Cfingerd with ALLOW_EXECUTION enabled does not properly drop privileges when it executes a program on behalf of the user, allowing local users to gain root privileges.
FlowPoint DSL router firmware versions prior to 3.0.8 allows a remote attacker to exploit a password recovery feature from the network and conduct brute force password guessing, instead of limiting the feature to the serial console port.
Microsoft Exchange 5.5 allows a remote attacker to relay email (i.e. spam) using encapsulated SMTP addresses, even if the anti-relaying features are enabled.
FTP client in Midnight Commander (mc) before 4.5.11 stores usernames and passwords for visited sites in plaintext in the world-readable history file, which allows other local users to gain privileges.
Default configuration of the search engine in Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to read the source of JHTML files by specifying a search command using the HTML-tocrec-demo1.pat pattern file.
WS_FTP Pro 6.0 uses weak encryption for passwords in its initialization files, which allows remote attackers to easily decrypt the passwords and gain privileges.
Firewall-1 sets a long timeout for connections that begin with ACK or other packets except SYN, allowing an attacker to conduct a denial of service via a large number of connection attempts to unresponsive systems.
Seattle Labs Emurl 2.0, and possibly earlier versions, stores e-mail attachments in a specific directory with scripting enabled, which allows a malicious ASP file attachment to execute when the recipient opens the message.
IPChains in Linux kernels 2.2.10 and earlier does not reassemble IP fragments before checking the header information, which allows a remote attacker to bypass the filtering rules using several fragments with 0 offsets.
The Squid package in Red Hat Linux 5.2 and 6.0, and other distributions, installs cachemgr.cgi in a public web directory, which allows remote attackers to use it as an intermediary to connect to other systems.
GNU fingerd 1.37 does not properly drop privileges before accessing user information, which could allow local users to (1) gain root privileges via a malicious program in the .fingerrc file, or (2) read arbitrary files via symbolic links from .plan, .forward, or .project files.
Buffer overflow in AspUpload.dll in Persits Software AspUpload before 1.4.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long argument in the HTTP request.
The Remote Data Service (RDS) DataFactory component of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) in IIS 3.x and 4.x exposes unsafe methods, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults.
Novell 5 and earlier, when running over IPX with a packet signature level less than 3, allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges by spoofing the MAC address in IPC fragmented packets that make NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) calls.
Joe's Own Editor (joe) 2.8 sets the world-readable permission on its crash-save file, DEADJOE, which could allow local users to read files that were being edited by other users.
BMC PATROL SNMP Agent before 3.2.07 allows local users to create arbitrary world-writeable files as root by specifying the target file as the second argument to the snmpmagt program.
Linux 2.0.37 does not properly encode the Custom segment limit, which allows local users to gain root privileges by accessing and modifying kernel memory.
