Geeklog 1.3 allows remote attackers to hijack user accounts, including the administrator account, by modifying the UID of a user's permanent cookie to the target account.
The installation of Geeklog 1.3 creates an extra group_assignments record which is not properly deleted, which causes the first newly created user to be added to the GroupAdmin and UserAdmin groups, which could provide that user with administrative privileges that were not intended.
The default configuration of BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work) 3.x and possibly version 4 enables user self registration, which could allow remote attackers to upload files and possibly join a user community that was intended to be closed.
config_converters.py in BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work) 3.x and versions before 4.06 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the file name during filename conversion.

Apache for Win32 before 1.3.24, and 2.0.x before 2.0.34-beta, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters (a | pipe character) provided as arguments to batch (.bat) or .cmd scripts, which are sent unfiltered to the shell interpreter, typically cmd.exe.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Bytecode Verifier allows remote attackers to escape the Java sandbox and execute commands via an applet containing an illegal cast operation, as seen in (1) Microsoft VM build 3802 and earlier as used in Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x, (2) Netscape 6.2.1 and earlier, and possibly other implementations that use vulnerable versions of SDK or JDK, aka a variant of the "Virtual Machine Verifier" vulnerability.
Vulnerability in the MIT-SHM extension of the X server on Linux (XFree86) 4.2.1 and earlier allows local users to read and write arbitrary shared memory, possibly to cause a denial of service or gain privileges.
CVS before 1.10.8 does not properly initialize a global variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via the diff capability.
Buffer overflow in admintool in Solaris 2.5 through 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via long arguments to (1) the -d command line option, or (2) the PRODVERS argument in the .cdtoc file.

Buffer overflow in the fscache_setup function of cachefsd in Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long mount argument.
The dbm and shm session cache code in mod_ssl before 2.8.7-1.3.23, and Apache-SSL before 1.3.22+1.46, does not properly initialize memory using the i2d_SSL_SESSION function, which allows remote attackers to use a buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code via a large client certificate that is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), which produces a large serialized session.
rsync, when running in daemon mode, does not properly call setgroups before dropping privileges, which could provide supplemental group privileges to local users, who could then read certain files that would otherwise be disallowed.
Buffer overflow in Windows Shell (used as the Windows Desktop) allows local and possibly remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a custom URL handler that has not been removed for an application that has been improperly uninstalled.
The decompression algorithm in zlib 1.1.3 and earlier, as used in many different utilities and packages, causes inflateEnd to release certain memory more than once (a "double free"), which may allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a block of malformed compression data.
Vulnerability in Java Runtime Environment (JRE) allows remote malicious web sites to hijack or sniff a web client's sessions, when an HTTP proxy is being used, via a Java applet that redirects the session to another server, as seen in (1) Netscape 6.0 through 6.1 and 4.79 and earlier, (2) Microsoft VM build 3802 and earlier as used in Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x, and possibly other implementations that use vulnerable versions of SDK or JDK.
Buffer overflows in (1) php_mime_split in PHP 4.1.0, 4.1.1, and 4.0.6 and earlier, and (2) php3_mime_split in PHP 3.0.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a multipart/form-data HTTP POST request when file_uploads is enabled.
Squid 2.4 STABLE3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (core dump) and possibly execute arbitrary code with an ftp:// URL with a larger number of special characters, which exceed the buffer when Squid URL-escapes the characters.
Squid 2.4 STABLE3 and earlier does not properly disable HTCP, even when "htcp_port 0" is specified in squid.conf, which could allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
