(1) ipxchk and (2) ipxlink in SGI OS2 IRIX 6.3 does not properly clear the IFS environmental variable before executing system calls, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands.

/usr/sbin/Mail on SGI IRIX 3.3 and 3.3.1 does not properly set the group ID to the group ID of the user who started Mail, which allows local users to read the mail of other users.

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.

rpc.ypupdated (NIS) allows remote users to execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in mailx mail command (aka Mail) on Linux systems allows local users to gain privileges via a long -c (carbon copy) parameter.

SGI MIPSPro compilers C, C++, F77 and F90 generate temporary files in /tmp with predictable file names, which could allow local users to insert malicious contents into these files as they are being compiled by another user.

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.

IRIX login program with a nonzero LOCKOUT parameter allows creation or damage to files.
