modprobe in the modutils 2.3.x package on Linux systems allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

Multiple shell programs on various Unix systems, including (1) tcsh, (2) csh, (3) sh, and (4) bash, follow symlinks when processing << redirects (aka here-documents or in-here documents), which allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.

PHP Apache module 4.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass .htaccess access restrictions via a malformed HTTP request on an unrestricted page that causes PHP to use those access controls on the next page that is requested.

gpm 1.19.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

sdiff 2.7 in the diffutils package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

rdist 6.1.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

getty_ps 2.0.7j allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

useradd program in shadow-utils program may allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

exmh 2.2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the exmhErrorMsg temporary file.

Zope before 2.2.4 does not properly compute local roles, which could allow users to bypass specified access restrictions and gain privileges.

Memory leak in ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a series of USER commands, and possibly SIZE commands if the server has been improperly installed.

privatepw program in wu-ftpd before 2.6.1-6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

inn 2.2.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.

arpwatch 2.1a4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.

squid 2.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.

When using the LD_PRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.

kdesu program in KDE2 (KDE before 2.2.0-6) does not properly verify the owner of a UNIX socket that is used to send a password, which allows local users to steal passwords and gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in sudo earlier than 1.6.3p6 allows local users to gain root privileges.

time server daemon timed allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed packets.

sgml-tools (aka sgmltools) before 1.0.9-15 creates temporary files with insecure permissions, which allows other users to read files that are being processed by sgml-tools.

licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a URL.

Buffer overflow in logging functions of licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header.

Multiple buffer overflows in ePerl before 2.2.14-0.7 allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.
