The getifaddrs function in GNU libc (glibc) 2.2.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending spoofed messages as other users to the kernel netlink interface.
The vty layer in Quagga before 0.96.4, and Zebra 0.93b and earlier, does not verify that sub-negotiation is taking place when processing the SE marker, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed telnet command to the telnet CLI port, which may trigger a null dereference.
The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.
The DNS map code in Sendmail 8.12.8 and earlier, when using the "enhdnsbl" feature, does not properly initialize certain data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) via an invalid DNS response that causes Sendmail to free incorrect data.
NFS in SGI 6.5.21m and 6.5.21f does not perform access checks in certain configurations when an /etc/exports entry uses wildcards without any hostnames or groups, which could allow attackers to bypass intended restrictions.
Unknown vulnerability in NFS for SGI IRIX 6.5.21 and earlier may allow an NFS client to bypass read-only restrictions.
Unknown vulnerability in the libcpr library for the Checkpoint/Restart (cpr) system on SGI IRIX 6.5.21f and earlier allows local users to truncate or overwrite certain files.
Unknown vulnerability in nsd in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).
Unknown vulnerability in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20, and possibly earlier versions, allows local users to cause a core dump in scheme and possibly gain privileges via certain environment variables, a different vulnerability than CVE-2001-0797 and CVE-1999-0028.
The DNS callbacks in nsd in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, do not perform sufficient sanity checking, with unknown impact.
Unknown vulnerability in the NFS daemon (nfsd) in SGI IRIX 6.5.19f and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via certain packets that cause XDR decoding errors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0619.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the name services daemon (nsd) in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.21f, and possibly earlier versions, allows attackers to gain root privileges via the AUTHUNIX gid list.
Unknown vulnerability in the IPv6 capability in IRIX 6.5.19 causes snoop to process packets as the root user, with unknown implications.
The IPv6 capability in IRIX 6.5.19 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) in inetd via port scanning.
SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, does not follow "-" entries in the /etc/group file, which may cause subsequent group membership entries to be processed inadvertently.
The Name Service Daemon (nsd), when running on an NIS master on SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a UDP port scan.
xfsdq in xfsdump does not create quota information files securely, which allows local users to gain root privileges.
The LDAP name service (nsd) in IRIX 6.5.19 and earlier does not properly verify if the USERPASSWORD attribute has been provided by an LDAP server, which could allow attackers to log in without a password.
The dtterm terminal emulator allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) allows local users to cause a denial of service via an IGMP membership report to a target's Ethernet address instead of the Multicast group address, which causes the target to stop sending reports to the router and effectively disconnect the group from the network.
The Video Control Panel on SGI O2/IRIX 6.5, when the Default Input is set to "Output Video", allows attackers to access a console session by running videoout then videoin.
The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems authenticates by comparing the reverse-resolved hostname of the local machine to the hostname of the print server as returned by gethostname, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access controls by modifying the DNS for the attacking IP.
The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems allows local users to gain root privileges by causing sendmail to execute with arbitrary command line arguments, as demonstrated using the -C option to specify a configuration file.
The default installation of IRIX Performance Copilot allows remote attackers to access sensitive system information via the pmcd daemon.
Vulnerability in SGI IRIX objectserver daemon allows remote attackers to create user accounts.
SGI InfoSearch CGI program infosrch.cgi allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters.
IRIX soundplayer program allows local users to gain privileges by including shell metacharacters in a .wav file, which is executed via the midikeys program.
/usr/sbin/Mail on SGI IRIX 3.3 and 3.3.1 does not properly set the group ID to the group ID of the user who started Mail, which allows local users to read the mail of other users.
(1) ipxchk and (2) ipxlink in SGI OS2 IRIX 6.3 does not properly clear the IFS environmental variable before executing system calls, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands.
