Suse : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In May 2000

Buffer overflow in the XDMCP parsing code of GNOME gdm, KDE kdm, and wdm allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service via a long FORWARD_QUERY request.

Buffer overflow in fdmount on Linux systems allows local users in the "floppy" group to execute arbitrary commands via a long mountpoint parameter.

The SuSE aaa_base package installs some system accounts with home directories set to /tmp, which allows local users to gain privileges to those accounts by creating standard user startup scripts such as profiles.

aaa_base in SuSE Linux 6.3, and cron.daily in earlier versions, allow local users to delete arbitrary files by creating files whose names include spaces, which are then incorrectly interpreted by aaa_base when it deletes expired files from the /tmp directory.
