periodic in FreeBSD 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

FreeBSD seyon allows local users to gain privileges by providing a malicious program in the -emulator argument.

The implementation of SYN cookies (syncookies) in FreeBSD 4.5 through 5.0-RELEASE-p3 uses only 32-bit internal keys when generating syncookies, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute force ISN guessing attacks and spoof legitimate traffic.

ISC BIND 8.3.x before 8.3.7, and 8.4.x before 8.4.3, allows remote attackers to poison the cache via a malicious name server that returns negative responses with a large TTL (time-to-live) value.

Multiple buffer overflows in eject on FreeBSD and possibly other OSes allows local users to gain root privileges.

The arplookup function in FreeBSD 5.1 and earlier, Mac OS X before 10.2.8, and possibly other BSD-based systems, allows remote attackers on a local subnet to cause a denial of service (resource starvation and panic) via a flood of spoofed ARP requests.

security flaw

The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.

Buffer overflows in brouted in FreeBSD and possibly other OSes allows local users to gain root privileges via long command line arguments.

FreeBSD seyon allows users to gain privileges via a modified PATH variable for finding the xterm and seyon-emu commands.

The suidperl and sperl program do not give up root privileges when changing UIDs back to the original users, allowing root access.

TCP RST denial of service in FreeBSD.

Buffer overflow in lpr, as used in BSD-based systems including Linux, allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root via a long -C (classification) command line option.

security flaw

The DNS map code in Sendmail 8.12.8 and earlier, when using the "enhdnsbl" feature, does not properly initialize certain data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) via an invalid DNS response that causes Sendmail to free incorrect data.

security flaw

Off-by-one error in the fb_realpath() function, as derived from the realpath function in BSD, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated in wu-ftpd 2.5.0 through 2.6.2 via commands that cause pathnames of length MAXPATHLEN+1 to trigger a buffer overflow, including (1) STOR, (2) RETR, (3) APPE, (4) DELE, (5) MKD, (6) RMD, (7) STOU, or (8) RNTO.

Buffer overflow in the Linux binary compatibility module in FreeBSD 3.x through 5.x allows local users to gain root privileges via long filenames in the linux shadow file system.

Buffer overflow in the lprm command in the lprold lpr package on SuSE 7.1 through 7.3, OpenBSD 3.2 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain root privileges via long command line arguments such as (1) request ID or (2) user name.

security flaw

ssl3_get_record in s3_pkt.c for OpenSSL before 0.9.7a and 0.9.6 before 0.9.6i does not perform a MAC computation if an incorrect block cipher padding is used, which causes an information leak (timing discrepancy) that may make it easier to launch cryptographic attacks that rely on distinguishing between padding and MAC verification errors, possibly leading to extraction of the original plaintext, aka the "Vaudenay timing attack."

FreeBSD 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x allows local users to cause a denial of service by executing a program with a malformed ELF image header.

Buffer overflow in bootpd on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux systems via a malformed header type.

security flaw

Integer overflow in the xdrmem_getbytes() function, and possibly other functions, of XDR (external data representation) libraries derived from SunRPC, including libnsl, libc, glibc, and dietlibc, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain integer values in length fields, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-0391.
