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.
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.
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.

gpm 1.19.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
PHP Apache module 4.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass .htaccess access restrictions via a malformed HTTP request on an unrestricted page that causes PHP to use those access controls on the next page that is requested.
When using the LDPRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.
inn 2.2.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.
rdist 6.1.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
