Buffer overflow in tryelf() in readelf.c of the file command allows attackers to execute arbitrary code as the user running file, possibly via a large entity size value in an ELF header (elfhdr.e_shentsize).

miniserv.pl in (1) Webmin before 1.070 and (2) Usermin before 1.000 does not properly handle metacharacters such as line feeds and carriage returns (CRLF) in Base-64 encoded strings during Basic authentication, which allows remote attackers to spoof a session ID and gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in Cisco IOS 11.2.x to 12.0.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute commands via a large number of OSPF neighbor announcements.

Multiple buffer overflows in apcupsd before 3.8.6, and 3.10.x before 3.10.5, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code, related to usage of the vsprintf function.

Unknown vulnerability in apcupsd before 3.8.6, and 3.10.x before 3.10.5, allows remote attackers to gain root privileges, possibly via format strings in a request to a slave server.

Unknown vulnerability in CGI module for PHP 4.3.0 allows attackers to access arbitrary files as the PHP user, and possibly execute PHP code, by bypassing the CGI force redirect settings (cgi.force_redirect or --enable-force-cgi-redirect).

Multiple buffer overflows in Oracle 9i Database release 2, Release 1, 8i, 8.1.7, and 8.0.6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long conversion string argument to the TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ function, (2) a long time zone argument to the TZ_OFFSET function, or (3) a long DIRECTORY parameter to the BFILENAME function.

Buffer overflow in ORACLE.EXE for Oracle Database Server 9i, 8i, 8.1.7, and 8.0.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long username that is provided during login, as exploitable through client applications that perform their own authentication, as demonstrated using LOADPSP.

A patch for mcookie in the util-linux package for Mandrake Linux 8.2 and 9.0 uses /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random, which causes mcookie to use an entropy source that is more predictable than expected, which may make it easier for certain types of attacks to succeed.

The RADIUS decoder in tcpdump 3.6.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid RADIUS packet with a header length field of 0, which causes tcpdump to generate data within an infinite loop.

Heap-based buffer overflow in dtsession for Solaris 2.5.1 through Solaris 9 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long HOME environment variable.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the bsd_queue() function for lpq on Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain root privilege.

Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2000-0844. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2000-0844. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2000-0844 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage

Buffer overflow in the Software Distributor utilities for HP-UX B.11.00 and B.11.11 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long LANG environment variable to setuid programs such as (1) swinstall and (2) swmodify.

TruBlueEnvironment for MacOS 10.2.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite or create arbitrary files and gain root privileges by setting a certain environment variable that is used to write debugging information.

Buffer overflow in libIM library (libIM.a) for National Language Support (NLS) on AIX 4.3 through 5.2 allows local users to gain privileges via several possible attack vectors, including a long -im argument to aixterm.

The code for writing reg files in Samba before 2.2.8 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a race condition involving chown.

Buffer overflow in the SMB/CIFS packet fragment re-assembly code for SMB daemon (smbd) in Samba before 2.2.8, and Samba-TNG before 0.3.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

mod_auth_any package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and other operating systems does not properly escape arguments when calling other programs, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

Apache 1.3 before 1.3.25 and Apache 2.0 before version 2.0.46 does not filter terminal escape sequences from its access logs, which could make it easier for attackers to insert those sequences into terminal emulators containing vulnerabilities related to escape sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0020.
