The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.

Buffer overflow in the calltrans2open function in trans2.c for Samba 2.2.x before 2.2.8a, 2.0.10 and earlier 2.0.x versions, and Samba-TNG before 0.3.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Multiple buffer overflows in Samba before 2.2.8a may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, as discovered by the Samba team and a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0201.
The AIX FTP client can be forced to execute commands from a malicious server through shell metacharacters (e.g. a pipe character).

A Unix account has a default, null, blank, or missing password.
Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
The dtterm terminal emulator allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
CDE ToolTalk database server (ttdbserver) allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory locations with a zero, and possibly gain privileges, via a file descriptor argument in an AUTHUNIX procedure call, which is used as a table index by the TTISCLOSE procedure.
Buffer overflow in Dispatch() routine for XFS font server (fs.auto) on Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a certain XFS query.

HP-UX aserver program allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack.
Unauthorized privileged access or denial of service via dtappgather program in CDE.
Buffer overflow in Xt library of X Windowing System allows local users to execute commands with root privileges.

Local users can start Sendmail in daemon mode and gain root privileges.
CDE ToolTalk database server (ttdbserver) allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the transaction log file used by the TTTRANSACTION RPC procedure.
JFS (JFS3.1 and OnlineJFS) in HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, and 11.04 does not properly implement the sticky bit functionality, which could allow attackers to bypass intended restrictions on filesystems.
ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.
Land IP denial of service.
Teardrop IP denial of service.

Domain Enterprise Server Management System (DESMS) in HP-UX allows local users to gain privileges.
Sendmail allows local users to write to a file and gain group permissions via a .forward or :include: file.
Vulnerability in AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 and 9.05 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using a socket to connect to a port on the localhost, calling shutdown to clear the socket, then using the same socket to connect to a different port on localhost.
