Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
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 named in BIND 4 versions 4.9.10 and earlier, and 8 versions 8.3.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain DNS server response containing SIG resource records (RR).
sshd in OpenSSH 3.2.2, when using YP with netgroups and under certain conditions, may allow users to successfully authenticate and log in with another user's password.
PF in certain OpenBSD versions, when stateful filtering is enabled, does not limit packets for a session to the original interface, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended packet filters via spoofed packets to other interfaces.
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.
OpenBSD 2.9 through 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) and gain root privileges by filling the kernel's file descriptor table and closing file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 before executing a privileged process, which is not properly handled when OpenBSD fails to open an alternate descriptor.
Integer signedness error in select() on OpenBSD 3.1 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory via a negative value for the size parameter, which satisfies the boundary check as a signed integer, but is later used as an unsigned integer during a data copying operation.
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.
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.
isakmpd/message.c in isakmpd in FreeBSD before isakmpd-200204031, and in OpenBSD 3.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending Internet Key Exchange (IKE) payloads out of sequence.
ssl3getrecord in s3pkt.c for OpenSSL before 0.9.7a and 0.9.6 before 0.9.6i does not perform a MAC computation if an incorrect block cipher padding is used, which causes an information leak (timing discrepancy) that may make it easier to launch cryptographic attacks that rely on distinguishing between padding and MAC verification errors, possibly leading to extraction of the original plaintext, aka the "Vaudenay timing attack."
Multiple TCP implementations with Protection Against Wrapped Sequence Numbers (PAWS) with the timestamps option enabled allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection loss) via a spoofed packet with a large timer value, which causes the host to discard later packets because they appear to be too old.
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.
BIND 8.x through 8.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via SIG RR elements with invalid expiry times, which are removed from the internal BIND database and later cause a null dereference.
BIND 8.3.x through 8.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (termination due to assertion failure) via a request for a subdomain that does not exist, with an OPT resource record with a large UDP payload size.
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.
OpenBSD before 3.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a call to getrlimit(2) with invalid arguments, possibly due to an integer signedness error.
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.
syslogd on OpenBSD 2.9 through 3.2 does not change the source IP address of syslog packets when the machine's IP addressed is changed without rebooting, e.g. via ifconfig, which can cause incorrect information to be sent to the syslog server.
