Format string vulnerability in startprinting() function of printjob.c in BSD-based lpr lpd package may allow local users to gain privileges via an improper syslog call that uses format strings from the checkremote() call.

Buffer overflow in BSD line printer daemon (in.lpd or lpd) in various BSD-based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an incomplete print job followed by a request to display the printer queue.

NetBSD 1.5 and earlier and FreeBSD 4.3 and earlier allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a large number of IP fragments to the machine, exhausting the mbuf pool.

The (1) dump and (2) dump_lfs commands in NetBSD 1.4.x through 1.5.1 do not properly drop privileges, which could allow local users to gain privileges via the RCMD_CMD environment variable.

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.

sendmsg function in NetBSD 1.3 through 1.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel trap or panic) via a msghdr structure with a large msg_controllen length.

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.

The i386_set_ldt system call in NetBSD 1.5 and earlier, and OpenBSD 2.8 and earlier, when the USER_LDT kernel option is enabled, does not validate a call gate target, which allows local users to gain root privileges by creating a segment call gate in the Local Descriptor Table (LDT) with a target that specifies an arbitrary kernel address.

One-byte buffer overflow in replydirname function in BSD-based ftpd allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Format string vulnerability in pw_error function in BSD libutil library allows local users to gain root privileges via a malformed password in commands such as chpass or passwd.

Format string vulnerabilities in eeprom program in OpenBSD, NetBSD, and possibly other operating systems allows local attackers to gain root privileges.

FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by creating a large number of socket pairs using the socketpair function, setting a large buffer size via setsockopt, then writing large buffers.

The BSD profil system call allows a local user to modify the internal data space of a program via profiling and execve.

Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults.
