Execute commands as root via buffer overflow in Tooltalk database server (rpc.ttdbserverd).
Inverse query buffer overflow in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases.
xfsmd for IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.16 uses weak authentication, which allows remote attackers to call dangerous RPC functions, including those that can mount or unmount xfs file systems, to gain root privileges.
IRIX login program with a nonzero LOCKOUT parameter allows creation or damage to files.
Local user gains root privileges via buffer overflow in rdist, via expstr() function.
Buffer overflow in the (1) smap/smapd and (2) CSMAP daemons for Gauntlet Firewall 5.0 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted mail message.
The wrap CGI program in IRIX allows remote attackers to view arbitrary directory listings via a .. (dot dot) attack.
The handler CGI program in IRIX allows arbitrary command execution.
webdist CGI program (webdist.cgi) in SGI IRIX allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the distloc parameter.
The dtterm terminal emulator allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
CDE ToolTalk database server (ttdbserver) allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory locations with a zero, and possibly gain privileges, via a file descriptor argument in an AUTHUNIX procedure call, which is used as a table index by the TTISCLOSE procedure.
IRIX fam service allows an attacker to obtain a list of all files on the server.
Unknown vulnerability in netprint in IRIX 6.2, and possibly other versions, allows local users with lp privileges attacker to execute arbitrary commands via the -n option.
Buffer overflow in dmplay in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line option.
Buffer overflow in grosview in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain privileges via a long -D option.
Buffer overflow in lpstat in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long -n option.
Buffer overflow in IRIX libgl.so library allows local users to gain root privileges via a long HOME variable to programs such as (1) gmemusage and (2) grosview.
IRIX soundplayer program allows local users to gain privileges by including shell metacharacters in a .wav file, which is executed via the midikeys program.
inpview in InPerson on IRIX 5.3 through IRIX 6.5.10 trusts the PATH environmental variable to find and execute the ttsession program, which allows local users to obtain root access by modifying the PATH to point to a Trojan horse ttsession program.
Indigo Magic System Tour in the SGI system tour package (systour) for IRIX 5.x through 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a Trojan horse .exitops program, which is called by the inst command that is executed by the RemoveSystemTour program.
spaceball program in SpaceWare 7.3 v1.0 in IRIX 6.2 allows local users to gain root privileges by setting the HOSTNAME environmental variable to contain the commands to be executed.
Buffer overflows in CDROM Confidence Test program (cdrom) allow local users to gain root privileges.
addnetpr in SGI IRIX 6.2 and earlier allows local users to modify arbitrary files and possibly gain root access via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in day5datacopier in SGI IRIX 6.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a modified PATH environment variable that points to a malicious cp program.
