Linuxconf on Red Hat Linux 6.0 and earlier does not properly disable PAM-based access to the shutdown command, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service.
netcfg 2.16-1 in Red Hat Linux 4.2 allows the Ethernet interface to be controlled by users on reboot when an option is set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by shutting down the interface.

The tmpwatch utility in Red Hat Linux forks a new process for each directory level, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating deeply nested directories in /tmp or /var/tmp/.
Linux tmpwatch --fuser option allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by creating files whose names contain shell metacharacters.
Vulnerability in Mandrake Linux usermode package allows local users to to reboot or halt the system.
apmscript in Apmd in Red Hat 7.2 "Enigma" allows local users to create or change the modification dates of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the LOWPOWER temporary file, which could be used to cause a denial of service, e.g. by creating /etc/nologin and disabling logins.

gpm 1.19.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
When using the LDPRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.
inn 2.2.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.
