Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.

rdist in various UNIX systems uses popen to execute sendmail, which allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable.

Vulnerability in accton in Cray UNICOS 6.1 and 6.0 allows local users to read arbitrary files and modify system accounting configuration.

The default configuration of the Array Services daemon (arrayd) disables authentication, allowing remote users to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in syslog utility allows local or remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in NLS (Natural Language Service).

Format string vulnerability in NQS daemon (nqsdaemon) in NQE 3.3.0.16 for CRAY UNICOS and SGI IRIX allows a local user to gain root privileges by using qsub to submit a batch job whose name contains formatting characters.

Multiple buffer overflows in Cray UNICOS 9.0.2.2 might allow local users to gain privileges by (1) invoking /usr/bin/script with a long command line argument or (2) setting the -c option of /etc/nu to the name of a file containing a long line.

Format string vulnerability in /bin/ftp in UNICOS 9.0.2.2 allows local users to have an unknown impact via format string specifiers in the quote command. NOTE: because the program is not setuid and not normally called from remote programs, there may not be a typical attack vector for the issue that crosses privilege boundaries. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.
