RSH service utility RSHSVC in Windows NT 3.5 through 4.0 does not properly restrict access as specified in the .Rhosts file when a user comes from an authorized host, which could allow unauthorized users to access the service by logging in from an authorized host.
GINA in Windows NT 4.0 allows attackers with physical access to display a portion of the clipboard of the user who has locked the workstation by pasting (CTRL-V) the contents into the username prompt.
Perl 5.004_04 and earlier follows symbolic links when running with the -e option, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/perl-eaXXXXX file.
NetWare NFS mode 1 and 2 implements the "Read Only" flag in Unix by changing the ownership of a file to root, which allows local users to gain root privileges by creating a setuid program and setting it to "Read Only," which NetWare-NFS changes to a setuid root program.
DNS allows remote attackers to use DNS name servers as traffic amplifiers via a UDP DNS query with a spoofed source address, which produces more traffic to the victim than was sent by the attacker.
Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via an illegal kernel mode address to the functions (1) GetThreadContext or (2) SetThreadContext.
Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by running a program that creates a large number of locks on a file, which exhausts the NonPagedPool.
Win32k.sys in Windows NT 4.0 before SP2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by calling certain WIN32K functions with incorrect parameters.
Windows NT 4.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service via a user mode application that closes a handle that was opened in kernel mode, which causes a crash when the kernel attempts to close the handle.
When the Ntconfig.pol file is used on a server whose name is longer than 13 characters, Windows NT does not properly enforce policies for global groups, which could allow users to bypass restrictions that were intended by those policies.
When an administrator in Windows NT or Windows 2000 changes a user policy, the policy is not properly updated if the local ntconfig.pol is not writable by the user, which could allow local users to bypass restrictions that would otherwise be enforced by the policy, possibly by changing the policy file to be read-only.
BMC Patrol component, when installed with Compaq Insight Management Agent 4.23 and earlier, or Management Agents for Servers 4.40 and earlier, creates a PFCUser account with a default password and potentially dangerous privileges.
Vulnerability when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled in Linux 2.2.10 and earlier with ipchains, or FreeBSD 3.2 with ipfw, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a ping -R (record route) command.
snmpd server in cmu-snmp SNMP package before 3.3-1 in Red Hat Linux 4.0 is configured to allow remote attackers to read and write sensitive information.
Multiple buffer overflows in filter command in Elm 2.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) long From: headers, (2) long Reply-To: headers, or (3) via a long -f (filterfile) command line argument.
automatic download option in ncftp 2.4.2 FTP client in Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the names of files that are to be downloaded.
gzexe in the gzip package on Red Hat Linux 5.0 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
netcfg 2.16-1 in Red Hat Linux 4.2 allows the Ethernet interface to be controlled by users on reboot when an option is set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by shutting down the interface.
The snprintf function in the db library 1.85.4 ignores the size parameter, which could allow attackers to exploit buffer overflows that would be prevented by a properly implemented snprintf.
VAXstations running Open VMS 5.3 through 5.5-2 with VMS DECwindows or MOTIF do not properly disable access to user accounts that exceed the break-in limit threshold for failed login attempts, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.
Windows NT 4.0 SP4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the symbolic link table in the \?? object folder using a different case letter (upper or lower) to point to a different device.
Vulnerabilities in DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS before 5.8 on DEC Alpha AXP and VAX/VMS systems allow local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.
Office Shortcut Bar (OSB) in Windows 3.51 enables backup and restore permissions, which are inherited by programs such as File Manager that are started from the Shortcut Bar, which could allow local users to read folders for which they do not have permission.
mod_proxy in Apache 1.2.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed FTP commands, which causes Apache to dump core.
Buffer overflow in nftp FTP client version 1.40 allows remote malicious FTP servers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long response string.
An interaction between the AS/400 shared folders feature and Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 and earlier allows users to view each other's folders when the users share the same Local APPC LU.
Microsoft Office 98, Macintosh Edition, does not properly initialize the disk space used by Office 98 files and effectively inserts data from previously deleted files into the Office file, which could allow attackers to obtain sensitive information.
Direct Mailer feature in Microsoft Site Server 3.0 saves user domain names and passwords in plaintext in the TMLBQueue network share, which has insecure default permissions, allowing remote attackers to read the passwords and gain privileges.
IIS 4.0 does not properly restrict access for the initial session request from a user's IP address if the address does not resolve to a DNS domain, aka the "Domain Resolution" vulnerability.
