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.

suidperl in Linux Perl does not check the nosuid mount option on file systems, allowing local users to gain root access by placing a setuid script in a mountable file system, e.g. a CD-ROM or floppy disk.

A default configuration of in.identd in SuSE Linux waits 120 seconds between requests, allowing a remote attacker to conduct a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in Vixie Cron on Red Hat systems via the MAILTO environmental variable.

security flaw

Denial of service in Linux 2.2.x kernels via malformed ICMP packets containing unusual types, codes, and IP header lengths.

security flaw

Denial of service in Linux syslogd via a large number of connections.

Buffer overflow in sccw allows local users to gain root access via the HOME environmental variable.

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.

xtvscreen in SuSE Linux 6.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the pic000.pnm file.

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

security flaw

gpm-root in the gpm package does not properly drop privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by starting a utility from gpm-root.

Linux kreatecd trusts a user-supplied path that is used to find the cdrecord program, allowing local users to gain root privileges.

SuSE Linux IMAP server allows remote attackers to bypass IMAP authentication and gain privileges.

aaa_base in SuSE Linux 6.3, and cron.daily in earlier versions, allow local users to delete arbitrary files by creating files whose names include spaces, which are then incorrectly interpreted by aaa_base when it deletes expired files from the /tmp directory.

Buffer overflow in Gnomelib in SuSE Linux 6.3 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via the DISPLAY environmental variable.

pg and pb in SuSE pbpg 1.x package allows an attacker to read arbitrary files.

The PPP wvdial.lxdialog script in wvdial 1.4 and earlier creates a .config file with world readable permissions, which allows a local attacker in the dialout group to access login and password information.

Buffer overflows in Linux cdwtools 093 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges.

Linux cdwtools 093 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via the /tmp directory.

The SuSE aaa_base package installs some system accounts with home directories set to /tmp, which allows local users to gain privileges to those accounts by creating standard user startup scripts such as profiles.
