genkey utility in Alibaba 2.0 generates RSA key pairs with an exponent of 1, which results in transactions that are sent in cleartext.

Vulnerability in bb-hist.sh CGI History module in Big Brother 1.09b and 1.09c allows remote attackers to read portions of arbitrary files.

Vulnerability in Cisco IOS 11.1 through 11.3 with distributed fast switching (DFS) enabled allows remote attackers to bypass certain access control lists when the router switches traffic from a DFS-enabled input interface to an output interface with a logical subinterface, as described by Cisco bug CSCdk43862.

A bug in Intel Pentium processor (MMX and Overdrive) allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) in Intel-based operating systems such as Windows NT and Windows 95, via an invalid instruction, aka the "Invalid Operand with Locked CMPXCHG8B Instruction" problem.

When a Web site redirects the browser to another site, Internet Explorer 3.02 and 4.0 automatically resends authentication information to the second site, aka the "Page Redirect Issue."

Windows 95 uses weak encryption for the password list (.pwl) file used when password caching is enabled, which allows local users to gain privileges by decrypting the passwords.

Windows 95, when Remote Administration and File Sharing for NetWare Networks is enabled, creates a share (C$) when an administrator logs in remotely, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by mapping the network drive.

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.
