Buffer overflow in NFS mountd gives root access to remote attackers, mostly in Linux systems.

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.

The Red Hat Linux su program does not log failed password guesses if the su process is killed before it times out, which allows local attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.

abuse.console in Red Hat 2.1 uses relative pathnames to find and execute the undrv program, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a path that points to a Trojan horse program.

rxvt, when compiled with the PRINTPIPE option in various Linux operating systems including Linux Slackware 3.0 and RedHat 2.1, allows local users to gain root privileges by specifying a malicious program using the -print-pipe command line parameter.
