Buffer overflow in cpqlogin.htm in web-enabled agents for various Compaq management software products such as Insight Manager and Management Agents allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long user name.
Vulnerability in LAT/Telnet Gateway (lattelnet) on Ultrix 4.1 and 4.2 allows attackers to gain root privileges.
Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.
Telnet allows a remote client to specify environment variables including LDLIBRARYPATH, allowing an attacker to bypass the normal system libraries and gain root access.
Vulnerability in loginout in Digital OpenVMS 7.1 and earlier allows unauthorized access when external authentication is enabled.
The ToolTalk ttsession daemon uses weak RPC authentication, which allows a remote attacker to execute commands.
Remote attackers can mount an NFS file system in Ultrix or OSF, even if it is denied on the access list.
Buffer overflow in lpsched on DGUX version R4.20MU06 and MU02 allows a local attacker to obtain root access via a long command line argument (non-existent printer name).
Buffer overflow in at program in Digital UNIX 4.0 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.
xterm in Digital UNIX 4.0B with patch kit 5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a core dump file, which is created when xterm is called with a DISPLAY environmental variable set to a display that xterm cannot access.
chroot in Digital Ultrix 4.1 and 4.0 is insecurely installed, which allows local users to gain privileges.
The dtlogin program in Compaq Tru64 UNIX allows local users to gain root privileges.
Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.
Digital Unix Networker program nsralist has a buffer overflow which allows local users to obtain root privilege.
Digital Unix 4.0 has a buffer overflow in the inc program of the mh package.
Buffer overflow and denial of service in Sendmail 8.7.5 and earlier through GECOS field gives root access to local users.
The suidperl and sperl program do not give up root privileges when changing UIDs back to the original users, allowing root access.
Buffer overflow in dxterm allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -xrm argument.
Buffer overflow in uucp in Compaq Tru64/OSF1 3.x allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long source (-s) command line parameter.
Buffer overflow in inc mail utility for Compaq Tru64/OSF1 3.x allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long MH environment variable.
kdebug daemon (kdebugd) in Digital Unix 4.0F allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by specifying the full file name in the initialization packet.
traceroute in NetBSD 1.3.3 and Linux systems allows local users to flood other systems by providing traceroute with a large waittime (-w) option, which is not parsed properly and sets the time delay for sending packets to zero.
traceroute in NetBSD 1.3.3 and Linux systems allows local unprivileged users to modify the source address of the packets, which could be used in spoofing attacks.
rpc.mountd on Linux, Ultrix, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of a file on the server by attempting to mount that file, which generates different error messages depending on whether the file exists or not.
ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.
Oversized ICMP ping packets can result in a denial of service, aka Ping o' Death.
Vulnerability in /usr/bin/mail in DEC ULTRIX before 4.2 allows local users to gain privileges.
Vulnerability in Advanced File System Utility (advfs) in Digital UNIX 4.0 through 4.0d allows local users to gain privileges.
dxconsole in DEC OSF/1 3.2C and earlier allows local users to read arbitrary files by specifying the file with the -file parameter.
VMS 4.0 through 5.3 allows local users to gain privileges via the ANALYZE/PROCESSDUMP dcl command.
