Buffer overflow in ncurses 5.0, and the ncurses4 compatibility package as used in Red Hat Linux, allows local users to gain privileges, related to "routines for moving the physical cursor and scrolling."

Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in ultimatesource function of man 1.5 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges.

Zope before 2.2.4 does not properly compute local roles, which could allow users to bypass specified access restrictions and gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in pamlocaluser PAM module in Red Hat Linux 7.x and 6.x allows attackers to gain privileges.

Multiple shell programs on various Unix systems, including (1) tcsh, (2) csh, (3) sh, and (4) bash, follow symlinks when processing << redirects (aka here-documents or in-here documents), which allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.

mopd (Maintenance Operations Protocol loader daemon) does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in mopd (Maintenance Operations Protocol loader daemon) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long file name.

makewhatis in Linux man package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in fld program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via an input file containing long CHARSETREGISTRY or CHARSETENCODING settings.

Buffer overflow in kon program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via a long -StartupMessage parameter.

The pamconsole PAM module in Linux systems performs a chown on various devices upon a user login, but an open file descriptor for those devices can be maintained after the user logs out, which allows that user to sniff activity on these devices when subsequent users log in.

gpm-root in the gpm package does not properly drop privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by starting a utility from gpm-root.

Buffer overflow in imwheel allows local users to gain root privileges via the imwheel-solo script and a long HOME environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in the dump utility in the Linux ext2fs backup package allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in mhshow in the Linux nmh package allows remote attackers to execute commands via malformed MIME headers in an email message.

Red Hat userhelper program in the usermode package allows local users to gain root access via PAM and a .. (dot dot) attack.

wu-ftp with FTP conversion enabled allows an attacker to execute commands via a malformed file name that is interpreted as an argument to the program that does the conversion, e.g. tar or uncompress.

ORBit and esound in Red Hat Linux 6.1 do not use sufficiently random numbers, which allows local users to guess the authentication keys.

PAM configuration file for rlogin in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier includes a less restrictive rule before a more restrictive one, which allows users to access the host via rlogin even if rlogin has been explicitly disabled using the /etc/nologin file.

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.
