Signed integer overflow in the bttv_read function in the bttv driver (bttv-driver.c) in Linux kernel before 2.4.20 has unknown impact and attack vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in the pcilynx ieee1394 firewire driver (pcilynx.c) in Linux kernel before 2.4.20 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to "wrap handling."

Astaro Security Linux 2.016 creates world-writable files and directories, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files.

acroread in Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05 on Linux allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Buffer overflow in tnslsnr of Oracle 8i Database Server 8.1.5 for Linux allows local users to execute arbitrary code as the oracle user via a long command line argument.

grsecurity 1.9.4 for Linux kernel 2.4.18 allows local users to bypass read-only permissions by using mmap to directly map /dev/mem or /dev/kmem to kernel memory.

rhmask 1.0-9 in Red Hat Linux 7.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the mask file.

Linux kernel 2.4.1 through 2.4.19 sets root's NR_RESERVED_FILES limit to 10 files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by opening 10 setuid binaries.

ifconfig, when used on the Linux kernel 2.2 and later, does not report when the network interface is in promiscuous mode if it was put in promiscuous mode using PACKET_MR_PROMISC, which could allow attackers to sniff the network without detection, as demonstrated using libpcap.

Unknown vulnerability in Apache 1.3.19 running on HP Secure OS for Linux 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause "unexpected results" via an HTTP request.

User-mode Linux (UML) 2.4.17-8 does not restrict access to kernel address space, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code.

The experimental IP packet queuing feature in Netfilter / IPTables in Linux kernel 2.4 up to 2.4.19 and 2.5 up to 2.5.31, when a privileged process exits and network traffic is not being queued, may allow a later process with the same Process ID (PID) to access certain network traffic that would otherwise be restricted.

Buffer overflow in the French documentation patch for Gnuplot 3.7 in SuSE Linux before 8.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root via unknown attack vectors.

InterScan VirusWall 3.6 for Linux and 3.52 for Windows allows remote attackers to bypass virus protection and possibly execute arbitrary code via HTTP 1.1 chunked transfer encoding.

Linux kernel 2.2.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using the mmap() function with a PROT_READ parameter to access non-readable memory pages through the /proc/pid/mem interface.

The Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier, and 2.5.x, when running on x86 systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via the emulation mode, which does not properly clear TF and NT EFLAGs.

The mailconf module in Linuxconf 1.24, and other versions before 1.28, on Conectiva Linux 6.0 through 8, and possibly other distributions, generates the Sendmail configuration file (sendmail.cf) in a way that configures Sendmail to run as an open mail relay, which allows remote attackers to send Spam email.

Buffer overflows in netstd 3.07-17 package allows remote DNS servers to execute arbitrary code via a long FQDN reply, as observed in the utilities (1) linux-ftpd, (2) pcnfsd, (3) tftp, (4) traceroute, or (5) from/to.

autorun in Xandros based Linux distributions allows local users to read the first line of arbitrary files via the -c parameter, which causes autorun to print the first line of the file.

The iBCS routines in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c for Linux kernels 2.4.18 and earlier on x86 systems allow local users to kill arbitrary processes via a a binary compatibility interface (lcall).
