Buffer overflow in rpc.yppasswdd (yppasswd server) in Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8 allows remote attackers to gain root access via a long username.

Buffer overflow in login in various System V based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a large number of arguments through services such as telnet and rlogin.

ns6install installation script for Netscape 6.01 on Solaris, and other versions including 6.2.1 beta, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in whodo in Solaris SunOS 5.5.1 through 5.8 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) SOR or (2) CFIME environment variable.

The Basic Security Module (BSM) for Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, and 8 does not log anonymous FTP access, which allows remote attackers to hide their activities, possibly when certain BSM audit files are not present under the FTP root.

The finger daemon (in.fingerd) in Sun Solaris 2.5 through 8 and SunOS 5.5 through 5.8 allows remote attackers to list all accounts on a host by typing finger 'a b c d e f g h'@host.

pt_chmod in Solaris 8 does not call fdetach to reset terminal privileges when users log out of terminals, which allows local users to write to other users' terminals by modifying the ACL of a TTY.

Buffer overflow in the LDAP naming services library (libsldap) in Sun Solaris 8 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long LDAP_OPTIONS environment variable to a privileged program that uses libsldap.

Heap-based buffer overflow in cfsd_calloc function of Solaris cachefsd allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a request with a long directory and cache name.

Buffer overflow in the fscache_setup function of cachefsd in Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long mount argument.

cachefsd in Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid procedure call in an RPC request.

Buffer overflow in admintool in Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long media installation path.

Buffer overflow in admintool in Solaris 2.5 through 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via long arguments to (1) the -d command line option, or (2) the PRODVERS argument in the .cdtoc file.

Buffer overflow in Low BandWidth X proxy (lbxproxy) in Solaris 8 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long display command line option.

Buffer overflow in Xsun on Solaris 2.6 through 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long -co (color database) command line argument.

security flaw

Integer overflow in xdr_array function in RPC servers for operating systems that use libc, glibc, or other code based on SunRPC including dietlibc, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by passing a large number of arguments to xdr_array through RPC services such as rpc.cmsd and dmispd.

sscd_suncourier.pl CGI script in the Sun Sunsolve CD pack allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the email address parameter.

FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier, and possibly other BSD-based operating systems, allows local users to write to or read from restricted files by closing the file descriptors 0 (standard input), 1 (standard output), or 2 (standard error), which may then be reused by a called setuid process that intended to perform I/O on normal files.

Format string vulnerability in RPC wall daemon (rpc.rwalld) for Solaris 2.5.1 through 8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format strings in a message that is not properly provided to the syslog function when the wall command cannot be executed.
