libutil in OpenSSH on FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier does not drop privileges before verifying the capabilities for reading the copyright and welcome files, which allows local users to bypass the capabilities checks and read arbitrary files by specifying alternate copyright or welcome files.

rmuser utility in FreeBSD 4.2 and 4.3 creates a copy of the master.passwd file with world-readable permissions while updating the original file, which could allow local users to gain privileges by reading the copied file while rmuser is running, obtain the password hashes, and crack the passwords.

POP2 or POP3 server (pop3d) in imap-uw IMAP package on FreeBSD and other operating systems creates lock files with predictable names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (lack of mail access) for other users by creating lock files for other mail boxes.

ipfw in FreeBSD does not properly handle the use of "me" in its rules when point to point interfaces are used, which causes ipfw to allow connections from arbitrary remote hosts.

TCP Wrappers (tcp_wrappers) in FreeBSD 4.1.1 through 4.3 with the PARANOID ACL option enabled does not properly check the result of a reverse DNS lookup, which could allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via DNS spoofing.

linprocfs on FreeBSD 4.3 and earlier does not properly restrict access to kernel memory, which allows one process with debugging rights on a privileged process to read restricted memory from that process.

fts routines in FreeBSD 4.3 and earlier, NetBSD before 1.5.2, and OpenBSD 2.9 and earlier can be forced to change (chdir) into a different directory than intended when the directory above the current directory is moved, which could cause scripts to perform dangerous actions on the wrong directories.

FreeBSD 4.3 does not properly clear shared signal handlers when executing a process, which allows local users to gain privileges by calling rfork with a shared signal handler, having the child process execute a setuid program, and sending a signal to the child.

rwho daemon rwhod in FreeBSD 4.2 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed packets with a short length.

Race condition in the UFS and EXT2FS file systems in FreeBSD 4.2 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, makes deleted data available to user processes before it is zeroed out, which allows a local user to access otherwise restricted information.

Buffer overflow in dc20ctrl before 0.4_1 in FreeBSD, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges.

sort in FreeBSD 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, uses predictable temporary file names and does not properly handle when the temporary file already exists, which causes sort to crash and possibly impacts security-sensitive scripts.

inetd ident server in FreeBSD 4.x and earlier does not properly set group permissions, which allows remote attackers to read the first 16 bytes of files that are accessible by the wheel group.

ipfw and ip6fw in FreeBSD 4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions by setting the ECE flag in a TCP packet, which makes the packet appear to be part of an established connection.

The kernel in FreeBSD 3.2 follows symbolic links when it creates core dump files, which allows local attackers to modify arbitrary files.

periodic in FreeBSD 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

procfs in FreeBSD and possibly other operating systems does not properly restrict access to per-process mem and ctl files, which allows local users to gain root privileges by forking a child process and executing a privileged process from the child, while the parent retains access to the child's address space.

procfs in FreeBSD and possibly other operating systems allows local users to cause a denial of service by calling mmap on the process' own mem file, which causes the kernel to hang.

procfs in FreeBSD and possibly other operating systems allows local users to bypass access control restrictions for a jail environment and gain additional privileges.

Vulnerability in telnetd in FreeBSD 1.5 allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying critical environmental variables that affect the behavior of telnetd.
