BMC Patrol component, when installed with Compaq Insight Management Agent 4.23 and earlier, or Management Agents for Servers 4.40 and earlier, creates a PFCUser account with a default password and potentially dangerous privileges.

Vulnerability when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled in Linux 2.2.10 and earlier with ipchains, or FreeBSD 3.2 with ipfw, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a ping -R (record route) command.

snmpd server in cmu-snmp SNMP package before 3.3-1 in Red Hat Linux 4.0 is configured to allow remote attackers to read and write sensitive information.

Multiple buffer overflows in filter command in Elm 2.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) long From: headers, (2) long Reply-To: headers, or (3) via a long -f (filterfile) command line argument.

automatic download option in ncftp 2.4.2 FTP client in Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the names of files that are to be downloaded.

gzexe in the gzip package on Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

netcfg 2.16-1 in Red Hat Linux 4.2 allows the Ethernet interface to be controlled by users on reboot when an option is set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by shutting down the interface.

The snprintf function in the db library 1.85.4 ignores the size parameter, which could allow attackers to exploit buffer overflows that would be prevented by a properly implemented snprintf.

Buffer overflow in SysVInit in Red Hat Linux 5.1 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges.

linuxconf before 1.11.r11-rh3 on Red Hat Linux 5.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in linuxconf 1.11r11-rh2 on Red Hat Linux 5.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long LANG environmental variable.

SAS System 5.18 on VAX/VMS is installed with insecure permissions for its directories and startup file, which allows local users to gain privileges.

VAXstations running Open VMS 5.3 through 5.5-2 with VMS DECwindows or MOTIF do not properly disable access to user accounts that exceed the break-in limit threshold for failed login attempts, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.

Vulnerability in Novell NetWare 3.x and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via packet spoofing.

Windows NT 4.0 SP4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the symbolic link table in the \?? object folder using a different case letter (upper or lower) to point to a different device.

Passfilt.dll in Windows NT SP2 allows users to create a password that contains the user's name, which could make it easier for an attacker to guess.

Vulnerabilities in DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS before 5.8 on DEC Alpha AXP and VAX/VMS systems allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.

Vulnerability in urestore in Novell UnixWare 1.1 allows local users to gain root privileges.

Vulnerability in accton in Cray UNICOS 6.1 and 6.0 allows local users to read arbitrary files and modify system accounting configuration.

Office Shortcut Bar (OSB) in Windows 3.51 enables backup and restore permissions, which are inherited by programs such as File Manager that are started from the Shortcut Bar, which could allow local users to read folders for which they do not have permission.

mod_proxy in Apache 1.2.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed FTP commands, which causes Apache to dump core.

Buffer overflow in nftp FTP client version 1.40 allows remote malicious FTP servers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long response string.

Vulnerability in Analog 3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the forms interface.

An interaction between the AS/400 shared folders feature and Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 and earlier allows users to view each other's folders when the users share the same Local APPC LU.

Microsoft Office 98, Macintosh Edition, does not properly initialize the disk space used by Office 98 files and effectively inserts data from previously deleted files into the Office file, which could allow attackers to obtain sensitive information.
