The default configuration of xterm on Debian GNU/Linux sid and possibly Ubuntu enables the allowWindowOps resource, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code or have unspecified other impact via escape sequences.

maps/Info/combine.pl in CrossFire crossfire-maps 1.11.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

qemu-make-debian-root in qemu 0.9.1-5 on Debian GNU/Linux allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files and directories.

sshd in OpenSSH 4 on Debian GNU/Linux, and the 20070303 OpenSSH snapshot, allows remote authenticated users to obtain access to arbitrary SELinux roles by appending a :/ (colon slash) sequence, followed by the role name, to the username.

w_editeur.c in XWine 1.0.1 for Debian GNU/Linux allows local users to overwrite or print arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the temporaire temporary file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

w_export.c in XWine 1.0.1 on Debian GNU/Linux sets insecure permissions (0666) for /etc/wine/config, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service by modifying the file.

The libdspam7-drv-mysql cron job in Debian GNU/Linux includes the MySQL dspam database password in a command line argument, which might allow local users to read the password by listing the process and its arguments.

typespeed before 0.6.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified network behavior that triggers a divide-by-zero error.

Send ICMP Nasty Garbage (sing) on Debian GNU/Linux allows local users to append to arbitrary files and gain privileges via the -L (output log file) option. NOTE: this issue is only a vulnerability in limited environments, since sing is not installed setuid, and the administrator would need to override a non-setuid default during installation.

The hack-local-variables function in Emacs before 22.2, when enable-local-variables is set to :safe, does not properly search lists of unsafe or risky variables, which might allow user-assisted attackers to bypass intended restrictions and modify critical program variables via a file containing a Local variables declaration.

The default configuration for twiki 4.1.2 on Debian GNU/Linux, and possibly other operating systems, specifies the work area directory (cfg{RCS}{WorkAreaDir}) under the web document root, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information when .htaccess restrictions are not applied.

xterm, including 192-7.el4 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 208-3.1 in Debian GNU/Linux, sets the wrong group ownership of tty devices, which allows local users to write data to other users' terminals.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in (1) CCE_pinyin.c and (2) xl_pinyin.c in ImmModules/cce/ in unicon-imc2 3.0.4, as used by zhcon and other applications, allow local users to gain privileges via a long HOME environment variable.

znew in the gzip package allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Buffer overflow in (1) nethack 3.4.0 and earlier, and (2) falconseye 1.9.3 and earlier, which is based on nethack, allows local users to gain privileges via a long -s command line option.

Unknown vulnerability in apcupsd before 3.8.6, and 3.10.x before 3.10.5, allows remote attackers to gain root privileges, possibly via format strings in a request to a slave server.

Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.1.14 through 1.1.17 does not properly check the return values of various file and socket operations, which could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by causing file descriptors to be assigned and not released, as demonstrated by fanta.

Memory leak in ypdb_open in yp_db.c for ypserv before 2.5 in the NIS package 3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of requests for a map that does not exist.

The shared memory scoreboard in the HTTP daemon for Apache 1.3.x before 1.3.27 allows any user running as the Apache UID to send a SIGUSR1 signal to any process as root, resulting in a denial of service (process kill) or possibly other behaviors that would not normally be allowed, by modifying the parent[].pid and parent[].last_rtime segments in the scoreboard.

Apache 1.3 through 1.3.24, and Apache 2.0 through 2.0.36, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a chunk-encoded HTTP request that causes Apache to use an incorrect size.
