The C-Media PCI sound driver in Linux before 2.4.21 does not use the getuser function to access userspace, which crosses security boundaries and may facilitate the exploitation of vulnerabilities, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0700.
The getgrouplist function in GNU libc (glibc) 2.2.4 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and execute arbitrary code when a user is a member of a large number of groups, which can cause a buffer overflow.
Various PDF viewers including (1) Adobe Acrobat 5.06 and (2) Xpdf 1.01 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an embedded hyperlink.
The clipmkip function in net/atm/clip.c of the ATM subsystem in Linux kernel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (freed pointer dereference).
Multiple drivers in Linux kernel 2.4.19 and earlier do not properly mark memory with the VMIO flag, which causes incorrect reference counts and may lead to a denial of service (kernel panic) when accessing freed kernel pages.
The loadelfbinary function in the binfmtelf loader (binfmtelf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly check return values from calls to the kernelread function, which may allow local users to modify sensitive memory in a setuid program and execute arbitrary code.
Multiple buffer overflows in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allow remote attackers to have an unknown impact.
The binfmtelf loader (binfmtelf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, does not properly handle a failed call to the mmap function, which causes an incorrect mapped image and may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.
Buffer underflow in extfs.c in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.
fish.c in midnight commander allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via "insecure filename quoting," possibly using shell metacharacters.
The binfmtelf loader (binfmtelf.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, may create an interpreter name string that is not NULL terminated, which could cause strings longer than PATHMAX to be used, leading to buffer overflows that allow local users to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute arbitrary code.
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Midnight Commander (mc) 4.5.55 and earlier allow remote attackers to have an unknown impact.
Multiple buffer overflows in the ImageMagick graphics library 5.x before 5.4.4, and 6.x before 6.0.6.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed (1) AVI, (2) BMP, or (3) DIB files.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the imlib BMP image handler allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.
Multiple vulnerabilities in the RLE (run length encoding) decoders for libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier, related to buffer overflows and integer overflows, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via TIFF files.
Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allow local users to gain privileges or access kernel memory, as found by the Sparse source code checking tool.
Multiple extfs backend scripts for GNOME virtual file system (VFS) before 1.0.1 may allow remote attackers to perform certain unauthorized actions via a gnome-vfs URI.
Multiple buffer overflows in Metamail 2.7 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in Metamail 2.7 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
sysreport 1.3.15 and earlier includes contents of the up2date file in a report, which leaks the password for a proxy server in plaintext and allows local users to gain privileges.
Multiple buffer overflows in the dissecta11radius function in the CDMA A11 (3G-A11) dissector (packet-3g-a11.c) for Ethereal 0.10.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via RADIUS authentication packets with large length values.
The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the consoptions function in options.c in dhcpd in OpenBSD 4.0 through 4.2, and some other dhcpd implementations based on ISC dhcp-2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than the minimum IP MTU.
Dirk Mueller reported an off by one buffer overflow flaw in the way QT parses certain unicode strings.
To quote Dirk:
Ive found a off-by-one buffer overflow in QUtf8Decoder::toUnicode(). It is not exploitable with Qt 4.x or above because there is an additional QChar(0) being allocated in QString, however it is still a bug there, as the array returned by utf16() etc is no longer terminated properly.
Integer overflow in the bdfReadCharacters function in bdfread.c in (1) X.Org libXfont before 20070403 and (2) freetype 2.3.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via crafted BDF fonts, which result in a heap overflow.
