The Mail Merge tool in Microsoft Word does not prompt the user before executing Visual Basic (VBA) scripts in an Access database, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

sshd program in the Rapidstream 2.1 Beta VPN appliance has a hard-coded "rsadmin" account with a null password, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via ssh.

The default installation of eTrust Access Control (formerly SeOS) uses a default encryption key, which allows remote attackers to spoof the eTrust administrator and gain privileges.

The sysgen service in Aptis Totalbill does not perform authentication, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges by connecting to the service and specifying the commands to be executed.

The logrotate script for OpenLDAP before 1.2.11 in Conectiva Linux sends an improper signal to the kernel log daemon (klogd) and kills it.

Buffer overflow in University of Minnesota (UMN) gopherd 2.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a DES key generation request (GDESkey) that contains a long ticket value.

Telnetd telnet server in IRIX 5.2 through 6.1 does not properly cleans user-injected format strings, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long RLD variable in the IAC-SB-TELOPT_ENVIRON request.

Buffer overflows in ntop running in web mode allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in SGI Omron WorldView Wnn allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via long JS_OPEN, JS_MKDIR, or JS_FILE_INFO commands.

Format string vulnerability in ftpd in HP-UX 10.20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via format strings in the PASS command.

The administration interface for the dwhttpd web server in Solaris AnswerBook2 allows interface users to remotely execute commands via shell metacharacters.

Auction Weaver CGI script 1.02 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the fromfile parameter.

Auction Weaver CGI script 1.03 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack in the catdir parameter.

BEA WebLogic 5.1.x does not properly restrict access to the PageCompileServlet, which could allow remote attackers to compile and execute Java JHTML code by directly invoking the servlet on any source file.

BEA WebLogic 5.1.x does not properly restrict access to the JSPServlet, which could allow remote attackers to compile and execute Java JSP code by directly invoking the servlet on any source file.

Buffer overflow in BEA WebLogic server proxy plugin allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long URL with a .JSP extension.

Buffer overflow in IBM Net.Data db2www CGI program allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long PATH_INFO environmental variable.

The URLConnection function in MacOS Runtime Java (MRJ) 2.1 and earlier and the Microsoft virtual machine (VM) for MacOS allows a malicious web site operator to connect to arbitrary hosts using a HTTP redirection, in violation of the Java security model.

Buffer overflow in Trivial HTTP (THTTPd) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a long If-Modified-Since header.
