rpc.mountd on Linux, Ultrix, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of a file on the server by attempting to mount that file, which generates different error messages depending on whether the file exists or not.
The asynchronous I/O facility in 4.4 BSD kernel does not check user credentials when setting the recipient of I/O notification, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by using certain ioctl and fcntl calls to cause the signal to be sent to an arbitrary process ID.
The rwho/rwhod service is running, which exposes machine status and user information.
A race condition between the select() and accept() calls in NetBSD TCP servers allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.
NetBSD netstat command allows local users to access kernel memory.
FreeBSD mmap function allows users to modify append-only or immutable files.
mmap function in BSD allows local attackers in the kmem group to modify memory through devices.
Buffer overflow in Vixie Cron library up to version 3.0 allows local users to obtain root access via a long environmental variable.
Buffer overflow in rwhod on AIX and other operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a UDP packet with a long hostname.
Listening TCP ports are sequentially allocated, allowing spoofing attacks.
Integer signedness error in the fwioctl (FWIOCTL) function in the FireWire (IEEE-1394) drivers (dev/firewire/fwdev.c) in various BSD kernels, including DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD 5.5, MidnightBSD 0.1-CURRENT before 20061115, NetBSD-current before 20061116, NetBSD-4 before 20061203, and TrustedBSD, allows local users to read arbitrary memory contents via certain negative values of crombuf->len in an FWGCROM command. NOTE: this issue has been labeled as an integer overflow, but it is more like an integer signedness error.
DISPUTED Integer overflow in banner/banner.c in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD might allow local users to modify memory via a long banner. NOTE: CVE and multiple third parties dispute this issue. Since banner is not setuid, an exploit would not cross privilege boundaries in normal operations. This issue is not a vulnerability.
DISPUTED ld.so in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and possibly other BSD distributions does not remove certain harmful environment variables, which allows local users to gain privileges by passing certain environment variables to loading processes. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a third party, stating that it is the responsibility of the application to properly sanitize the environment.
OpenBSD and NetBSD permit usermode code to kill the display server and write to the X.Org /dev/xf86 device, which allows local users with root privileges to reduce securelevel by replacing the System Management Mode (SMM) handler via a write to an SMRAM address within /dev/xf86 (aka the video card memory-mapped I/O range), and then launching the new handler via a System Management Interrupt (SMI), as demonstrated by a write to Programmed I/O port 0xB2.
The TCP implementation in various BSD operating systems (tcpinput.c) does not properly block connections to broadcast addresses, which could allow remote attackers to bypass intended filters via packets with a unicast link layer address and an IP broadcast address.
Multiple buffer overflows in NetBSD kernel may allow local users to execute arbitrary code and gain privileges.
Integer overflow in the ktruser function in NetBSD-current before 20061022, NetBSD 3 and 3-0 before 20061024, and NetBSD 2 before 20070209, when the kernel is built with the COMPATFREEBSD or COMPATDARWIN option, allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges.
