Format string vulnerability in Wireshark 0.99.8 through 1.0.5 on non-Windows platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via format string specifiers in the HOME environment variable.

The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.

The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) implementation in (1) FreeBSD 6.3 through 7.1, (2) OpenBSD 4.2 and 4.3, (3) NetBSD, (4) Force10 FTOS before E7.7.1.1, (5) Juniper JUNOS, and (6) Wind River VxWorks 5.x through 6.4 does not validate the origin of Neighbor Discovery messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of connectivity) or read private network traffic via a spoofed message that modifies the Forward Information Base (FIB).

The ipsec4_get_ulp function in the kernel in NetBSD 2.0 through 3.1 and NetBSD-current before 20071028, when the fast_ipsec subsystem is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass the IPsec policy by sending packets from a source machine with a different endianness than the destination machine, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-0905.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the command_Expand_Interpret function in command.c in ppp (aka user-ppp), as distributed in FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0, OpenBSD 4.1 and 4.2, and the net/userppp package for NetBSD, allows local users to gain privileges via long commands containing "~" characters.

A certain pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) algorithm that uses XOR and 3-bit random hops (aka "Algorithm X3"), as used in OpenBSD 2.8 through 4.2, allows remote attackers to guess sensitive values such as DNS transaction IDs by observing a sequence of previously generated values. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged for attacks such as DNS cache poisoning against OpenBSD's modification of BIND.

A certain pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) algorithm that uses XOR and 2-bit random hops (aka "Algorithm X2"), as used in OpenBSD 2.6 through 3.4, Mac OS X 10 through 10.5.1, FreeBSD 4.4 through 7.0, and DragonFlyBSD 1.0 through 1.10.1, allows remote attackers to guess sensitive values such as IP fragmentation IDs by observing a sequence of previously generated values. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged for attacks such as injection into TCP packets and OS fingerprinting.

A certain pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) algorithm that uses ADD with 0 random hops (aka "Algorithm A0"), as used in OpenBSD 3.5 through 4.2 and NetBSD 1.6.2 through 4.0, allows remote attackers to guess sensitive values such as (1) DNS transaction IDs or (2) IP fragmentation IDs by observing a sequence of previously generated values. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged for attacks such as DNS cache poisoning, injection into TCP packets, and OS fingerprinting.

Multiple race conditions in the (1) Sudo monitor mode and (2) Sysjail policies in Systrace on NetBSD and OpenBSD allow local users to defeat system call interposition, and consequently bypass access control policy and auditing.

Integer overflow in the ktruser function in NetBSD-current before 20061022, NetBSD 3 and 3-0 before 20061024, and NetBSD 2 before 20070209, when the kernel is built with the COMPAT_FREEBSD or COMPAT_DARWIN option, allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges.

OpenBSD and NetBSD permit usermode code to kill the display server and write to the X.Org /dev/xf86 device, which allows local users with root privileges to reduce securelevel by replacing the System Management Mode (SMM) handler via a write to an SMRAM address within /dev/xf86 (aka the video card memory-mapped I/O range), and then launching the new handler via a System Management Interrupt (SMI), as demonstrated by a write to Programmed I/O port 0xB2.

Integer overflow in banner/banner.c in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD might allow local users to modify memory via a long banner. NOTE: CVE and multiple third parties dispute this issue. Since banner is not setuid, an exploit would not cross privilege boundaries in normal operations. This issue is not a vulnerability

ld.so in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and possibly other BSD distributions does not remove certain harmful environment variables, which allows local users to gain privileges by passing certain environment variables to loading processes. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a third party, stating that it is the responsibility of the application to properly sanitize the environment

Integer signedness error in the fw_ioctl (FW_IOCTL) function in the FireWire (IEEE-1394) drivers (dev/firewire/fwdev.c) in various BSD kernels, including DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD 5.5, MidnightBSD 0.1-CURRENT before 20061115, NetBSD-current before 20061116, NetBSD-4 before 20061203, and TrustedBSD, allows local users to read arbitrary memory contents via certain negative values of crom_buf->len in an FW_GCROM command. NOTE: this issue has been labeled as an integer overflow, but it is more like an integer signedness error.

The Xsession script, as used by X Display Manager (xdm) in NetBSD before 20060212, X.Org before 20060317, and Solaris 8 through 10 before 20061006, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, or read another user's Xsession errors file, via a symlink attack on a /tmp/xses-$USER file.

Multiple buffer overflows in NetBSD kernel may allow local users to execute arbitrary code and gain privileges.

The TCP implementation in various BSD operating systems (tcp_input.c) does not properly block connections to broadcast addresses, which could allow remote attackers to bypass intended filters via packets with a unicast link layer address and an IP broadcast address.

A race condition between the select() and accept() calls in NetBSD TCP servers allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

NetBSD netstat command allows local users to access kernel memory.

FreeBSD mmap function allows users to modify append-only or immutable files.
