The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.
A "potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing" for Sendmail 8.12.9, when using the nonstandard rulesets (1) recipient (2), final, or (3) mailer-specific envelope recipients, has unknown consequences.
The Xsession script, as used by X Display Manager (xdm) in NetBSD before 20060212, X.Org before 20060317, and Solaris 8 through 10 before 20061006, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, or read another user's Xsession errors file, via a symlink attack on a /tmp/xses-$USER file.
NetBSD 1.4 through 1.6 beta allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a series of calls to the TIOCSCTTY ioctl, which causes an integer overflow in a structure counter and sets the counter to zero, which frees memory that is still in use by other processes.
Buffer overflow in setlocale in libc on NetBSD 1.4.x through 1.6, and possibly other operating systems, when called with the LCALL category, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code via a user-controlled locale string that has more than 6 elements, which exceeds the boundaries of the newcategories category array, as exploitable through programs such as xterm and zsh.
IPSEC implementations including (1) FreeS/WAN and (2) KAME do not properly calculate the length of authentication data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via spoofed, short Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packets, which result in integer signedness errors.
The securelevels implementation in NetBSD 2.1 and earlier, and Linux 2.6.15 and earlier, allows local users to bypass time setting restrictions and set the clock backwards by setting the clock ahead to the maximum unixtime value (19 Jan 2038), which then wraps around to the minimum value (13 Dec 1901), which can then be set ahead to the desired time, aka "settimeofday() time wrap."
NetBSD 1.6, 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) by using the sysctl system call to lock a large buffer into physical memory.
Intel RNG Driver in NetBSD 1.6 through 3.0 may incorrectly detect the presence of the pchb interface, which will cause it to always generate the same random number, which allows remote attackers to more easily crack encryption keys generated from the interface.
The kernel in NetBSD-current before September 28, 2005 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by using the SIOCGIFALIAS ioctl to gather information on a non-existent alias of a network interface, which causes a NULL pointer dereference.
NetBSD 1.6 up to 3.0, when a user has "set record" in .mailrc with the default umask set, creates the record file with 0644 permissions, which allows local users to read the record file.
The bridge ioctl (ifbridge code) in NetBSD 1.6 through 3.0 does not clear sensitive memory before copying ioctl results to the requesting process, which allows local users to obtain portions of kernel memory.
The kernfsxread function in kernfs in NetBSD 1.6 through 2.1, and OpenBSD 3.8, does not properly validate file offsets against negative 32-bit values that occur as a result of truncation, which allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory and gain privileges via the lseek system call.
