Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in sendmail 5, as installed on Sun SunOS 4.1.3U1 and 4.1.4, have unspecified attack vectors and impact. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-1999-0129.

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.

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

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

In SunOS or Solaris, a remote user could connect from an FTP server's data port to an rlogin server on a host that trusts the FTP server, allowing remote command execution.

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

Sendmail allows local users to write to a file and gain group permissions via a .forward or :include: file.

A later variation on the Teardrop IP denial of service attack, a.k.a. Teardrop-2.

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

The AIX FTP client can be forced to execute commands from a malicious server through shell metacharacters (e.g. a pipe character).

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

Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.

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

Buffer overflow in lpr, as used in BSD-based systems including Linux, allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root via a long -C (classification) command line option.

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

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

FTP servers can allow an attacker to connect to arbitrary ports on machines other than the FTP client, aka FTP bounce.

Land IP denial of service.

Teardrop IP denial of service.
