Integer signedness error in the ip_set_srcfilter function in the IP Multicast Filter in uts/common/inet/ip/ip_multi.c in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_92 allows local users to execute arbitrary code in other Solaris Zones via an SIOCSIPMSFILTER IOCTL request with a large value of the imsf->imsf_numsrc field, which triggers an out-of-bounds write of kernel memory. NOTE: this was reported as an integer overflow, but the root cause involves the bypass of a signed comparison.

The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.

Buffer overflow in login in various System V based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a large number of arguments through services such as telnet and rlogin.

Buffer overflow in arp command in Solaris 7 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long -f parameter.

Buffer overflow in ufsrestore in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long pathname.

Buffer overflow in Solaris chkperm command allows local users to gain root access via a long -n option.

Buffer overflow in nlps_server in Sun Solaris x86 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root via a long string beginning with "NLPS:002:002:" to the listen (aka System V listener) port, TCP port 2766.

Buffer overflow in Solaris snoop allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via GETQUOTA requests to the rpc.rquotad service.

Buffer overflow in Solaris snoop program allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via a long domain name when snoop is running in verbose mode.

The dynamic linker in Solaris allows a local user to create arbitrary files via the LD_PROFILE environmental variable and a symlink attack.

The ToolTalk ttsession daemon uses weak RPC authentication, which allows a remote attacker to execute commands.

Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.

The BSD profil system call allows a local user to modify the internal data space of a program via profiling and execve.

The Red Hat Linux su program does not log failed password guesses if the su process is killed before it times out, which allows local attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.

rpc.statd allows remote attackers to forward RPC calls to the local operating system via the SM_MON and SM_NOTIFY commands, which in turn could be used to remotely exploit other bugs such as in automountd.

In Sun Solaris and SunOS, man and catman contain vulnerabilities that allow overwriting arbitrary files.

The passwd command in Solaris can be subjected to a denial of service.

Multiple buffer overflows in how dtmail handles attachments allows a remote attacker to execute commands.

Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.

Sun's ftpd daemon can be subjected to a denial of service.
