The campas CGI program provided with some NCSA web servers allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands via encoded carriage return characters in the query string, as demonstrated by reading the password file.

IRIX fam service allows an attacker to obtain a list of all files on the server.

Windows NT 4.0 before SP3 allows remote attackers to bypass firewall restrictions or cause a denial of service (crash) by sending improperly fragmented IP packets without the first fragment, which the TCP/IP stack incorrectly reassembles into a valid session.

wu-ftpd 2.4 FTP server does not properly drop privileges when an ABOR (abort file transfer) command is executed during a file transfer, which causes a signal to be handled incorrectly and allows local and possibly remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

The rwho/rwhod service is running, which exposes machine status and user information.

A password for accessing a WWW URL is guessable.

A DNS server allows inverse queries.

A DNS server allows zone transfers.

An X server's access control is disabled (e.g. through an "xhost +" command) and allows anyone to connect to the server.

Denial of service in Qmail through long SMTP commands.

Buffer overflow in FTP Serv-U 2.5 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long (1) CWD or (2) LS (list) command.

Denial of service in RPC portmapper allows attackers to register or unregister RPC services or spoof RPC services using a spoofed source IP address such as 127.0.0.1.

When compiled with the -DALLOW_UPDATES option, bind allows dynamic updates to the DNS server, allowing for malicious modification of DNS records.

NFS allows attackers to read and write any file on the system by specifying a false UID.

wu-ftpd FTP daemon allows any user and password combination.

Windows 95/NT out of band (OOB) data denial of service through NETBIOS port, aka WinNuke.

The Perl fingerd program allows arbitrary command execution from remote users.

The aglimpse CGI program of the Glimpse package allows remote execution of arbitrary commands.

RIP v1 is susceptible to spoofing.

Buffer overflow in wu-ftp from PASV command causes a core dump.

Listening TCP ports are sequentially allocated, allowing spoofing attacks.

ping in Solaris 2.3 through 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a ping request to a multicast address through the loopback interface, e.g. via ping -i.

Buffer overflow in eeprom in Solaris 2.5.1 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in zgv in svgalib 1.2.10 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable.

MajorCool mj_key_cache program allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack.

rsh daemon (rshd) generates different error messages when a valid username is provided versus an invalid name, which allows remote attackers to determine valid users on the system.

Command execution in Sun systems via buffer overflow in the at program.

getcwd() file descriptor leak in FTP.

Denial of service in Windows NT DNS servers by flooding port 53 with too many characters.

Solaris rpcbind listens on a high numbered UDP port, which may not be filtered since the standard port number is 111.

Buffer overflow in bootpd 2.4.3 and earlier via a long boot file location.

Denial of service in IIS using long URLs.

Access violation in LSASS.EXE (LSA/LSARPC) program in Windows NT allows a denial of service.

Denial of service in Qmail by specifying a large number of recipients with the RCPT command.

Buffer overflow in suidperl (sperl), Perl 4.x and 5.x.

Race condition in signal handling routine in ftpd, allowing read/write arbitrary files.

Vulnerability in runtime linker program rld in SGI IRIX 6.x and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via setuid and setgid programs.

Buffer overflow in AIX lquerylv program gives root access to local users.
