Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults.

Novell 5 and earlier, when running over IPX with a packet signature level less than 3, allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges by spoofing the MAC address in IPC fragmented packets that make NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) calls.

Joe's Own Editor (joe) 2.8 sets the world-readable permission on its crash-save file, DEADJOE, which could allow local users to read files that were being edited by other users.

BMC PATROL SNMP Agent before 3.2.07 allows local users to create arbitrary world-writeable files as root by specifying the target file as the second argument to the snmpmagt program.

Linux 2.0.37 does not properly encode the Custom segment limit, which allows local users to gain root privileges by accessing and modifying kernel memory.

Netscape Communicator 4.x with Javascript enabled does not warn a user of cookie settings, even if they have selected the option to "Only accept cookies originating from the same server as the page being viewed".

IIS 3.x and 4.x does not distinguish between pages requiring encryption and those that do not, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via SSL requests to the HTTPS port for normally unencrypted files, which will cause IIS to perform extra work to send the files over SSL.
