Buffer overflow in ncurses library allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via long environmental information such as TERM or TERMINFODIRS.

Buffer overflow in ncurses 5.0, and the ncurses4 compatibility package as used in Red Hat Linux, allows local users to gain privileges, related to "routines for moving the physical cursor and scrolling."

The qleioctl function in sys/dev/qlxgbe/qlioctl.c in the kernel in FreeBSD 10 and earlier does not validate a certain size parameter, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call.

The qlseioctl function in sys/dev/qlxge/qlsioctl.c in the kernel in FreeBSD 10 and earlier does not validate a certain size parameter, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call.

The nandioctl function in sys/dev/nand/nandgeom.c in the nand driver in the kernel in FreeBSD 10 and earlier does not properly initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call.

Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.

Integer overflow in the fcount counter in FreeBSD before 4.2 through 5.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple calls to (1) fpathconf and (2) lseek, which do not properly decrement fcount through a call to fdrop.

Race condition in exec in OpenBSD 4.0 and earlier, NetBSD 1.5.2 and earlier, and FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by attaching a debugger to a process before the kernel has determined that the process is setuid or setgid.

FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by creating a large number of socket pairs using the socketpair function, setting a large buffer size via setsockopt, then writing large buffers.

The undocumented semconfig system call in BSD freezes the state of semaphores, which allows local users to cause a denial of service of the semaphore system by using the semconfig call.

NetBSD 1.4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a packet with an unaligned IP timestamp option.

Buffer overflow in FreeBSD libmytinfo library allows local users to execute commands via a long TERMCAP environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in the huh program in the orville-write package allows local users to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in the dump utility in the Linux ext2fs backup package allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

asmon and ascpu in FreeBSD allow local users to gain root privileges via a configuration file.

The BSD make program allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack when the -j option is being used.

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

The setlocale function in FreeBSD 5.0 and earlier, and possibly other OSes, allows local users to read arbitrary files via the LANG environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in catopen() function in FreeBSD 5.0 and earlier, and possibly other OSes, allows local users to gain root privileges via a long environmental variable.

The catopen function in FreeBSD 5.0 and earlier, and possibly other OSes, allows local users to read arbitrary files via the LANG environmental variable.

Format string vulnerability in pwerror function in BSD libutil library allows local users to gain root privileges via a malformed password in commands such as chpass or passwd.

Buffer overflow in the Linux binary compatibility module in FreeBSD 3.x through 5.x allows local users to gain root privileges via long filenames in the linux shadow file system.

FreeBSD 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x allows local users to cause a denial of service by executing a program with a malformed ELF image header.

libedit searches for the .editrc file in the current directory instead of the user's home directory, which may allow local users to execute arbitrary commands by installing a modified .editrc in another directory.

Buffer overflows in BSD-based FTP servers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long pattern string containing a {} sequence, as seen in (1) gopendir, (2) glstat, (3) gstat, and (4) the glob0 buffer as used in the glob functions glob2 and glob3.

ipfw and ip6fw in FreeBSD 4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions by setting the ECE flag in a TCP packet, which makes the packet appear to be part of an established connection.

Format string vulnerability in wrapper.c in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16 allows remote attackers with CVSROOT commit access to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a wrapper line.

The TCP MSS (maximum segment size) functionality in netinet allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via (1) a low MTU, which causes a large number of small packets to be produced, or (2) via a large number of packets with a small TCP payload, which cause a large number of calls to the resource-intensive sowakeup function.

Multiple TCP implementations with Protection Against Wrapped Sequence Numbers (PAWS) with the timestamps option enabled allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection loss) via a spoofed packet with a large timer value, which causes the host to discard later packets because they appear to be too old.

opiepasswd in One-Time Passwords in Everything (OPIE) in FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p22 through 6.1-STABLE before 20060322 uses the getlogin function to determine the invoking user account, which might allow local users to configure OPIE access to the root account and possibly gain root privileges if a root shell is permitted by the configuration of the wheel group or sshd.
