Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FlateDecode stream that triggers a null dereference.

Xpdf, as used in products such as gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via streams that end prematurely, as demonstrated using the (1) CCITTFaxDecode and (2) DCTDecode streams, aka "Infinite CPU spins."

The CCITTFaxStream::CCITTFaxStream function in Stream.cc for xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, poppler, teTeX, CUPS, libextractor, and others allows attackers to corrupt the heap via negative or large integers in a CCITTFaxDecode stream, which lead to integer overflows and integer underflows.

Stack-based buffer overflow in (1) backupsh and (2) authsh in SCO Openserver 5.0.7 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable.

Buffer overflow in nwprint in SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in (1) termsh, (2) atcronsh, and (3) auditsh in SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable.

Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.

Multiple buffer overflows in the enable command for SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments.

The NFS mountd service on SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.3, 7.1.4, and 7.0.1, and possibly other versions, when run from inetd, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a series of requests, which causes inetd to launch a separate process for each request.
