Solaris Solstice AdminSuite (AdminSuite) 2.1 uses unsafe permissions when adding new users to the NIS+ password table, which allows local users to gain root access by modifying their password table entries.

ping in Solaris 2.3 through 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a ping request to a multicast address through the loopback interface, e.g. via ping -i.

The default configuration of Slackware 3.4, and possibly other versions, includes . (dot, the current directory) in the PATH environmental variable, which could allow local users to create Trojan horse programs that are inadvertently executed by other users.

NBase switches NH208 and NH215 run a TFTP server which allows remote attackers to send software updates to modify the switch or cause a denial of service (crash) by guessing the target filenames, which have default names.

NBase switches NH2012, NH2012R, NH2015, and NH2048 have a back door password that cannot be disabled, which allows remote attackers to modify the switch's configuration.

Buffer overflow in nss_nisplus.so.1 library in NIS+ in Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 allows local users to gain root privileges.

ICQ99 ICQ web server build 1701 with "Active Homepage" enabled generates allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files on the server by comparing server responses when a file exists ("404 Forbidden") versus when a file does not exist ("404 not found").

Format string vulnerability in AnswerBook2 (AB2) web server dwhttpd 3.1a4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands via encoded % characters in an HTTP request, which is improperly logged.

AnswerBook2 (AB2) web server dwhttpd 3.1a4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via an HTTP POST request with a large content-length.

Vulnerability in /usr/bin/mail in DEC ULTRIX before 4.2 allows local users to gain privileges.

IBM Netfinity Remote Control allows local users to gain administrator privileges by starting programs from the process manager, which runs with system level privileges.

Solaris 2.4 before kernel jumbo patch -35 allows set-gid programs to dump core even if the real user id is not in the set-gid group, which allows local users to overwrite or create files at higher privileges by causing a core dump, e.g. through dmesg.

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.

The installation of the fsp package 2.71-10 in Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 adds the anonymous FTP user without notifying the administrator, which could automatically enable anonymous FTP on some servers such as wu-ftp.

addnetpr in IRIX 5.3 and 6.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the printers temporary file.

The at program in IRIX 6.2 and NetBSD 1.3.2 and earlier allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files by submitting the file to at with the -f argument, which generates error messages that at sends to the user via e-mail.

Vulnerability in AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 and 9.05 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using a socket to connect to a port on the localhost, calling shutdown to clear the socket, then using the same socket to connect to a different port on localhost.

ifdhcpc-done script for configuring DHCP on Red Hat Linux 5 allows local users to append text to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the dhcplog file.

dumpreg in Red Hat Linux 5.1 opens /dev/mem with O_RDWR access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by redirecting fd 1 (stdout) to the kernel.

snap command in AIX before 4.3.2 creates the /tmp/ibmsupt directory with world-readable permissions and does not remove or clear the directory when snap -a is executed, which could allow local users to access the shadowed password file by creating /tmp/ibmsupt/general/passwd before root runs snap -a.
