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.

security flaw

Heap overflow in savestr function in LBNL traceroute 1.4a5 and earlier allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands via the -g option.

Buffer overflow in Solaris x86 mkcookie allows local users to obtain root access.

catman in Solaris 2.7 and 2.8 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the sman_PID temporary file.

Buffer overflow in arp command in Solaris 7 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long -f parameter.

Buffer overflow in exrecover in Solaris 2.6 and earlier possibly allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in ximp40 shared library in Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 allows local users to gain privileges via a long "arg0" (process name) argument.

Buffer overflow in /usr/bin/cu in Solaris 2.8 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges by executing cu with a long program name (arg0).

Buffer overflow in Solaris snmpXdmid SNMP to DMI mapper daemon allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long "indication" event.

pam_ldap authentication module in Solaris 8 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via a NULL password.

Buffer overflow in the line printer daemon (in.lpd) for Solaris 8 and earlier allows local and remote attackers to gain root privileges via a "transfer job" routine.

Buffer overflow in tip in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long HOME environmental variable.

/opt/JSparm/bin/perfmon program in Solaris allows local users to create arbitrary files as root via the Logging File option in the GUI.

FTP server in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local and remote attackers to cause a core dump in the root directory, possibly with world-readable permissions, by providing a valid username with an invalid password followed by a CWD ~ command, which could release sensitive information such as shadowed passwords, or fill the disk partition.

Buffer overflow in Xsun in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long HOME environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in dtsession on Solaris, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges via a long LANG environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in SNMP proxy agent snmpd in Solaris 8 may allow local users to gain root privileges by calling snmpd with a long program name.

Buffer overflow in dtmail in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via the MAIL environment variable.

security flaw

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

Buffer overflow in Solaris chkperm command allows local users to gain root access via a long -n option.
