nss_ldap 181 to versions before 213, as used in Mandrake Corporate Server and Mandrake 10.0, and other operating systems, does not properly handle a SIGPIPE signal when sending a search request to an LDAP directory server, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crond and other application crash) if they can cause an LDAP server to become unavailable. NOTE: it is not clear whether this attack scenario is sufficient to include this item in CVE.

setpwnam.c in the util-linux package, as included in Red Hat Linux 7.3 and earlier, and other operating systems, does not properly lock a temporary file when modifying /etc/passwd, which may allow local users to gain privileges via a complex race condition that uses an open file descriptor in utility programs such as chfn and chsh.

Off-by-one error in the channel code of OpenSSH 2.0 through 3.0.2 allows local users or remote malicious servers to gain privileges.

The default installation of Apache before 1.3.19 on Mandrake Linux 7.1 through 8.0 and Linux Corporate Server 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to list the directory index of arbitrary web directories.

Vulnerability in (1) pine before 4.33 and (2) the pico editor, included with pine, allows local users local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Squid before 2.3STABLE5 in HTTP accelerator mode does not enable access control lists (ACLs) when the httpd_accel_host and http_accel_with_proxy off settings are used, which allows attackers to bypass the ACLs and conduct unauthorized activities such as port scanning.

slapd in OpenLDAP 1.x before 1.2.12, and 2.x before 2.0.8, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid Basic Encoding Rules (BER) length field.

licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a URL.

Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header.

Buffer overflow in sudo earlier than 1.6.3p6 allows local users to gain root privileges.

When using the LD_PRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.

kdesu program in KDE2 (KDE before 2.2.0-6) does not properly verify the owner of a UNIX socket that is used to send a password, which allows local users to steal passwords and gain privileges.

sdiff 2.7 in the diffutils package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

exmh 2.2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the exmhErrorMsg temporary file.

privatepw program in wu-ftpd before 2.6.1-6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
