Matt Wright's download.cgi 1.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the f parameter.

Buffer overflow in fpcount.exe in IIS 4.0 with FrontPage Server Extensions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

FileSystemObject (FSO) in the showfile.asp Active Server Page (ASP) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by specifying the name in the file parameter.

perlshop.cgi shopping cart program stores sensitive customer information in directories and files that are under the web root, which allows remote attackers to obtain that information via an HTTP request.

FORE PowerHub before 5.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via a TCP SYN scan with TCP/IP OS fingerprinting, e.g. via nmap.

Triactive Remote Manager with Basic authentication enabled stores the username and password in cleartext in registry keys, which could allow local users to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in /usr/bin/write in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via a long string in the terminal name argument.

The setup wizard (ie5setup.exe) for Internet Explorer 5.0 disables (1) the screen saver, which could leave the system open to users with physical access if a failure occurs during an unattended installation, and (2) the Task Scheduler Service, which might prevent the scheduled execution of security-critical programs.

Real Media RealServer (rmserver) 6.0.3.353 stores a password in plaintext in the world-readable rmserver.cfg file, which allows local users to gain privileges.

AV Option for MS Exchange Server option for InoculateIT 4.53, and possibly other versions, only scans the Inbox folder tree of a Microsoft Exchange server, which could allow viruses to escape detection if a user's rules cause the message to be moved to a different mailbox.

Internet Explorer 5.0 does not properly reset the username/password cache for Web sites that do not use standard cache controls, which could allow users on the same system to access restricted web sites that were visited by other users.

Pegasus e-mail client 3.0 and earlier uses weak encryption to store POP3 passwords in the pmail.ini file, which allows local users to easily decrypt the passwords and read e-mail.

Windows NT searches a user's home directory (%systemroot% by default) before other directories to find critical programs such as NDDEAGNT.EXE, EXPLORER.EXE, USERINIT.EXE or TASKMGR.EXE, which could allow local users to bypass access restrictions or gain privileges by placing a Trojan horse program into the root directory, which is writable by default.

Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an illegal kernel mode address to the functions (1) GetThreadContext or (2) SetThreadContext.

Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by running a program that creates a large number of locks on a file, which exhausts the NonPagedPool.

Win32k.sys in Windows NT 4.0 before SP2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by calling certain WIN32K functions with incorrect parameters.

Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 running WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a flood of malformed packets, which causes the server to slow down and fill the event logs with error messages.

Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service via a user mode application that closes a handle that was opened in kernel mode, which causes a crash when the kernel attempts to close the handle.

When the Ntconfig.pol file is used on a server whose name is longer than 13 characters, Windows NT does not properly enforce policies for global groups, which could allow users to bypass restrictions that were intended by those policies.

When an administrator in Windows NT or Windows 2000 changes a user policy, the policy is not properly updated if the local ntconfig.pol is not writable by the user, which could allow local users to bypass restrictions that would otherwise be enforced by the policy, possibly by changing the policy file to be read-only.
