IRIX soundplayer program allows local users to gain privileges by including shell metacharacters in a .wav file, which is executed via the midikeys program.

SGI InfoSearch CGI program infosrch.cgi allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters.

Vulnerability in SGI IRIX objectserver daemon allows remote attackers to create user accounts.

The default installation of IRIX Performance Copilot allows remote attackers to access sensitive system information via the pmcd daemon.

IRIX crontab creates temporary files with predictable file names and with the umask of the user, which could allow local users to modify another user's crontab file as it is being edited.

Telnetd telnet server in IRIX 5.2 through 6.1 does not properly cleans user-injected format strings, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long RLD variable in the IAC-SB-TELOPT_ENVIRON request.

Buffer overflow in IRIX libgl.so library allows local users to gain root privileges via a long HOME variable to programs such as (1) gmemusage and (2) gr_osview.

Buffer overflow in lpstat in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long -n option.

Buffer overflow in dmplay in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line option.

Buffer overflow in gr_osview in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain privileges via a long -D option.

The truncate function in IRIX 6.x does not properly check for privileges when the file is in the xfs file system, which allows local users to delete the contents of arbitrary files.

inpview in InPerson in SGI IRIX 5.3 through IRIX 6.5.10 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on the .ilmpAAA temporary file.

security flaw

Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.

The presence of the Distributed GL Daemon (dgld) service on port 5232 on SGI IRIX systems allows remote attackers to identify the target host as an SGI system.

Performance Metrics Collector Daemon (PMCD) in Performance Copilot in IRIX 6.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via an extremely long string to the PMCD port.

security flaw

The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems allows local users to gain root privileges by causing sendmail to execute with arbitrary command line arguments, as demonstrated using the -C option to specify a configuration file.

security flaw

The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems authenticates by comparing the reverse-resolved hostname of the local machine to the hostname of the print server as returned by gethostname, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access controls by modifying the DNS for the attacking IP.

Buffer overflows in BSD-based FTP servers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long pattern string containing a {} sequence, as seen in (1) g_opendir, (2) g_lstat, (3) g_stat, and (4) the glob0 buffer as used in the glob functions glob2 and glob3.

Buffer overflow in FTP server in HPUX 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by creating a long pathname and calling the STAT command, which uses glob to generate long strings.

Heap overflow in FTP daemon in Solaris 8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by creating a long pathname and calling the LIST command, which uses glob to generate long strings.
