POP3Lite before 0.2.4 does not properly quote a . (dot) in an email message, which could allow a remote attacker to append arbitrary text to the end of an email message, which could then be interpreted by various mail clients as valid POP server responses or other input that could cause clients to crash or otherwise behave unexpectedly.

HP LaserJet, and possibly other JetDirect devices, resets the admin password when the device is turned off, which could allow remote attackers to access the device without the password.
The JetAdmin web interface for HP JetDirect does not set a password for the telnet interface when the admin password is changed, which allows remote attackers to gain access to the printer.
GNU locate in findutils 4.1 on Slackware 7.1 and 8.0 allows local users to gain privileges via an old formatted filename database (locatedb) that contains an entry with an out-of-range offset, which causes locate to write to arbitrary process memory.
PHP-Nuke 5.x allows remote attackers to perform arbitrary SQL operations by modifying the "prefix" variable when calling any scripts that do not already define the prefix variable (e.g., by including mainfile.php), such as article.php.
Fetchmail (aka fetchmail-ssl) before 5.8.17 allows a remote malicious (1) IMAP server or (2) POP/POP3 server to overwrite arbitrary memory and possibly gain privileges via a negative index number as part of a response to a LIST request.
Java Plugin 1.4 for JRE 1.3 executes signed applets even if the certificate is expired, which could allow remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via an applet that has been signed by an expired certificate.
Starfish Truesync Desktop 2.0b as used on the REX 5000 PDA uses a small keyspace for device keys and does not impose a delay when an incorrect key is entered, which allows attackers to more quickly guess the key via a brute force attack.
Starfish Truesync Desktop 2.0b as used on the REX 5000 PDA does not encrypt sensitive files and relies solely on its password feature to restrict access, which allows an attacker to read the files using a different application.
Starfish Truesync Desktop 2.0b as used on the REX 5000 PDA uses weak encryption to store the user password in a registry key, which allows attackers who have access to the registry key to decrypt the password and gain privileges.
Cross-site scripting (CSS) vulnerability in gnut Gnutella client before 0.4.27 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script on other clients by sharing a file whose name contains the script tags.
Respondus 1.1.2 for WebCT uses weak encryption to remember usernames and passwords, which allows local users who can read the WEBCT.SVR file to decrypt the passwords and gain additional privileges.

PHProjekt before 2.4a allows remote attackers to perform actions as other PHProjekt users by modifying the ID number in an HTTP request to PHProjekt CGI programs.
