Vulnerability in digest in AIX 4.3 allows printq users to gain root privileges by creating and/or modifing any file on the system.

AIX 4.3.3 through AIX 5.1, when direct remote login is disabled, displays a different message if the password is correct, which allows remote attackers to guess the password via brute force methods.

Some implementations of rlogin allow root access if given a -froot parameter.

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

BEA WebLogic Express and WebLogic Server 7.0 and 7.0.0.1, stores passwords in plaintext when a keystore is used to store a private key or trust certificate authorities, which allows local users to gain access.

Format string vulnerability in enq command in AIX 4.3, 5.1, and 5.2 allows local users with rintq group privileges to gain privileges via unknown attack vectors.

Vulnerability in AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 and 9.05 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using a socket to connect to a port on the localhost, calling shutdown to clear the socket, then using the same socket to connect to a different port on localhost.

Execute commands as root via buffer overflow in Tooltalk database server (rpc.ttdbserverd).

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.

Format string vulnerability in tsm for the bos.rte.security fileset on AIX 5.2 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via login, and local users to gain privileges via login, su, or passwd, with a username that contains format string specifiers.

snap command in AIX before 4.3.2 creates the /tmp/ibmsupt directory with world-readable permissions and does not remove or clear the directory when snap -a is executed, which could allow local users to access the shadowed password file by creating /tmp/ibmsupt/general/passwd before root runs snap -a.

Format string vulnerability in lpd in the bos.rte.printers fileset for AIX 4.3 through 5.2, with debug enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or gain root privileges.

The getipnodebyname() API in AIX 5.1 and 5.2 does not properly close sockets, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).

Buffer overflow in ping in AIX 4.2 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in AIX dtterm program for the CDE.

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.

security flaw

A "potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing" for Sendmail 8.12.9, when using the nonstandard rulesets (1) recipient (2), final, or (3) mailer-specific envelope recipients, has unknown consequences.

The default configuration for UUCP in AIX before 3.2 allows local users to gain root privileges.

IBM AIX 5.2 and earlier distributes Sendmail with a configuration file (sendmail.cf) with the (1) promiscuous_relay, (2) accept_unresolvable_domains, and (3) accept_unqualified_senders features enabled, which allows Sendmail to be used as an open mail relay for sending spam e-mail.

FTP installation script anon.ftp in AIX insecurely configures anonymous FTP, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
