htsearch CGI program in htdig (ht://Dig) 3.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to use the -c option to specify an alternate configuration file, which could be used to (1) cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by specifying a large file such as /dev/zero, or (2) read arbitrary files by uploading an alternate configuration file that specifies the target file.

Buffer overflow in internal string handling routines of xinetd before 2.1.8.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a length argument of zero or less, which disables the length check.

A buffer overflow in Linux fetchmail before 5.8.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large 'To:' field in an email header.

OpenSSH before 2.9.9, when running sftp using sftp-server and using restricted keypairs, allows remote authenticated users to bypass authorized_keys2 command= restrictions using sftp commands.

LPRng in Red Hat Linux 7.0 and 7.1 does not properly drop memberships in supplemental groups when lowering privileges, which could allow a local user to elevate privileges.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Icecast 1.3.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a modified .. (dot dot) attack using encoded URL characters.

Buffer overflow in xloadimage 4.1 (aka xli 1.16 and 1.17) in Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a FACES format image containing a long (1) Firstname or (2) Lastname field.

Buffer overflow in Linux xinetd 2.1.8.9pre11-1 and earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ident response, which is not properly handled by the svc_logprint function.

Vulnerability in (1) pine before 4.33 and (2) the pico editor, included with pine, allows local users local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Apache 1.3.20 with Multiviews enabled allows remote attackers to view directory contents and bypass the index page via a URL containing the "M=D" query string.

split-logfile in Apache 1.3.20 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files that end in the .log extension via an HTTP request with a / (slash) in the Host: header.

Buffer overflows in Washington University imapd 2000a through 2000c could allow local users without shell access to execute code as themselves in certain configurations.

Format string vulnerability in exim (3.22-10 in Red Hat, 3.12 in Debian and 3.16 in Conectiva) in batched SMTP mode allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via format strings in SMTP mail headers.

Buffer overflow in BSD line printer daemon (in.lpd or lpd) in various BSD-based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an incomplete print job followed by a request to display the printer queue.

Sendmail 8.10.0 through 8.11.5, and 8.12.0 beta, allows local users to modify process memory and possibly gain privileges via a large value in the 'category' part of debugger (-d) command line arguments, which is interpreted as a negative number.

Buffer overflow in man program in various distributions of Linux allows local user to execute arbitrary code as group man via a long -S option.

Red Hat Linux 7.1 sets insecure permissions on swap files created during installation, which can allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges by reading sensitive information from the swap file, such as passwords.

Netscape Communicator before 4.77 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Javascript via a GIF image whose comment contains the Javascript.

The SSH protocols 1 and 2 (aka SSH-2) as implemented in OpenSSH and other packages have various weaknesses which can allow a remote attacker to obtain the following information via sniffing: (1) password lengths or ranges of lengths, which simplifies brute force password guessing, (2) whether RSA or DSA authentication is being used, (3) the number of authorized_keys in RSA authentication, or (4) the lengths of shell commands.

minicom 1.83.1 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via numerous format string attacks.
