sort creates temporary files and follows symbolic links, which allows local users to modify arbitrary files that are writable by the user running sort, as observed in updatedb and other programs that use sort.

Buffer overflow in Internet Explorer 4.01 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long URL with the "mk:" protocol, aka the "MK Overrun security issue."

Buffer overflow in the Window.External function in the JScript Scripting Engine in Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malicious web page.

tin 1.40 creates the .tin directory with insecure permissions, which allows local users to read passwords from the .inputhistory file.

UNIX news readers tin and rtin create the /tmp/.tin_log file with insecure permissions and follow symlinks, which allows attackers to modify the permissions of files writable by the user via a symlink attack.

The default configuration of NCSA Telnet package for Macintosh and PC enables FTP, even though it does not include an "ftp=yes" line, which allows remote attackers to read and modify arbitrary files.

Buffer overflow in chfn command in HP-UX 9.X through 10.20 allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

Vulnerability in chsh command in HP-UX 9.X through 10.20 allows local users to gain privileges.

Internet Explorer 4 treats a 32-bit number ("dotless IP address") in the a URL as the hostname instead of an IP address, which causes IE to apply Local Intranet Zone settings to the resulting web page, allowing remote malicious web servers to conduct unauthorized activities by using URLs that contain the dotless IP address for their server.

Novell 5 and earlier, when running over IPX with a packet signature level less than 3, allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges by spoofing the MAC address in IPC fragmented packets that make NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) calls.

SSH 1.2.25, 1.2.23, and other versions, when used in in CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) or CFB (Cipher Feedback 64 bits) modes, allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary data into an existing stream between an SSH client and server by using a known plaintext attack and computing a valid CRC-32 checksum for the packet, aka the "SSH insertion attack."

The "AEDebug" registry key is installed with insecure permissions, which allows local users to modify the key to specify a Trojan Horse debugger which is automatically executed on a system crash.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Jana proxy web server 1.45 allows remote attackers to ready arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Jana proxy web server 1.40 allows remote attackers to ready arbitrary files via a "......" (modified dot dot) attack.

Vulnerability in files.pl script in Novell WebServer Examples Toolkit 2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

rmmount in SunOS 5.7 may mount file systems without the nosuid flag set, contrary to the documentation and its use in previous versions of SunOS, which could allow local users with physical access to gain root privileges by mounting a floppy or CD-ROM that contains a setuid program and running volcheck, when the file systems do not have the nosuid option specified in rmmount.conf.

Vulnerability in ptrace in AIX 4.3 allows local users to gain privileges by attaching to a setgid program.

WS_FTP Pro 6.0 uses weak encryption for passwords in its initialization files, which allows remote attackers to easily decrypt the passwords and gain privileges.

Idle locking function in MacOS 9 allows local attackers to bypass the password protection of idled sessions via the programmer's switch or CMD-PWR keyboard sequence, which brings up a debugger that the attacker can use to disable the lock.

Idle locking function in MacOS 9 allows local users to bypass the password protection of idled sessions by selecting the "Log Out" option and selecting a "Cancel" option in the dialog box for an application that attempts to verify that the user wants to log out, which returns the attacker into the locked session.
