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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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