rpc.statd in the nfs-utils package in various Linux distributions does not properly cleanse untrusted format strings, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.

Format string vulnerability in logging function of ypbind 3.3, while running in debug mode, leaks file descriptors and allows an attacker to cause a denial of service.

Format string vulnerability in ypbind-mt in SuSE SuSE-6.2, and possibly other Linux operating systems, allows an attacker to gain root privileges.

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

Multiple buffer overflows in ulogd for SUSE Linux 9.3 up to 10.1, and possibly other distributions, have unknown impact and attack vectors related to "improper string length calculations."

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

Buffer overflow in Linux xinetd 2.1.8.9pre11-1 and earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ident response, which is not properly handled by the svc_logprint function.

Format string vulnerability in the default logging callback function _sasl_syslog in common.c in Cyrus SASL library (cyrus-sasl) may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Sdbsearch.cgi in SuSE Linux 6.0-7.2 could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by uploading a keylist.txt file that contains filenames with shell metacharacters, then causing the file to be searched using a .. in the HTTP referer (from the HTTP_REFERER variable) to point to the directory that contains the keylist.txt file.

Buffer overflow in lukemftp FTP client in SuSE 6.4 through 8.0, and possibly other operating systems, allows a malicious FTP server to execute arbitrary code via a long PASV command.

The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.

scan.c for LibXPM may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative bitmap_unit value that leads to a buffer overflow.

xloadimage before 4.1-r2, and xli before 1.17, allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in filenames for compressed images, which are not properly quoted when calling the gunzip command.

Multiple vulnerabilities in xli before 1.17 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "buffer management errors" from certain image properties, some of which may be related to integer overflows in PPM files.

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

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.

Buffer overflow in ReiserFS 3.5.28 in SuSE Linux allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands by via a long directory name.

Format string vulnerability in man in some Linux distributions allows local users to gain privileges via a malformed -l parameter.

Buffer overflow in dsh in dqs 3.2.7 in SuSE Linux 7.0 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges via a long first command line argument.

OpenSSH 3.0.1 and earlier with UseLogin enabled does not properly cleanse critical environment variables such as LD_PRELOAD, which allows local users to gain root privileges.

Vulnerability in screen before 3.9.10, related to a multi-attach error, allows local users to gain root privileges when there is a subdirectory under /tmp/screens/.

Buffer overflow in ncurses 5.0, and the ncurses4 compatibility package as used in Red Hat Linux, allows local users to gain privileges, related to "routines for moving the physical cursor and scrolling."

runlpr in the LPRng package allows the local lp user to gain root privileges via certain command line arguments.
