emacs/lisp/progmodes/python.el in Emacs 22.1 and 22.2 imports Python script from the current working directory during editing of a Python file, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file.

The init script for Apache Geronimo on SUSE Linux follows symlinks when performing a chown operation, which might allow local users to obtain access to unspecified files or directories.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in yast2-core in SUSE Linux might allow local users to execute arbitrary code by creating a malicious yast2 module in the current working directory.

The installation script for orarun on SUSE Linux before 20070810 places the oracle user into the disk group, which allows the local oracle user to read or write raw disk partitions.

The default configuration of Centre for Speech Technology Research (CSTR) Festival 1.95 beta (aka 2.0 beta) on Gentoo Linux, SUSE Linux, and possibly other distributions, is run locally with elevated privileges without requiring authentication, which allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the local daemon on port 1314, a different vulnerability than CVE-2001-0956. NOTE: this issue is local in some environments, but remote on others.

Multiple buffer overflows in ulogd for SUSE Linux 9.3 up to 10.1, and possibly other distributions, have unknown impact and attack vectors related to "improper string length calculations."

StoreBackup before 1.19 allows local users to perform unauthorized operations on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

StoreBackup before 1.19 creates the backup root with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

StoreBackup before 1.19 does not properly set the uid and guid for symbolic links (1) that are backed up by storeBackup.pl, or (2) recovered by storeBackupRecover.pl, which could cause files to be restored with incorrect ownership.

Race condition in SuSE Linux 8.1 through 9.2, when run on SMP systems that have more than 4GB of memory, could allow local users to read unauthorized memory from "foreign memory pages."

Buffer overflow in Linux mount and umount allows local users to gain root privileges via a long relative pathname.

The PPP wvdial.lxdialog script in wvdial 1.4 and earlier creates a .config file with world readable permissions, which allows a local attacker in the dialout group to access login and password information.
