Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In March 1999 CVSS score >= 5

The default permissions of /dev/kmem in Linux versions before 2.0.36 allows IP spoofing.

Buffer overflow in IMonitor in IMail 5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long string to port 8181.

The HTTP server in Cisco 7xx series routers 3.2 through 4.2 is enabled by default, which allows remote attackers to change the router's configuration.

OpenSSL and SSLeay allow remote attackers to reuse SSL sessions and bypass access controls.

The Lotus Notes 4.5 client may send a copy of encrypted mail in the clear across the network if the user does not set the "Encrypt Saved Mail" preference.

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.

The byte code verifier component of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) allows remote execution through malicious web pages.

Index Server 2.0 on IIS 4.0 stores physical path information in the ContentIndex\Catalogs subkey of the AllowedPaths registry key, whose permissions allows local and remote users to obtain the physical paths of directories that are being indexed.

The screen saver in Windows NT does not verify that its security context has been changed properly, allowing attackers to run programs with elevated privileges.

The cancel command in Solaris 2.6 (i386) has a buffer overflow that allows local users to obtain root access.

Several startup scripts in SCO OpenServer Enterprise System v 5.0.4p, including S84rpcinit, S95nis, S85tcp, and S89nfs, are vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing a local user to gain root access.

A buffer overflow in the SGI X server allows local users to gain root access through the X server font path.

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

During a reboot after an installation of Linux Slackware 3.6, a remote attacker can obtain root access by logging in to the root account without a password.

MC/ServiceGuard and MC/LockManager in HP-UX allows local users to gain privileges through SAM.

suidperl in Linux Perl does not check the nosuid mount option on file systems, allowing local users to gain root access by placing a setuid script in a mountable file system, e.g. a CD-ROM or floppy disk.

A weak encryption algorithm is used for passwords in SCO TermVision, allowing them to be easily decrypted by a local user.

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.

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.

Denial of service in SMTP applications such as Sendmail, when a remote attacker (e.g. spammer) uses many "RCPT TO" commands in the same connection.

talkback in Netscape 4.5 allows a local user to kill an arbitrary process of another user whose Netscape crashes.

Denial of service of Ascend routers through port 150 (remote administration).

Denial of service in Cisco IOS web server allows attackers to reboot the router using a long URL.

Netmanager Chameleon SMTPd has several buffer overflows that cause a crash.

Microsoft Personal Web Server and FrontPage Personal Web Server in some Windows systems allows a remote attacker to read files on the server by using a nonstandard URL.
