Indigo Magic System Tour in the SGI system tour package (systour) for IRIX 5.x through 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a Trojan horse .exitops program, which is called by the inst command that is executed by the RemoveSystemTour program.

(1) bash before 1.14.7, and (2) tcsh 6.05 allow local users to gain privileges via directory names that contain shell metacharacters (` back-tick), which can cause the commands enclosed in the directory name to be executed when the shell expands filenames using the \w option in the PS1 variable.

NetWare NFS mode 1 and 2 implements the "Read Only" flag in Unix by changing the ownership of a file to root, which allows local users to gain root privileges by creating a setuid program and setting it to "Read Only," which NetWare-NFS changes to a setuid root program.

Buffer overflow in dbadmin CGI program 1.0.1 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Symantec Norton Utilities 2.0 for Windows 95 marks the TUNEOCX.OCX ActiveX control as safe for scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the run option through malicious web pages that are accessed by browsers such as Internet Explorer 3.0.

DNS allows remote attackers to use DNS name servers as traffic amplifiers via a UDP DNS query with a spoofed source address, which produces more traffic to the victim than was sent by the attacker.

dbmlparser.exe CGI guestbook program does not perform a chroot operation properly, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

Matt Wright's download.cgi 1.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the f parameter.

Buffer overflow in fpcount.exe in IIS 4.0 with FrontPage Server Extensions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

FileSystemObject (FSO) in the showfile.asp Active Server Page (ASP) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by specifying the name in the file parameter.

perlshop.cgi shopping cart program stores sensitive customer information in directories and files that are under the web root, which allows remote attackers to obtain that information via an HTTP request.

FORE PowerHub before 5.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via a TCP SYN scan with TCP/IP OS fingerprinting, e.g. via nmap.

Triactive Remote Manager with Basic authentication enabled stores the username and password in cleartext in registry keys, which could allow local users to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in /usr/bin/write in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via a long string in the terminal name argument.

The setup wizard (ie5setup.exe) for Internet Explorer 5.0 disables (1) the screen saver, which could leave the system open to users with physical access if a failure occurs during an unattended installation, and (2) the Task Scheduler Service, which might prevent the scheduled execution of security-critical programs.

Real Media RealServer (rmserver) 6.0.3.353 stores a password in plaintext in the world-readable rmserver.cfg file, which allows local users to gain privileges.

AV Option for MS Exchange Server option for InoculateIT 4.53, and possibly other versions, only scans the Inbox folder tree of a Microsoft Exchange server, which could allow viruses to escape detection if a user's rules cause the message to be moved to a different mailbox.

Internet Explorer 5.0 does not properly reset the username/password cache for Web sites that do not use standard cache controls, which could allow users on the same system to access restricted web sites that were visited by other users.

Pegasus e-mail client 3.0 and earlier uses weak encryption to store POP3 passwords in the pmail.ini file, which allows local users to easily decrypt the passwords and read e-mail.

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.
