Denial of service in Netscape Enterprise Server via a buffer overflow in the SSL handshake.

The Sun HotSpot Performance Engine VM allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service on any server running HotSpot via a URL that includes the [ character.

Denial of service in various Windows systems via malformed, fragmented IGMP packets.

BSD 4.4 based operating systems, when running at security level 1, allow the root user to clear the immutable and append-only flags for files by unmounting the file system and using a file system editor such as fsdb to directly modify the file through a device.

Buffer overflow in CDE Calendar Manager Service Daemon (rpc.cmsd).

HP CDE program includes the current directory in root's PATH variable.

Buffer overflows in HP Software Distributor (SD) for HPUX 10.x and 11.x.

Denial of service in RAS/PPTP on NT systems.

Linuxconf on Red Hat Linux 6.0 and earlier does not properly disable PAM-based access to the shutdown command, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service.

WebTrends software stores account names and passwords in a file which does not have restricted access permissions.

Pine 4.x allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands via an index.html file which executes lynx and obtains a uudecoded file from a malicious web server, which is then executed by Pine.

Windows NT searches a user's home directory (%systemroot% by default) before other directories to find critical programs such as NDDEAGNT.EXE, EXPLORER.EXE, USERINIT.EXE or TASKMGR.EXE, which could allow local users to bypass access restrictions or gain privileges by placing a Trojan horse program into the root directory, which is writable by default.

MBone SDR Package allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages.

Buffer overflow in VMWare 1.0.1 for Linux via a long HOME environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in Xi Graphics Accelerated-X server allows local users to gain root access via a long display or query parameter.

Microsoft Outlook client allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending multiple email messages with the same X-UIDL headers, which causes Outlook to hang.

inflate.c in the zlib routines in the Linux kernel before 2.6.12.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a compressed file with "improper tables".

Buffer overflows in Red Hat net-tools package.

Eastman Work Management 3.21 stores passwords in cleartext in the COMMON and LOCATOR registry keys, which could allow local users to gain privileges.

SpectroSERVER in Cabletron Spectrum Enterprise Manager 5.0 installs a directory tree with insecure permissions, which allows local users to replace a privileged executable (processd) with a Trojan horse, facilitating a root or Administrator compromise.

The KDE klock program allows local users to unlock a session using malformed input.

The Windows NT Client Server Runtime Subsystem (CSRSS) can be subjected to a denial of service when all worker threads are waiting for user input.

The Debian mailman package uses weak authentication, which allows attackers to gain privileges.

Novell NetWare with Novell-HTTP-Server or YAWN web servers allows remote attackers to conduct a denial of service via a large number of HTTP GET requests.

Buffer overflow in IIS 4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed request for files with .HTR, .IDC, or .STM extensions.

The zsoelim program in the Debian man-db package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

The dtlogin program in Compaq Tru64 UNIX allows local users to gain root privileges.

Cisco Gigabit Switch routers running IOS allow remote attackers to forward unauthorized packets due to improper handling of the "established" keyword in an access list.

useradd in Solaris 7.0 does not properly interpret certain date formats as specified in the "-e" (expiration date) argument, which could allow users to login after their accounts have expired.

The Red Hat Linux su program does not log failed password guesses if the su process is killed before it times out, which allows local attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.

ssh 2.0.12, and possibly other versions, allows valid user names to attempt to enter the correct password multiple times, but only prompts an invalid user name for a password once, which allows remote attackers to determine user account names on the server.

Sudo 1.5 in Debian Linux 2.1 and Red Hat 6.0 allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files by attempting to execute the target filename as a program, which generates a different error message when the file does not exist.

rpc.statd allows remote attackers to forward RPC calls to the local operating system via the SM_MON and SM_NOTIFY commands, which in turn could be used to remotely exploit other bugs such as in automountd.

The OmniHTTPD visadmin.exe program allows a remote attacker to conduct a denial of service via a malformed URL which causes a large number of temporary files to be created.

A possible interaction between Apple MacOS X release 1.0 and Apache HTTP server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of HTTP GET requests to CGI programs, which generates a large number of processes.
