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 Solaris snoop allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via GETQUOTA requests to the rpc.rquotad service.

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

NFS cache poisoning.

The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.

libnsl in Solaris allowed an attacker to perform a denial of service of rpcbind.

Automount daemon automountd allows local or remote users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters.

Buffer overflow in statd allows root privileges.

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.

Buffer overflow in ypbind daemon in Solaris 5.4 through 8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.

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.

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.

Multiple buffer overflows in how dtmail handles attachments allows a remote attacker to execute commands.
