Format string vulnerability in the printer capability for IBM AIX .3, 5.1, and 5.2 allows local users to gain printq or root privileges.

RIP v1 is susceptible to spoofing.

Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.

Unknown vulnerability in ftpd in IBM AIX 5.2, when configured to use Kerberos 5 for authentication, allows remote attackers to gain privileges via unknown attack vectors.

The secldapclntd daemon in AIX 4.3, 5.1 and 5.2 uses an Internet socket when communicating with the loadmodule, which allows remote attackers to directly connect to the daemon and conduct unauthorized activities.

lquerypv in AIX 4.1 and 4.2 allows local users to read arbitrary files by specifying the file in the -h command line parameter.

The dtterm terminal emulator allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

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.

Vulnerability in ptrace in AIX 4.3 allows local users to gain privileges by attaching to a setgid program.

Buffer overflow in AIX and Solaris "gethostbyname" library call allows root access through corrupt DNS host names.

Buffer overflow in statd allows root privileges.

Unknown vulnerability in AIX before 4.0 with unknown attack vectors and unknown impact, aka "security issue," as fixed by APAR IY28225.

Unknown vulnerability in the login program on AIX before 4.0 could allow remote users to specify 100 or more environment variables when logging on, which exceeds the length of a certain string, possibly triggering a buffer overflow.

inetd in AIX 4.1.5 dynamically assigns a port N when starting ttdbserver (ToolTalk server), but also inadvertently listens on port N-1 without passing control to ttdbserver, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large number of connections to port N-1, which are not properly closed by inetd.

Buffer overflow in the diagnostics library in AIX allows local users to "cause data and instructions to be overwritten" via a long DIAGNOSTICS environment variable.

Buffer overflow in lscfg of unknown versions of AIX has unknown impact.

named-xfer in AIX 4.1.5 and 4.2.1 allows members of the system group to overwrite system files to gain root access via the -f parameter and a malformed zone file.

Buffer overflow in syslog utility allows local or remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in certain RPC routines in IBM AIX 4.3 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to a "variable data type."

Buffer overflow in the file_comp function in rcp for IBM AIX 4.3.x and 5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
