The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.

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.

Buffer overflow in Solaris chkperm command allows local users to gain root access via a long -n option.

Buffer overflow in nlpsserver in Sun Solaris x86 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root via a long string beginning with "NLPS:002:002:" to the listen (aka System V listener) port, TCP port 2766.

Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.

ping in Solaris 2.3 through 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a ping request to a multicast address through the loopback interface, e.g. via ping -i.

Buffer overflow in nssnisplus.so.1 library in NIS+ in Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 allows local users to gain root privileges.

Solaris 2.4 before kernel jumbo patch -35 allows set-gid programs to dump core even if the real user id is not in the set-gid group, which allows local users to overwrite or create files at higher privileges by causing a core dump, e.g. through dmesg.

Buffer overflow in chkey in Solaris 2.5.1 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.

aspppd on Solaris 2.5 x86 allows local users to modify arbitrary files and gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the /tmp/.asppp.fifo file.

Buffer overflow in Solaris snoop program allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via a long domain name when snoop is running in verbose mode.

Buffer overflow in Solaris snoop allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via GETQUOTA requests to the rpc.rquotad service.

The dynamic linker in Solaris allows a local user to create arbitrary files via the LDPROFILE environmental variable and a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.

The ToolTalk ttsession daemon uses weak RPC authentication, which allows a remote attacker to execute commands.

The BSD profil system call allows a local user to modify the internal data space of a program via profiling and execve.

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.

rpc.statd allows remote attackers to forward RPC calls to the local operating system via the SMMON and SMNOTIFY commands, which in turn could be used to remotely exploit other bugs such as in automountd.

In Sun Solaris and SunOS, man and catman contain vulnerabilities that allow overwriting arbitrary files.

The Sun sdtcmconvert calendar utility for OpenWindows has a buffer overflow which can gain root access.

SunOS rpc.cmsd allows attackers to obtain root access by overwriting arbitrary files.

Buffer overflow in Solaris fdformat command gives root access to local users.

Buffer overflow in BNU UUCP daemon (uucpd) through long hostnames.

niscachemgr for Solaris NIS+ allows attackers to add malicious NIS+ servers.

Buffer overflow in SunOS/Solaris ps command.

Solaris sysdef command allows local users to read kernel memory, potentially leading to root privileges.

Automount daemon automountd allows local or remote users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters.

Solaris rpcbind can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access.

Solaris rpcbind listens on a high numbered UDP port, which may not be filtered since the standard port number is 111.

The passwd command in Solaris can be subjected to a denial of service.
