Buffer overflow in micq client 0.4.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long Description field.
Format string vulnerability in printclient in icecast 1.3.8beta2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.
rpc.statd in the nfs-utils package in various Linux distributions does not properly cleanse untrusted format strings, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

The passwd.php3 CGI script in the Red Hat Piranha Virtual Server Package allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.
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.
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 default configuration of the DVI print filter (dvips) in Red Hat Linux 7.0 and earlier does not run dvips in secure mode when dvips is executed by lpd, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges by printing a DVI file that contains malicious commands.
Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.
Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header.
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.
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.
Squid 2.4 STABLE3 and earlier does not properly disable HTCP, even when "htcpport 0" is specified in squid.conf, which could allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
Squid 2.4 STABLE3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (core dump) and possibly execute arbitrary code with an ftp:// URL with a larger number of special characters, which exceed the buffer when Squid URL-escapes the characters.
dvips converter for Postscript files in the tetex package calls the system() function insecurely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via certain print jobs, possibly involving fonts.
Heap corruption vulnerability in the "at" program allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a malformed execution time, which causes at to free the same memory twice.
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.
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.
Buffer overflow in ncurses library allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via long environmental information such as TERM or TERMINFODIRS.
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.
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.
makewhatis in Linux man package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.
