Heap overflow in FTP daemon in Solaris 8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by creating a long pathname and calling the LIST command, which uses glob to generate long strings.

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.

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 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).

NFS cache poisoning.

Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.

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

Buffer overflow in NIS+, in Sun's rpc.nisd program.

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).

Inverse query buffer overflow in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases.

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

Buffer overflow in xlock program allows local users to execute commands as root.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Buffer overflow in Xsun in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long HOME environmental variable.

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

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

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