A race condition in the at command for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to delete arbitrary files via the -r argument with .. (dot dot) sequences in the job name, then modifying the directory structure after at checks permissions to delete the file and before the deletion actually takes place.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The access permissions for a UNIX domain socket are ignored in Solaris 2.x and SunOS 4.x, and other BSD-based operating systems before 4.4, which could allow local users to connect to the socket and possibly disrupt or control the operations of the program using that socket.

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

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

Buffer overflow in Solaris sadmind allows remote attackers to gain root privileges using a NETMGTPROCSERVICE request.

Buffer overflow in Solaris getopt in libc allows local users to gain root privileges via a long argv[0].

The dynamic linker in Solaris allows a local user to create arbitrary files via the LDPROFILE environmental variable and a symlink attack.

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

The CDE dtspcd daemon allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.

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

sdtcmconvert in Solaris 2.6 allows a local user to overwrite sensitive files via a symlink attack.

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

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.

Solaris ff.core allows local users to modify files.

In Sun Solaris and SunOS, man and catman contain vulnerabilities that allow overwriting arbitrary files.

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.
