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.

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.

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

Buffer overflow in (1) pluggable authentication module (PAM) on Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.5 and (2) unixscheme in Solaris 2.4 and 2.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via programs that use these modules such as passwd, yppasswd, and nispasswd.

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 CDE Calendar Manager Service Daemon (rpc.cmsd).

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.

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.

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.

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.

SunOS/Solaris FTP clients can be forced to execute arbitrary commands from a malicious FTP server.

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.

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.

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.

NFS cache poisoning.

A race condition in the Solaris ps command allows an attacker to overwrite critical files.

Kerberos 4 key servers allow a user to masquerade as another by breaking and generating session keys.

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.
