ISC BIND 8.3.x before 8.3.7, and 8.4.x before 8.4.3, allows remote attackers to poison the cache via a malicious name server that returns negative responses with a large TTL (time-to-live) value.
Multiple integer overflows in the font libraries for XFree86 4.3.0 allow local or remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via heap-based and stack-based buffer overflow attacks.
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 OSI networking kernel (sys/netiso) in NetBSD 1.6.1 and earlier does not use a BSD-required "PKTHDR" mbuf when sending certain error responses to the sender of an OSI packet, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic or crash) via certain OSI packets.
Off-by-one error in the fbrealpath() function, as derived from the realpath function in BSD, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated in wu-ftpd 2.5.0 through 2.6.2 via commands that cause pathnames of length MAXPATHLEN+1 to trigger a buffer overflow, including (1) STOR, (2) RETR, (3) APPE, (4) DELE, (5) MKD, (6) RMD, (7) STOU, or (8) RNTO.
Buffer overflow in tryelf() in readelf.c of the file command allows attackers to execute arbitrary code as the user running file, possibly via a large entity size value in an ELF header (elfhdr.eshentsize).
Multiple ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) device drivers do not pad frames with null bytes, which allows remote attackers to obtain information from previous packets or kernel memory by using malformed packets, as demonstrated by Etherleak.
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.
TCP, when using a large Window Size, makes it easier for remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived connections, such as BGP.
NetBSD 1.6, NetBSD 2.0 through 2.1, and NetBSD-current before 20051031 allows local users to gain privileges by attaching a debugger to a setuid/setgid (PSUGID) process that performs an exec without a reset of real credentials.
Buffer overflow in trek on NetBSD 1.5 through 1.5.3 allows local users to gain privileges via long keyboard input.
Buffer overflow in Sendmail 5.79 to 8.12.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain formatted address fields, related to sender and recipient header comments as processed by the crackaddr function of headers.c.
Buffer overflow in talkd on NetBSD 1.6 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long inbound message.
Multiple buffer overflows in rogue on NetBSD 1.6 and earlier, FreeBSD 4.6, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain "games" group privileges via malformed entries in a game save file.
Sendmail Consortium's Restricted Shell (SMRSH) in Sendmail 8.12.6, 8.11.6-15, and possibly other versions after 8.11 from 5/19/1998, allows attackers to bypass the intended restrictions of smrsh by inserting additional commands after (1) "||" sequences or (2) "/" characters, which are not properly filtered or verified.
Multiple syscalls in the compat subsystem for NetBSD before 2.0 allow local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a large signal number to (1) xxxsyskill, (2) xxxsyssigaction, and possibly other translation functions.
OpenBSD 3.4 and NetBSD 1.6 and 1.6.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending an IPv6 packet with a small MTU to a listening port and then issuing a TCP connect to that port.
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.
