Buffer overflow in getsaltfrompassword from sqlacl.cc for MySQL 4.0.14 and earlier, and 3.23.x, allows attackers with ALTER TABLE privileges to execute arbitrary code via a long Password field.
The address parser code in Postfix 1.1.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (lock) via (1) a malformed envelope address to a local host that would generate a bounce and contains the ".!" string in the MAIL FROM or Errors-To headers, which causes nqmgr to lock up, or (2) via a valid MAIL FROM with a RCPT TO containing a ".!" string, which causes an instance of the SMTP listener to lock up.
Postfix 1.1.11 and earlier allows remote attackers to use Postfix to conduct "bounce scans" or DDos attacks of other hosts via an email address to the local host containing the target IP address and service name followed by a "!" string, which causes Postfix to attempt to use SMTP to communicate with the target on the associated port.
Multiple shell programs on various Unix systems, including (1) tcsh, (2) csh, (3) sh, and (4) bash, follow symlinks when processing << redirects (aka here-documents or in-here documents), which allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.
modprobe in the modutils 2.3.x package on Linux systems allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.
Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.
The logrotate script for OpenLDAP before 1.2.11 in Conectiva Linux sends an improper signal to the kernel log daemon (klogd) and kills it.
The wrapper program in mailman 2.0beta3 and 2.0beta4 does not properly cleanse untrusted format strings, which allows local users to gain privileges.
Vulnerability in gpm in Caldera Linux allows local users to delete arbitrary files or conduct a denial of service.
pamconsole PAM module in Linux systems allows a user to access the system console and reboot the system when a display manager such as gdm or kdm has XDMCP enabled.
DiskCheck script diskcheck.pl in Red Hat Linux 6.2 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
rpc.statd in the nfs-utils package in various Linux distributions does not properly cleanse untrusted format strings, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.
Vulnerability in Mandrake Linux usermode package allows local users to to reboot or halt the system.
tcl/tk package (tcltk) 8.3.1 searches for its libraries in the current working directory before other directories, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse library that is under a user-controlled directory.
expect before 5.32 searches for its libraries in /var/tmp before other directories, which could allow local users to gain root privileges via a Trojan horse library that is accessed by mkpasswd.
htsearch CGI program in htdig (ht://Dig) 3.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to use the -c option to specify an alternate configuration file, which could be used to (1) cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by specifying a large file such as /dev/zero, or (2) read arbitrary files by uploading an alternate configuration file that specifies the target file.
Format string vulnerability in exim (3.22-10 in Red Hat, 3.12 in Debian and 3.16 in Conectiva) in batched SMTP mode allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via format strings in SMTP mail headers.
Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.
licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a URL.
Buffer overflow in logging functions of licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands.
kdesu program in KDE2 (KDE before 2.2.0-6) does not properly verify the owner of a UNIX socket that is used to send a password, which allows local users to steal passwords and gain privileges.
glibc 2.1.9x and earlier does not properly clear the RESOLVHOSTCONF, HOSTALIASES, or RESOPTIONS environmental variables when executing setuid/setgid programs, which could allow local users to read arbitrary files.
Memory leak in ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a series of USER commands, and possibly SIZE commands if the server has been improperly installed.
Zope before 2.2.4 does not properly compute local roles, which could allow users to bypass specified access restrictions and gain privileges.
Off-by-one error in the channel code of OpenSSH 2.0 through 3.0.2 allows local users or remote malicious servers to gain privileges.
Race condition in the (1) loadelflibrary and (2) binfmtaout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.
Integer overflow in the TIFFFetchStripThing function in tifdirread.c for libtiff 3.6.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with the STRIPOFFSETS flag and a large number of strips, which causes a zero byte buffer to be allocated and leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.
The POSIX Capability Linux Security Module (LSM) for Linux kernel 2.6 does not properly handle the credentials of a process that is launched before the module is loaded, which allows local users to gain privileges.
Unknown vulnerability in the DICOM dissector in Ethereal 0.10.4 through 0.10.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).
Multiple vulnerabilities in Konqueror in KDE 3.3.1 and earlier (1) allow access to restricted Java classes via JavaScript and (2) do not properly restrict access to certain Java classes from the Java applet, which allows remote attackers to bypass sandbox restrictions and read or write arbitrary files.
