Format string vulnerability in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

BIND 4 and BIND 8 allow remote attackers to access sensitive information such as environment variables.

Buffer overflow in nslookupComplain function in BIND 4 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in transaction signature (TSIG) handling code in BIND 8 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

crypto/rsa/rsa_gen.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.6 mishandles C bitwise-shift operations that exceed the size of an expression, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging improper RSA key generation on 64-bit HP-UX platforms.

The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems authenticates by comparing the reverse-resolved hostname of the local machine to the hostname of the print server as returned by gethostname, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access controls by modifying the DNS for the attacking IP.

The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems allows local users to gain root privileges by causing sendmail to execute with arbitrary command line arguments, as demonstrated using the -C option to specify a configuration file.

Buffer overflows in the (1) outpack or (2) buf variables of ping in iputils before 20001010, as distributed on Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7J and other operating systems, may allow local users to gain privileges.

ping in iputils before 20001010, as distributed on Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7J and other operating systems, does not drop privileges after acquiring a raw socket, which increases ping's exposure to bugs that otherwise would occur at lower privileges.

Zope 2.2.0 through 2.2.4 does not properly protect a data updating method on Image and File objects, which allows attackers with DTML editing privileges to modify the raw data of these objects.

Zope 2.2.0 through 2.2.4 does not properly perform security registration for legacy names of object constructors such as DTML method objects, which could allow attackers to perform unauthorized activities.

Format string vulnerability in startprinting() function of printjob.c in BSD-based lpr lpd package may allow local users to gain privileges via an improper syslog call that uses format strings from the checkremote() call.

userhelper in the usermode package on Red Hat Linux executes non-setuid programs as root, which does not activate the security measures in glibc and allows the programs to be exploited via format string vulnerabilities in glibc via the LANG or LC_ALL environment variables (CVE-2000-0844).

htsearch program in htDig 3.2 beta, 3.1.6, 3.1.5, and earlier allows remote attackers to determine the physical path of the server by requesting a non-existent configuration file using the config parameter, which generates an error message that includes the full path.

imwheel-solo in imwheel package allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack from the .imwheelrc file.

Buffer overflow in pam_localuser PAM module in Red Hat Linux 7.x and 6.x allows attackers to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in the HTML parser for Netscape 4.75 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long password value in a form field.

Joe text editor follows symbolic links when creating a rescue copy called DEADJOE during an abnormal exit, which allows local users to overwrite the files of other users whose joe session crashes.

Multiple buffer overflows in AFS ACL parser for Ethereal 0.8.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a packet with a long username.

OpenSSH SSH client before 2.3.0 does not properly disable X11 or agent forwarding, which could allow a malicious SSH server to gain access to the X11 display and sniff X11 events, or gain access to the ssh-agent.
