Volution clients 1.0.7 and earlier attempt to contact the computer creation daemon (CCD) when an LDAP authentication failure occurs, which allows remote attackers to fully control clients via a Trojan horse Volution server.
A configuration error in the libdb1 package in OpenLinux 3.1 uses insecure versions of the snprintf and vsnprintf functions, which could allow local or remote users to exploit those functions with a buffer overflow.
Format string vulnerability in the error logging code of DHCP server and client in Caldera Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
Format string vulnerability in usesyslog() function in LPRng 3.6.24 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
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 the XDMCP parsing code of GNOME gdm, KDE kdm, and wdm allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service via a long FORWARDQUERY request.
The default configuration of kdm in Caldera and Mandrake Linux, and possibly other distributions, allows XDMCP connections from any host, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or bypass additional access restrictions.
The debug option in Caldera Linux smail allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the -D option for the rmail command.
Buffer overflow in WU-FTPD and related FTP servers allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via macro variables in a message file.
Buffer overflows in wuarchive ftpd (wu-ftpd) and ProFTPD lead to remote root access, a.k.a. palmetto.
MIME conversion buffer overflow in sendmail versions 8.8.3 and 8.8.4.
Buffer overflow in University of Washington's implementation of IMAP and POP servers.
Buffer overflow in NFS mountd gives root access to remote attackers, mostly in Linux systems.
Inverse query buffer overflow in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases.
Buffer overflow in Common Desktop Environment (CDE) ToolTalk RPC database server (rpc.ttdbserverd) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an argument to the TTCREATEFILE procedure.
Vulnerability in webtop in UnixWare 7.1.1 and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows local and possibly remote attackers to gain root privileges via shell metacharacters in the -c argument for (1) in scoadminreg.cgi or (2) serviceaction.cgi.
Buffer overflow in X server (Xsco) in OpenUNIX 8.0.0 and UnixWare 7.1.1, possibly related to XBM/xkbcomp capabilities.
costview3/xmlrpcserver/xmlrpc.php in CostView in Caldera 9.20 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a methodCall element in a PHP XMLRPC request.
Command execution via shell metachars in INN daemon (innd) 1.5 using "newgroup" and "rmgroup" control messages, and others.
Unknown vulnerability in CDE in Caldera OpenUnix 7.1.0, 7.1.1, and 8.0 allows an xterm session to gain privileges when the session is reused.
docview before 1.0-15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters that are processed when converting a man page to a web page.
Squid before 2.3STABLE5 in HTTP accelerator mode does not enable access control lists (ACLs) when the httpdaccelhost and httpaccelwithproxy off settings are used, which allows attackers to bypass the ACLs and conduct unauthorized activities such as port scanning.
Format string vulnerability in the default logging callback function saslsyslog in common.c in Cyrus SASL library (cyrus-sasl) may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
telnet daemon (telnetd) from the Linux netkit package before netkit-telnet-0.16 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication when telnetd is running with the -L command line option.
XFree86 xfs command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.
Buffer overflow in procmail before version 3.12 allows remote or local attackers to execute commands via expansions in the procmailrc configuration file.
FTP servers can allow an attacker to connect to arbitrary ports on machines other than the FTP client, aka FTP bounce.
CDE ToolTalk database server (ttdbserver) allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory locations with a zero, and possibly gain privileges, via a file descriptor argument in an AUTHUNIX procedure call, which is used as a table index by the TTISCLOSE procedure.
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in in.rarpd (ARP server) on Solaris, Caldera UnixWare and Open UNIX, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format strings that are not properly handled in the functions (1) syserr and (2) error.
Multiple buffer overflows in in.rarpd (ARP server) on Solaris, and possibly other operating systems including Caldera UnixWare and Open UNIX, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, possibly via the functions (1) syserr and (2) error.
