Buffer overflow in bash 2.0.0, 1.4.17, and other versions allows local attackers to gain privileges by creating an extremely large directory name, which is inserted into the password prompt via the \w option in the PS1 environmental variable when another user changes into that directory.
Buffer overflow in web administration feature of Kolban Webcam32 4.8.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long URL.
Cisco PIX firewall manager (PFM) on Windows NT allows attackers to connect to port 8080 on the PFM server and retrieve any file whose name and location is known.
Buffer overflow in mscreen on SCO OpenServer 5.0 and SCO UNIX 3.2v4 allows a local user to gain root access via (1) a long TERM environmental variable and (2) a long entry in the .mscreenrc file.
Format string vulnerability in AnswerBook2 (AB2) web server dwhttpd 3.1a4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary commands via encoded % characters in an HTTP request, which is improperly logged.
AnswerBook2 (AB2) web server dwhttpd 3.1a4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via an HTTP POST request with a large content-length.
Attackers can crash a Cisco IOS router or device, provided they can get to an interactive prompt (such as a login). This applies to some IOS 9.x, 10.x, and 11.x releases.
Apache WWW server 1.3.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a large number of MIME headers with the same name, aka the "sioux" vulnerability.
The WINS server in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 before SP4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process termination) via invalid UDP frames to port 137 (NETBIOS Name Service), as demonstrated via a flood of random packets.
Vulnerability in Predictive on HP-UX 11.0 and earlier, and MPE/iX 5.5 and earlier, allows attackers to compromise data transfer for Predictive messages (using e-mail or modem) between customer and Response Center Predictive systems.
Eudora and Eudora Light before 3.05 allows remote attackers to cause a crash and corrupt the user's mailbox via an e-mail message with certain dates, such as (1) dates before 1970, which cause a Divide By Zero error, or (2) dates that are 100 years after the current date, which causes a segmentation fault.
dumpreg in Red Hat Linux 5.1 opens /dev/mem with O_RDWR access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by redirecting fd 1 (stdout) to the kernel.
Internet Explorer 4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via HTML code that contains a long CLASSID parameter in an OBJECT tag.
Buffer overflow in ping CGI program in Xylogics Annex terminal service allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long query parameter.
NBase switches NH208 and NH215 run a TFTP server which allows remote attackers to send software updates to modify the switch or cause a denial of service (crash) by guessing the target filenames, which have default names.
NBase switches NH2012, NH2012R, NH2015, and NH2048 have a back door password that cannot be disabled, which allows remote attackers to modify the switch's configuration.
Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.
By design, the "established" command on the Cisco PIX firewall allows connections from one host to arbitrary ports of a target host if an alternative conduit has already been allowed, which can cause administrators to configure less restrictive access controls than intended if they do not understand this functionality.
cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed characters (such as those from password prompts) via the L2/AGAIN key.
login in Slackware Linux 3.2 through 3.5 does not properly check for an error when the /etc/group file is missing, which prevents it from dropping privileges, causing it to assign root privileges to any local user who logs on to the server.
KMail in KDE 1.0 provides a PGP passphrase as a command line argument to other programs, which could allow local users to obtain the passphrase and compromise the PGP keys of other users by viewing the arguments via programs that list process information, such as ps.
