross-site request forgeries. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
