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.

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.

MacOS uses weak encryption for passwords that are stored in the Users & Groups Data File.
