SQL injection vulnerability in the msPostGISLayerSetTimeFilter function in mappostgis.c in MapServer before 6.4.1, when a WMS-Time service is used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a crafted string in a PostGIS TIME filter.
Double free vulnerability in the msAddImageSymbol function in mapsymbol.c in MapServer before 6.0.1 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or have unspecified other impact via crafted mapfile data.
Stack-based buffer overflow in MapServer before 4.10.7 and 5.x before 5.6.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to OGC filter encoding.
Multiple SQL injection flaws and one stack based buffer overflow flaw were found in MapServer: [1] http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2011-July/069430.html
More from [1]:
MapServer developers have discovered flaws in the OGC filter support in MapServer. That code is used in support of WFS, WMS-SLD and SOS specifications.
All versions may be susceptible to SQL injection under certain circumstances. The extent of the vulnerability depends on the MapServer version, relational database and mapfile configuration being used. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to these latest releases.
The 5.6.7 and 4.10.7 releases also address one significant potentially exploitable buffer overflow (6.0 branch is not vulneralble).

mapserv.c in mapserv in MapServer before 4.10.6 and 5.x before 5.6.4 does not properly restrict the use of CGI command-line arguments that were intended for debugging, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via crafted arguments.
Buffer overflow in the msTmpFile function in maputil.c in mapserv in MapServer before 4.10.6 and 5.x before 5.6.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service via vectors involving names of temporary files.
Multiple heap-based buffer underflows in the readPostBody function in cgiutil.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x through 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.4.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted Content-Length HTTP header or (2) a large HTTP request, related to an integer overflow that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-0840.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in maptemplate.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 have unknown impact and remote attack vectors.
mapserv.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 does not ensure that the string holding the id parameter ends in a '\0' character, which allows remote attackers to conduct buffer-overflow attacks or have unspecified other impact via a long id parameter in a query action.
Stack-based buffer overflow in mapserv.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2, when the server has a map with a long IMAGEPATH or NAME attribute, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted id parameter in a query action.
Directory traversal vulnerability in mapserv.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2, when running on Windows with Cygwin, allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the id parameter.
Heap-based buffer underflow in the readPostBody function in cgiutil.c in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via a negative value in the Content-Length HTTP header.
mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary invalid .map files via a full pathname in the map parameter, which triggers the display of partial file contents within an error message, as demonstrated by a /tmp/sekrut.map symlink.
The msLoadQuery function in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files via a full pathname in the queryfile parameter, which triggers different error messages depending on whether this pathname exists.
