Buffer overflow in the sppp driver in FreeBSD 4.11 through 6.1, NetBSD 2.0 through 4.0 beta before 20060823, and OpenBSD 3.8 and 3.9 before 20060902 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic), obtain sensitive information, and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted Link Control Protocol (LCP) packets with an option length that exceeds the overall length, which triggers the overflow in (1) pppoe and (2) ippp. NOTE: this issue was originally incorrectly reported for the ppp driver.
isakmpd in OpenBSD 3.8, 3.9, and possibly earlier versions, creates Security Associations (SA) with a replay window of size 0 when isakmpd acts as a responder during SA negotiation, which allows remote attackers to replay IPSec packets and bypass the replay protection.
OpenBSD 3.8, 3.9, and possibly earlier versions allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by allocating more semaphores than the default.
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.
The dupfdopen function in sys/kern/kerndescrip.c in OpenBSD 3.7 and 3.8 allows local users to re-open arbitrary files by using setuid programs to access file descriptors using /dev/fd/.
Integer overflow in the systracepreprepl function (STRIOCREPLACE) in systrace in OpenBSD 3.9 and NetBSD 3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash), gain privileges, or read arbitrary kernel memory via large numeric arguments to the systrace ioctl.
The securelevels implementation in FreeBSD 7.0 and earlier, OpenBSD up to 3.8, DragonFly up to 1.2, and Linux up to 2.6.15 allows root users to bypass immutable settings for files by mounting another filesystem that masks the immutable files while the system is running.
