By design, the "established" command on the Cisco PIX firewall allows connections from one host to arbitrary ports of a target host if an alternative conduit has already been allowed, which can cause administrators to configure less restrictive access controls than intended if they do not understand this functionality.

HP JetAdmin D.01.09 on Solaris allows local users to change the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/jetadmin.log file.

cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed characters (such as those from password prompts) via the L2/AGAIN key.

libnsl in Solaris allowed an attacker to perform a denial of service of rpcbind.

Buffer overflow in POP servers based on BSD/Qualcomm's qpopper allows remote attackers to gain root access using a long PASS command.

login in Slackware Linux 3.2 through 3.5 does not properly check for an error when the /etc/group file is missing, which prevents it from dropping privileges, causing it to assign root privileges to any local user who logs on to the server.

KMail in KDE 1.0 provides a PGP passphrase as a command line argument to other programs, which could allow local users to obtain the passphrase and compromise the PGP keys of other users by viewing the arguments via programs that list process information, such as ps.

Buffer overflow in libsocks5 library of Socks 5 (socks5) 1.0r5 allows local users to gain privileges via long environmental variables.

Buffer overflow in SLmail 3.x allows attackers to execute commands using a large FROM line.

Ray Chan WWW Authorization Gateway 0.1 CGI program allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the "user" parameter.

ePerl 2.2.12 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and possibly execute certain commands by specifying a full pathname of the target file as an argument to bar.phtml.

Buffer overflow in the lex routines of nslookup for AIX 4.3 may allow attackers to cause a core dump and possibly execute arbitrary code via "long input strings."

The at program in IRIX 6.2 and NetBSD 1.3.2 and earlier allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files by submitting the file to at with the -f argument, which generates error messages that at sends to the user via e-mail.

StarTech (1) POP3 proxy server and (2) telnet server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long USER command.

Denial of service in WinGate proxy through a buffer overflow in POP3.

ioconfig on SGI IRIX 6.4 S2MP for Origin/Onyx2 allows local users to gain root access using relative pathnames.

disk_bandwidth on SGI IRIX 6.4 S2MP for Origin/Onyx2 allows local users to gain root access using relative pathnames.

Linux 2.0.34 does not properly prevent users from sending SIGIO signals to arbitrary processes, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending SIGIO to processes that do not catch it.

Livingston Portmaster routers running ComOS use the same initial sequence number (ISN) for TCP connections, which allows remote attackers to conduct spoofing and hijack TCP sessions.

Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 uses weak encryption for the password for the SQLExecutiveCmdExec account and stores it in an accessible portion of the registry, which could allow local users to gain privileges by reading and decrypting the CmdExecAccount value.

NIS finger allows an attacker to conduct a denial of service via a large number of finger requests, resulting in a large number of NIS queries.

Tiger 2.2.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on various temporary files in Tiger's default working directory, as defined by the WORKDIR variable.

rex.satan in SATAN 1.1.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/rex.$$ file.

COPS 1.04 allows local users to overwrite or create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files in (1) res_diff, (2) ca.src, and (3) mail.chk.
