Vulnerability in the /etc/suid_exec program in HP Apollo Domain/OS sr10.2 and sr10.3 beta, related to the Korn Shell (ksh).

Buffer overflow in Korn Shell (ksh) suid_exec program on IRIX 6.x and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in Eudora Internet Mail Server (EIMS) 2.01 and earlier on MacOS systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long USER command to port 106.

Buffer overflow in IrfanView32 3.07 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long string after the "8BPS" image type in a Photo Shop image header.

Vulnerability in StackGuard before 1.21 allows remote attackers to bypass the Random and Terminator Canary security mechanisms by using a non-linear attack which directly modifies a pointer to a return address instead of using a buffer overflow to reach the return address entry itself.

Windows Media Player ActiveX object as used in Internet Explorer 5.0 returns a specific error code when a file does not exist, which allows remote malicious web sites to determine the existence of files on the client.

Sendmail before 8.10.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a series of ETRN commands then disconnecting from the server, while Sendmail continues to process the commands after the connection has been terminated.

Buffer overflow in kppp in KDE allows local users to gain root access via a long PATH environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in kppp in KDE allows local users to gain root access via a long -c (account_name) command line argument.

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.

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.

dxconsole in DEC OSF/1 3.2C and earlier allows local users to read arbitrary files by specifying the file with the -file parameter.

lpr on SunOS 4.1.1, BSD 4.3, A/UX 2.0.1, and other BSD-based operating systems allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack that is triggered after invoking lpr 1000 times.

Kabsoftware Lydia utility uses weak encryption to store user passwords in the lydia.ini file, which allows local users to easily decrypt the passwords and gain privileges.

Cisco PIX Private Link 4.1.6 and earlier does not properly process certain commands in the configuration file, which reduces the effective key length of the DES key to 48 bits instead of 56 bits, which makes it easier for an attacker to find the proper key via a brute force attack.

Kerberos 4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a malformed UDP packet that generates an error string that inadvertently includes the realm name and the last user.

Vulnerability in BSD Telnet client with encryption and Kerberos 4 authentication allows remote attackers to decrypt the session via sniffing.
