The Device Mapper multipathing driver (aka multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath) 0.4.8, as used in SUSE openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), Fedora, and possibly other operating systems, uses world-writable permissions for the socket file (aka /var/run/multipathd.sock), which allows local users to send arbitrary commands to the multipath daemon.

script command in the util-linux package before 2.11n allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by setting a hardlink from the typescript log file to any file on the system, then having root execute the script command.

BusyBox 1.1.1 does not use a salt when generating passwords, which makes it easier for local users to guess passwords from a stolen password file using techniques such as rainbow tables.

Unspecified vulnerability in the administrative interface in Avaya Messaging Storage Server (MSS) 3.1 before SP1, and Message Networking (MN) 3.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors related to "input validation."

The Linux kernel before 2.6.25.10 does not properly perform tty operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving NULL pointer dereference of function pointers in (1) hamradio/6pack.c, (2) hamradio/mkiss.c, (3) irda/irtty-sir.c, (4) pppasync.c, (5) pppsynctty.c, (6) slip.c, (7) wan/x25asy.c, and (8) wireless/strip.c in drivers/net/.

A Null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in Mozilla Network Security Services due to a missing NULL check in PK11SignWithSymKey / ssl3ComputeRecordMACConstantTime, which could let a remote malicious user cause a Denial of Service.
