Integer overflow in the ftsbuild function in fts.c in libc in (1) OpenBSD 4.4 and earlier and (2) Microsoft Interix 6.0 build 10.0.6030.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a deep directory tree, related to the ftslevel structure member, as demonstrated by (a) du, (b) rm, (c) chmod, and (d) chgrp on OpenBSD; and (e) SearchIndexer.exe on Vista Enterprise.
chpass in OpenBSD 2.0 through 3.2 allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a temporary file used to store user database information.
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 the lprm command in the lprold lpr package on SuSE 7.1 through 7.3, OpenBSD 3.2 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain root privileges via long command line arguments such as (1) request ID or (2) user name.
Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
The setitimer(2) system call in OpenBSD 2.0 through 3.1 does not properly check certain arguments, which allows local users to write to kernel memory and possibly gain root privileges, possibly via an integer signedness error.
Race condition in exec in OpenBSD 4.0 and earlier, NetBSD 1.5.2 and earlier, and FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by attaching a debugger to a process before the kernel has determined that the process is setuid or setgid.
tip on multiple BSD-based operating systems allows local users to cause a denial of service (execution prevention) by using flock() to lock the /var/log/acculog file.
FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by creating a large number of socket pairs using the socketpair function, setting a large buffer size via setsockopt, then writing large buffers.
Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.
Format string vulnerability in startprinting() function of printjob.c in BSD-based lpr lpd package may allow local users to gain privileges via an improper syslog call that uses format strings from the checkremote() call.
Format string vulnerability in OpenBSD fstat program (and possibly other BSD-based operating systems) allows local users to gain root privileges via the PWD environmental variable.
Format string vulnerability in pwerror function in BSD libutil library allows local users to gain root privileges via a malformed password in commands such as chpass or passwd.
Format string vulnerability in talkd in OpenBSD and possibly other BSD-based OSes allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a user name that contains format characters.
Format string vulnerabilities in eeprom program in OpenBSD, NetBSD, and possibly other operating systems allows local attackers to gain root privileges.
Format string vulnerability in OpenBSD photurisd allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a configuration file directory name that contains formatting characters.
The IPSEC implementation in OpenBSD 2.7 does not properly handle empty AH/ESP packets, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.
mopd (Maintenance Operations Protocol loader daemon) does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
Buffer overflow in mopd (Maintenance Operations Protocol loader daemon) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long file name.
Race condition in OpenBSD VFS allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by (1) creating a pipe in one thread and causing another thread to set one of the file descriptors to NULL via a close, or (2) calling dup2 on a file descriptor in one process, then setting the descriptor to NULL via a close in another process that is created via rfork.
Buffer overflows in BSD-based FTP servers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long pattern string containing a {} sequence, as seen in (1) gopendir, (2) glstat, (3) gstat, and (4) the glob0 buffer as used in the glob functions glob2 and glob3.
One-byte buffer overflow in replydirname function in BSD-based ftpd allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.
KAME-derived implementations of IPsec on NetBSD 1.5.2, FreeBSD 4.5, and other operating systems, does not properly consult the Security Policy Database (SPD), which could cause a Security Gateway (SG) that does not use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to forward forged IPv4 packets.
The TCP stack (tcpinput.c) in OpenBSD 3.5 and 3.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system panic) via crafted values in the TCP timestamp option, which causes invalid arguments to be used when calculating the retransmit timeout.
