xloadimage before 4.1-r2, and xli before 1.17, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in filenames for compressed images, which are not properly quoted when calling the gunzip command.

scan.c for LibXPM may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative bitmapunit value that leads to a buffer overflow.

Multiple vulnerabilities in xli before 1.17 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "buffer management errors" from certain image properties, some of which may be related to integer overflows in PPM files.

The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.

Buffer overflow in ncurses 5.0, and the ncurses4 compatibility package as used in Red Hat Linux, allows local users to gain privileges, related to "routines for moving the physical cursor and scrolling."

Buffer overflow in Linux xinetd 2.1.8.9pre11-1 and earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ident response, which is not properly handled by the svclogprint function.

Vulnerability in screen before 3.9.10, related to a multi-attach error, allows local users to gain root privileges when there is a subdirectory under /tmp/screens/.

Buffer overflow in dsh in dqs 3.2.7 in SuSE Linux 7.0 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges via a long first command line argument.

Sdbsearch.cgi in SuSE Linux 6.0-7.2 could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by uploading a keylist.txt file that contains filenames with shell metacharacters, then causing the file to be searched using a .. in the HTTP referer (from the HTTPREFERER variable) to point to the directory that contains the keylist.txt file.

Multiple buffer overflows in ePerl before 2.2.14-0.7 allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Format string vulnerability in man in some Linux distributions allows local users to gain privileges via a malformed -l parameter.

Buffer overflow in fdmount on Linux systems allows local users in the "floppy" group to execute arbitrary commands via a long mountpoint parameter.

Buffer overflow in Gnomelib in SuSE Linux 6.3 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via the DISPLAY environmental variable.

gpm-root in the gpm package does not properly drop privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by starting a utility from gpm-root.

Linux kreatecd trusts a user-supplied path that is used to find the cdrecord program, allowing local users to gain root privileges.
