The getdbm procedure in ypxfrd allows local users to read arbitrary files, and remote attackers to read databases outside /var/yp, via a directory traversal and symlink attack on the domain and map arguments.

security flaw

Safe.pm 2.0.7 and earlier, when used in Perl 5.8.0 and earlier, may allow attackers to break out of safe compartments in (1) Safe::reval or (2) Safe::rdo using a redefined @_ variable, which is not reset between successive calls.

Buffer overflow in rpc.cmsd in SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long parameter to rtable_create (procedure 21).

security flaw

Directory traversal vulnerability in UnZip 5.50 allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via invalid characters between two . (dot) characters, which are filtered and result in a ".." sequence.

Unknown vulnerability in display of Merge before 5.3.23a in UnixWare 7.1.x allows local users to gain root privileges.

Docview before 1.1-18 in Caldera OpenLinux 3.1.1, SCO Linux 4.0, OpenServer 5.0.7, configures the Apache web server in a way that allows remote attackers to read arbitrary publicly readable files via a certain URL, possibly related to rewrite rules.

SCO Internet Manager (mana) allows local users to execute arbitrary programs by setting the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable to cause menu.mana to run as if it were called from ncsa_httpd, then modifying the PATH environment variable to point to a malicious "hostname" program.

The Script.prototype.freeze/thaw functionality in Mozilla 1.4 and earlier allows attackers to execute native methods by modifying the string used as input to the script.thaw JavaScript function, which is then deserialized and executed.

Buffer overflow in CDE libDtHelp library allows local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) a modified DTHELPUSERSEARCHPATH environment variable and the Help feature, (2) DTSEARCHPATH, or (3) LOGNAME.

Certain scripts in OpenServer before 5.0.6 allow local users to overwrite files and conduct other unauthorized activities via a symlink attack on temporary files.

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.

SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows local users to bypass protections for the "as" address space file for a process ID (PID) by obtaining a procfs file descriptor for the file and calling execve() on a setuid or setgid program, which leaves the descriptor open to the user.

The scosession program in OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 allows local users to gain privileges via crafted strings on the commandline.

MIME buffer overflow in email clients, e.g. Solaris mailtool and Outlook.

security flaw

OpenSSL 0.9.6 before 0.9.6d does not properly handle unknown message types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop), as demonstrated using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool.

security flaw

The SSL/TLS handshaking code in OpenSSL 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c, when using Kerberos ciphersuites, does not properly check the length of Kerberos tickets during a handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that causes an out-of-bounds read.

SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 through 5.0.7 only supports Xauthority style access control when users log in using scologin, which allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to an X session via other X login methods.

Multiple buffer overflows in MMDF on OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7, and possibly other operating systems, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated via the execmail program.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in MMDF on OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7, and possibly other operating systems, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a null dereference.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in MMDF on OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7, and possibly other operating systems, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a core dump.
