Buffer overflow in the LDAP component of Ipswitch IMail 7.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long "bind DN" parameter.

getuserdesc.asp in Hosting Controller 2002 allows remote attackers to change the passwords of arbitrary users and gain privileges by modifying the username parameter, as addressed by the "UpdateUser" hot fix.

browse.asp in Hosting Controller allows remote attackers to view arbitrary directories by specifying the target pathname in the FilePath parameter.

Hosting Controller creates a default user AdvWebadmin with a default password, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges if the password is not changed.

imp_rootdir.asp for Hosting Controller allows remote attackers to copy or delete arbitrary files and directories via a direct request to imp_rootdir.asp and modifying parameters such as (1) ftp, (2) owwwPath, and (3) oftpPath.

Directory traversal vulnerability in dsnmanager.asp for Hosting Controller allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and directories via a .. (dot dot) in the RootName parameter.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability in viewcvs.cgi for ViewCVS 0.9.2 allows remote attackers to inject script and steal cookies via the (1) cvsroot or (2) sortby parameters.

Quake 2 (Q2) server 3.20 and 3.21 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive server cvar variables, obtain directory listings, and execute Q2 server admin commands via a client that does not expand "$" macros, which causes the server to expand the macros and leak the information, as demonstrated using "say $rcon_password."

The web-based configuration interface for the Cisco ATA 186 Analog Telephone Adaptor allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via an HTTP POST request with a single byte, which allows the attackers to (1) obtain the password from the login screen, or (2) reconfigure the adaptor by modifying certain request parameters.

Buffer overflow in lukemftp FTP client in SuSE 6.4 through 8.0, and possibly other operating systems, allows a malicious FTP server to execute arbitrary code via a long PASV command.

simpleinit on Linux systems does not close a read/write FIFO file descriptor before creating a child process, which allows the child process to cause simpleinit to execute arbitrary programs with root privileges.

OpenBSD 2.9 through 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) and gain root privileges by filling the kernel's file descriptor table and closing file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 before executing a privileged process, which is not properly handled when OpenBSD fails to open an alternate descriptor.

sshd in OpenSSH 3.2.2, when using YP with netgroups and under certain conditions, may allow users to successfully authenticate and log in with another user's password.

Phorum 3.3.2a allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP request to (1) plugin.php, (2) admin.php, or (3) del.php that modifies the PHORUM[settings_dir] variable to point to a directory that contains a PHP file with the commands.

Vulnerability in administration server for HP VirtualVault 4.5 on HP-UX 11.04 allows remote web servers or privileged external processes to bypass access restrictions and establish connections to the server.

shadow package in SuSE 8.0 allows local users to destroy the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files or assign extra group privileges to some users by changing filesize limits before calling programs that modify the files.

bzip2 before 1.0.2 in FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier, OpenLinux 3.1 and 3.1.1, and possibly systems, uses the permissions of symbolic links instead of the actual files when creating an archive, which could cause the files to be extracted with less restrictive permissions than intended.

Race condition in bzip2 before 1.0.2 in FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier, OpenLinux 3.1 and 3.1.1, and possibly other operating systems, decompresses files with world-readable permissions before setting the permissions to what is specified in the bzip2 archive, which could allow local users to read the files as they are being decompressed.

bzip2 before 1.0.2 in FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier, OpenLinux 3.1 and 3.1.1, and possibly other operating systems, does not use the O_EXCL flag to create files during decompression and does not warn the user if an existing file would be overwritten, which could allow attackers to overwrite files via a bzip2 archive.

ifup-dhcp script in the sysconfig package for SuSE 8.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via spoofed DHCP responses, which are stored and executed in a file.
