A possible interaction between Apple MacOS X release 1.0 and Apache HTTP server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of HTTP GET requests to CGI programs, which generates a large number of processes.

The installation of the fsp package 2.71-10 in Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 adds the anonymous FTP user without notifying the administrator, which could automatically enable anonymous FTP on some servers such as wu-ftp.

addnetpr in IRIX 5.3 and 6.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the printers temporary file.

The at program in IRIX 6.2 and NetBSD 1.3.2 and earlier allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files by submitting the file to at with the -f argument, which generates error messages that at sends to the user via e-mail.

Vulnerability in AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 and 9.05 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using a socket to connect to a port on the localhost, calling shutdown to clear the socket, then using the same socket to connect to a different port on localhost.

ifdhcpc-done script for configuring DHCP on Red Hat Linux 5 allows local users to append text to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the dhcplog file.

dumpreg in Red Hat Linux 5.1 opens /dev/mem with O_RDWR access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by redirecting fd 1 (stdout) to the kernel.

snap command in AIX before 4.3.2 creates the /tmp/ibmsupt directory with world-readable permissions and does not remove or clear the directory when snap -a is executed, which could allow local users to access the shadowed password file by creating /tmp/ibmsupt/general/passwd before root runs snap -a.

IBM/Tivoli OPC Tracker Agent version 2 release 1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via malformed data to the localtracker client port (5011), which prevents the connection from being closed properly.

IBM/Tivoli OPC Tracker Agent version 2 release 1 creates files, directories, and IPC message queues with insecure permissions (world-readable and world-writable), which could allow local users to disrupt operations and possibly gain privileges by modifying or deleting files.

The access permissions for a UNIX domain socket are ignored in Solaris 2.x and SunOS 4.x, and other BSD-based operating systems before 4.4, which could allow local users to connect to the socket and possibly disrupt or control the operations of the program using that socket.

Vulnerability in Desktop searchbook program in IRIX 5.0.x through 6.2 sets insecure permissions for certain user files (iconbook and searchbook).

The Economist screen saver 1999 with the "Password Protected" option enabled allows users with physical access to the machine to bypass the screen saver and read files by running Internet Explorer while the screen is still locked.

spaceball program in SpaceWare 7.3 v1.0 in IRIX 6.2 allows local users to gain root privileges by setting the HOSTNAME environmental variable to contain the commands to be executed.

Vulnerability in xfsdump in SGI IRIX may allow local users to obtain root privileges via the bck.log log file, possibly via a symlink attack.

Index Server 2.0 on IIS 4.0 stores physical path information in the ContentIndex\Catalogs subkey of the AllowedPaths registry key, whose permissions allows local and remote users to obtain the physical paths of directories that are being indexed.

Vulnerability in integer multiplication emulation code on SPARC architectures for SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 allows local users to gain root access or cause a denial of service (crash).

Vulnerability in Monitor utility (SYS$SHARE:SPISHR.EXE) in VMS 5.0 through 5.4-2 allows local users to gain privileges.

BSD 4.4 based operating systems, when running at security level 1, allow the root user to clear the immutable and append-only flags for files by unmounting the file system and using a file system editor such as fsdb to directly modify the file through a device.

Control Panel "Password Security" option for Apple Powerbooks allows attackers with physical access to the machine to bypass the security by booting it with an emergency startup disk and using a disk editor to modify the on/off toggle or password in the aaaaaaaAPWD file, which is normally inaccessible.
