Netbsd : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 1999

NetBSD netstat command allows local users to access kernel memory.

A race condition between the select() and accept() calls in NetBSD TCP servers allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

umapfs allows local users to gain root privileges by changing their uid through a malicious mount_umap program.

In some cases, NetBSD 1.3.3 mount allows local users to execute programs in some file systems that have the "noexec" flag set.

XFree86 startx command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.

XFree86 xfs command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.

Local users can perform a denial of service in NetBSD 1.3.3 and earlier versions by creating an unusual symbolic link with the ln command, triggering a bug in VFS.

The SVR4 /dev/wabi special device file in NetBSD 1.3.3 and earlier allows a local user to read or write arbitrary files on the disk associated with that device.

The BSD profil system call allows a local user to modify the internal data space of a program via profiling and execve.

NetBSD on a multi-homed host allows ARP packets on one network to modify ARP entries on another connected network.

NetBSD allows ARP packets to overwrite static ARP entries.

Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults.

FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by creating a large number of socket pairs using the socketpair function, setting a large buffer size via setsockopt, then writing large buffers.
