Buffer overflow in ncurses library allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via long environmental information such as TERM or TERMINFODIRS.
rsync, when running in daemon mode, does not properly call setgroups before dropping privileges, which could provide supplemental group privileges to local users, who could then read certain files that would otherwise be disallowed.
BEA WebLogic Express and WebLogic Server 7.0 and 7.0.0.1, stores passwords in plaintext when a keystore is used to store a private key or trust certificate authorities, which allows local users to gain access.
Kerberos FTP client allows remote FTP sites to execute arbitrary code via a pipe (|) character in a filename that is retrieved by the client.
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) allows local users to cause a denial of service via an IGMP membership report to a target's Ethernet address instead of the Multicast group address, which causes the target to stop sending reports to the router and effectively disconnect the group from the network.
Buffer overflow in efstools in Bonobo, when installed setuid, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments.
rpc.lockd in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and 6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed request.
Buffer overflow in ksu in Kerberos 5 allows local users to gain root privileges.
Buffer overflow in krshd in Kerberos 5 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.
Buffer overflow in krbrdreq function in Kerberos 4 and 5 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.
Buffer overflow in krb425convprincipal function in Kerberos 5 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.
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.
Linux OpenLDAP server allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
The passwd.php3 CGI script in the Red Hat Piranha Virtual Server Package allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.
IP masquerading in Linux 2.2.x allows remote attackers to route UDP packets through the internal interface by modifying the external source IP address and port number to match those of an established connection.
X fontserver xfs allows local users to cause a denial of service via malformed input to the server.
The X font server xfs in Red Hat Linux 6.x allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via a malformed request.
The web GUI for the Linux Virtual Server (LVS) software in the Red Hat Linux Piranha package has a backdoor password that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
Buffer overflow in imwheel allows local users to gain root privileges via the imwheel-solo script and a long HOME environmental variable.
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.
Linux printtool sets the permissions of printer configuration files to be world-readable, which allows local attackers to obtain printer share passwords.
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 the man program in Linux allows local users to gain privileges via the MANPAGER environmental variable.
Buffer overflows in the (1) outpack or (2) buf variables of ping in iputils before 20001010, as distributed on Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7J and other operating systems, may allow local users to gain privileges.
Buffer overflow in pamlocaluser PAM module in Red Hat Linux 7.x and 6.x allows attackers to gain privileges.
ping in iputils before 20001010, as distributed on Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7J and other operating systems, does not drop privileges after acquiring a raw socket, which increases ping's exposure to bugs that otherwise would occur at lower 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.
restore 0.4b15 and earlier in Red Hat Linux 6.2 trusts the pathname specified by the RSH environmental variable, which allows local users to obtain root privileges by modifying the RSH variable to point to a Trojan horse program.
dump in Red Hat Linux 6.2 trusts the pathname specified by the RSH environmental variable, which allows local users to obtain root privileges by modifying the RSH variable to point to a Trojan horse program.
Kernel logging daemon (klogd) in Linux does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local users to gain root privileges by triggering malformed kernel messages.
