Buffer overflow in GNOME libraries 1.0.8 allows local user to gain root access via a long --espeaker argument in programs such as nethack.

A bug in Intel Pentium processor (MMX and Overdrive) allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) in Intel-based operating systems such as Windows NT and Windows 95, via an invalid instruction, aka the "Invalid Operand with Locked CMPXCHG8B Instruction" problem.

ProFTPd 1.2 compiled with the mod_sqlpw module records user passwords in the wtmp log file, which allows local users to obtain the passwords and gain privileges by reading wtmp, e.g. via the last command.

PowerPoint 95 and 97 allows remote attackers to cause an application to be run automatically without prompting the user, possibly through the slide show, when the document is opened in browsers such as Internet Explorer.

When a Web site redirects the browser to another site, Internet Explorer 3.02 and 4.0 automatically resends authentication information to the second site, aka the "Page Redirect Issue."

Internet Explorer 4.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary text and HTML files on the user's machine via a small IFRAME that uses Dynamic HTML (DHTML) to send the data to the attacker, aka the Freiburg text-viewing issue.

Buffer overflow in passwd in BSD based operating systems 4.3 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges by specifying a long shell or GECOS field.

Eastman Work Management 3.21 stores passwords in cleartext in the COMMON and LOCATOR registry keys, which could allow local users to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in w3-auth CGI program in miniSQL package allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP request with (1) a long URL, or (2) a long User-Agent MIME header.

rdist in various UNIX systems uses popen to execute sendmail, which allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable.

Vulnerability in rcp on SunOS 4.0.x allows remote attackers from trusted hosts to execute arbitrary commands as root, possibly related to the configuration of the nobody user.

Vulnerability in Cisco routers versions 8.2 through 9.1 allows remote attackers to bypass access control lists when extended IP access lists are used on certain interfaces, the IP route cache is enabled, and the access list uses the "established" keyword.

Vulnerability in Cisco IOS 11.1 through 11.3 with distributed fast switching (DFS) enabled allows remote attackers to bypass certain access control lists when the router switches traffic from a DFS-enabled input interface to an output interface with a logical subinterface, as described by Cisco bug CSCdk43862.

Vulnerability in Cisco IOS 11.1CC and 11.1CT with distributed fast switching (DFS) enabled allows remote attackers to bypass certain access control lists when the router switches traffic from a DFS-enabled interface to an interface that does not have DFS enabled, as described by Cisco bug CSCdk35564.

Windows NT 4.0 before SP3 allows remote attackers to bypass firewall restrictions or cause a denial of service (crash) by sending improperly fragmented IP packets without the first fragment, which the TCP/IP stack incorrectly reassembles into a valid session.

Vulnerability in bb-hist.sh CGI History module in Big Brother 1.09b and 1.09c allows remote attackers to read portions of arbitrary files.

inpview in InPerson on IRIX 5.3 through IRIX 6.5.10 trusts the PATH environmental variable to find and execute the ttsession program, which allows local users to obtain root access by modifying the PATH to point to a Trojan horse ttsession program.

BMC PATROL SNMP Agent before 3.2.07 allows local users to create arbitrary world-writeable files as root by specifying the target file as the second argument to the snmpmagt program.

BMC PATROL Agent before 3.2.07 allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

Buffer overflow in at program in Digital UNIX 4.0 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.
