aaabase in SuSE Linux 6.3, and cron.daily in earlier versions, allow local users to delete arbitrary files by creating files whose names include spaces, which are then incorrectly interpreted by aaabase when it deletes expired files from the /tmp directory.

resmgr in SUSE Linux 9.2 and 9.3, and possibly other distributions, does not properly enforce class-specific exclude rules in some situations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions for USB devices that set their class ID at the interface level.
resmgr in SUSE Linux 9.2 and 9.3, and possibly other distributions, allows local users to bypass access control rules for USB devices via "alternate syntax for specifying USB devices."
Linux kernel before 2.4.11pre3 in multiple Linux distributions allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by starting the core vmlinux kernel, possibly related to poor error checking during ELF loading.
kdesu program in KDE2 (KDE before 2.2.0-6) does not properly verify the owner of a UNIX socket that is used to send a password, which allows local users to steal passwords and gain privileges.
rctab in SuSE 7.0 and earlier allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the rctmp temporary file.
resmgr in SUSE CORE 9 does not properly identify terminal names, which allows local users to spoof terminals and login types.
Multiple scripts on SuSE Linux 9.0 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /tmp/fvwm-bug created by fvwm-bug, (2) /tmp/wmmenu created by wm-oldmenu2new, (3) /tmp/rates created by x11perfcomp, (4) /tmp/xf86debug.1.log created by xf86debug, (5) /tmp/.winpopup-new created by winpopup-send.sh, or (6) /tmp/initrd created by lvmcreateinitrd.
YaST Online Update (YOU) in SuSE 8.2 and 9.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on you-$USER/cookies.
Race condition in SuSE Linux 8.1 through 9.2, when run on SMP systems that have more than 4GB of memory, could allow local users to read unauthorized memory from "foreign memory pages."
Unknown vulnerability in the system call filtering code in the audit subsystem for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via unknown vectors.
SUSE Linux before 9.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server before 9 do not properly check commands sent to CD devices that have been opened read-only, which could allow local users to conduct unauthorized write activities to modify the firmware of associated SCSI devices.
The openexec function in the execve functionality (exec.c) in Linux kernel 2.4.x up to 2.4.27, and 2.6.x up to 2.6.8, allows local users to read non-readable ELF binaries by using the interpreter (PTINTERP) functionality.
The binfmt functionality in the Linux kernel, when "memory overcommit" is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel oops) via a malformed a.out binary.
Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x for x86 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash), possibly via an infinite loop that triggers a signal handler with a certain sequence of fsave and frstor instructions, as originally demonstrated using a "crash.c" program.
Insecure permissions for the /proc/scsi/qla2300/HbaApiNode file in Linux allows local users to cause a denial of service.
The e1000 driver for Linux kernel 2.4.26 and earlier does not properly initialize memory before using it, which allows local users to read portions of kernel memory. NOTE: this issue was originally incorrectly reported as a "buffer overflow" by some sources.
Unknown vulnerability in Linux kernel 2.x may allow local users to modify the group ID of files, such as NFS exported files in kernel 2.4.
The SuSEconfig.gnome-filesystem script for YaST in SuSE 9.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on files within the tmp.SuSEconfig.gnome-filesystem.$RANDOM temporary directory.
StoreBackup before 1.19 creates the backup root with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
StoreBackup before 1.19 allows local users to perform unauthorized operations on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
Linux kernel 2.6 and 2.4 on the IA64 architecture allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via ptrace and the restoresigcontext function.
traps.c in the Linux kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x executes stack segment faults on an exception stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops and stack fault exception).
Unknown vulnerability in Linux kernel 2.4.x, 2.5.x, and 2.6.x allows NFS clients to cause a denial of service via ODIRECT.
Buffer overflow in the PerlIO implementation in Perl 5.8.0, when installed with setuid support (sperl), allows local users to execute arbitrary code by setting the PERLIODEBUG variable and executing a Perl script whose full pathname contains a long directory tree.
Unspecified vulnerability in a "core clean" cron job created by the findutils-locate package on SUSE Linux 10.0 and 10.1 and Enterprise Server 9 and 10 before 20070810 allows local users to delete of arbitrary files via unknown vectors.
