Buffer overflow in efstools in Bonobo, when installed setuid, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments.
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.

The default configuration of the Xsession file in Mandrake Linux 7.1 and 7.0 bypasses the Xauthority access control mechanism with an "xhost + localhost" command, which allows local users to sniff X Windows events and gain privileges.
Format string vulnerability in ypserv in Mandrake Linux 7.1 and earlier, and possibly other Linux operating systems, allows an attacker to gain root privileges when ypserv is built without a vsyslog() function.
The default configuration of modperl for Apache as installed on Mandrake Linux 6.1 through 7.1 sets the /perl/ directory to be browseable, which allows remote attackers to list the contents of that directory.
Kernel logging daemon (klogd) in Linux does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local users to gain root privileges by triggering malformed kernel messages.
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.
A race condition in MandrakeUpdate allows local users to modify RPM files while they are in the /tmp directory before they are installed.
Vulnerability in Mandrake Linux usermode package allows local users to to reboot or halt the system.
Buffer overflow in fld program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via an input file containing long CHARSETREGISTRY or CHARSETENCODING settings.
makewhatis in Linux man package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.
Buffer overflow in kon program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via a long -StartupMessage parameter.
The default installation of Apache before 1.3.19 on Mandrake Linux 7.1 through 8.0 and Linux Corporate Server 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to list the directory index of arbitrary web directories.
Squid before 2.3STABLE5 in HTTP accelerator mode does not enable access control lists (ACLs) when the httpdaccelhost and httpaccelwithproxy off settings are used, which allows attackers to bypass the ACLs and conduct unauthorized activities such as port scanning.
slapd in OpenLDAP 1.x before 1.2.12, and 2.x before 2.0.8, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid Basic Encoding Rules (BER) length field.
Vulnerability in (1) pine before 4.33 and (2) the pico editor, included with pine, allows local users local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.
Multiple buffer overflows in ePerl before 2.2.14-0.7 allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header.
licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a URL.
time server daemon timed allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed packets.
sgml-tools (aka sgmltools) before 1.0.9-15 creates temporary files with insecure permissions, which allows other users to read files that are being processed by sgml-tools.
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.
Buffer overflow in sudo earlier than 1.6.3p6 allows local users to gain root privileges.
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.
privatepw program in wu-ftpd before 2.6.1-6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
squid 2.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.
arpwatch 2.1a4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.
exmh 2.2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the exmhErrorMsg temporary file.
