Vulnerabilidades

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

The default installation of Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 includes the CGI program rpm_query, which allows remote attackers to determine what packages are installed on the system.

Buffer overflow in Linux mount and umount allows local users to gain root privileges via a long relative pathname.

Linux gpm program allows local users to cause a denial of service by flooding the /dev/gpmctl device with STREAM sockets.

The IDENT server in Caldera Linux 2.3 creates multiple threads for each IDENT request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

Denial of service in WU-FTPD via the SITE NEWER command, which does not free memory properly.

Buffer overflow in WU-FTPD and related FTP servers allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via macro variables in a message file.

Buffer overflow in Vixie cron allows local users to gain root access via a long MAILTO environment variable in a crontab file.

Vixie Cron on Linux systems allows local users to set parameters of sendmail commands via the MAILTO environmental variable.

The default configuration of kdm in Caldera and Mandrake Linux, and possibly other distributions, allows XDMCP connections from any host, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or bypass additional access restrictions.

The KDE klock program allows local users to unlock a session using malformed input.

A vulnerability in Caldera Open Administration System (COAS) allows the /etc/shadow password file to be made world-readable.

Buffer overflow in procmail before version 3.12 allows remote or local attackers to execute commands via expansions in the procmailrc configuration file.

XFree86 xfs command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.

Buffer overflows in wuarchive ftpd (wu-ftpd) and ProFTPD lead to remote root access, a.k.a. palmetto.

The debug option in Caldera Linux smail allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the -D option for the rmail command.

Samba 1.9.18 inadvertently includes a prototype application, wsmbconf, which is installed with incorrect permissions including the setgid bit, which allows local users to read and write files and possibly gain privileges via bugs in the program.

Buffer overflow in NFS mountd gives root access to remote attackers, mostly in Linux systems.

Inverse query buffer overflow in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases.

A later variation on the Teardrop IP denial of service attack, a.k.a. Teardrop-2.

FTP servers can allow an attacker to connect to arbitrary ports on machines other than the FTP client, aka FTP bounce.

Buffer overflow in run-time linkers (1) ld.so or (2) ld-linux.so for Linux systems allows local users to gain privileges by calling a setuid program with a long program name (argv[0]) and forcing ld.so/ld-linux.so to report an error.

Buffer overflow in University of Washington's implementation of IMAP and POP servers.

MIME conversion buffer overflow in sendmail versions 8.8.3 and 8.8.4.

Command execution via shell metachars in INN daemon (innd) 1.5 using "newgroup" and "rmgroup" control messages, and others.
