The permissions for the /dev/audio device on Solaris 2.2 and earlier, and SunOS 4.1.x, allow any local user to read from the device, which could be used by an attacker to monitor conversations happening near a machine that has a microphone.
/usr/5bin/su in SunOS 4.1.3 and earlier uses a search path that includes the current working directory (.), which allows local users to gain privileges via Trojan horse programs.
SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2, and other SCO products, installs the home directories (1) /tmp for the dos user, and (2) /usr/tmp for the asg user, which allows other users to gain access to those accounts since /tmp and /usr/tmp are world-writable.
LOGIN.EXE program in Novell Netware 4.0 and 4.01 temporarily writes user name and password information to disk, which could allow local users to gain privileges.
Vulnerability in passwd in SCO UNIX 4.0 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service by preventing users from being able to log into the system.
Cisco routers 9.17 and earlier allow remote attackers to bypass security restrictions via certain IP source routed packets that should normally be denied using the "no ip source-route" command.
NFS on SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 ignores the high order 16 bits in a 32 bit UID, which allows a local user to gain root access if the lower 16 bits are set to 0, as fixed by the NFS jumbo patch upgrade.
Vulnerability in Cisco routers versions 8.2 through 9.1 allows remote attackers to bypass access control lists when extended IP access lists are used on certain interfaces, the IP route cache is enabled, and the access list uses the "established" keyword.
Cisco IOS 9.1 and earlier does not properly handle extended IP access lists when the IP route cache is enabled and the "established" keyword is set, which could allow attackers to bypass filters.
Vulnerability in integer multiplication emulation code on SPARC architectures for SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 allows local users to gain root access or cause a denial of service (crash).
The portmapper may act as a proxy and redirect service requests from an attacker, making the request appear to come from the local host, possibly bypassing authentication that would otherwise have taken place. For example, NFS file systems could be mounted through the portmapper despite export restrictions.
SunOS 4.1.2 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via "LD_*" environmental variables to certain dynamically linked setuid or setgid programs such as (1) login, (2) su, or (3) sendmail, that change the real and effective user ids to the same user.
Vulnerability in crp in Hewlett Packard Apollo Domain OS SR10 through SR10.3 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via insecure system calls, (1) pad_$dm_cmd and (2) pad_$def_pfk().
rdist in various UNIX systems uses popen to execute sendmail, which allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable.
The default configuration of NCSA Telnet package for Macintosh and PC enables FTP, even though it does not include an "ftp=yes" line, which allows remote attackers to read and modify arbitrary files.
rpc.pwdauthd in SunOS 4.1.1 and earlier does not properly prevent remote access to the daemon, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive system information.
TIOCCONS in SunOS 4.1.1 does not properly check the permissions of a user who tries to redirect console output and input, which could allow a local user to gain privileges.
/usr/sbin/Mail on SGI IRIX 3.3 and 3.3.1 does not properly set the group ID to the group ID of the user who started Mail, which allows local users to read the mail of other users.
