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.

loadmodule in SunOS 4.1.x, as used by xnews, does not properly sanitize its environment, which allows local users to gain privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-1999-1584.

Unknown vulnerability in (1) loadmodule, and (2) modload if modload is installed with setuid/setgid privileges, in SunOS 4.1.1 through 4.1.3c, and Open Windows 3.0, allows local users to gain root privileges via environment variables, a different vulnerability than CVE-1999-1586.

SunOS sendmail 5.59 through 5.65 uses popen to process a forwarding host argument, which allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable and passing crafted values to the -oR option.

Sun SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.3 allows local attackers to gain root access via insecure permissions on files and directories such as crash.

/usr/5bin/su in SunOS 4.1.3 and earlier uses a search path that includes the current working directory (.), which allows local users to gain privileges via Trojan horse programs.

cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed characters (such as those from password prompts) via the L2/AGAIN key.

Buffer overflow in CDE Calendar Manager Service Daemon (rpc.cmsd).

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

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

ypbind with -ypset and -ypsetme options activated in Linux Slackware and SunOS allows local and remote attackers to overwrite files via a .. (dot dot) attack.

Malicious option settings in UDP packets could force a reboot in SunOS 4.1.3 systems.

Extra long export lists over 256 characters in some mount daemons allows NFS directories to be mounted by anyone.

The portmapper may act as a proxy and redirect service requests from an attacker, making the request appear to come from the local host, possibly bypassing authentication that would otherwise have taken place. For example, NFS file systems could be mounted through the portmapper despite export restrictions.

NFS cache poisoning.

Expreserve, as used in vi and ex, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access.

Buffer overflow in syslog utility allows local or remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Arbitrary file creation and program execution using FLEXlm LicenseManager, from versions 4.0 to 5.0, in IRIX.

Buffer overflow in Xt library of X Windowing System allows local users to execute commands with root privileges.

Local user gains root privileges via buffer overflow in rdist, via lookup() function.

Delete or create a file via rpc.statd, due to invalid information.

Execute commands as root via buffer overflow in Tooltalk database server (rpc.ttdbserverd).

Buffer overflow in ufsrestore in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long pathname.
