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.

The permissions for the /dev/audio device on Solaris 2.2 and earlier, and SunOS 4.1.x, allow any local user to read from the device, which could be used by an attacker to monitor conversations happening near a machine that has a microphone.

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

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

Buffer overflow in the libauth library in Solaris allows local users to gain additional privileges, possibly root access.

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

NFS cache poisoning.

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

Buffer overflows in Sun libnsl allow root access.

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

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

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

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.

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

Buffer overflow in login in various System V based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a large number of arguments through services such as telnet and rlogin.
