in.identd ident server in SuSE Linux 6.x and 7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long request, which causes the server to access a NULL pointer and crash.

restore 0.4b15 and earlier in Red Hat Linux 6.2 trusts the pathname specified by the RSH environmental variable, which allows local users to obtain root privileges by modifying the RSH variable to point to a Trojan horse program.

elvis-tiny before 1.4-10 in Debian GNU/Linux, and possibly other Linux operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in socks5 server on Linux allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long connection request.

Buffer overflow in pam_localuser PAM module in Red Hat Linux 7.x and 6.x allows attackers to gain privileges.

Glint in Red Hat Linux 5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and cause a denial of service via a symlink attack.

cyrus-sasl before 1.5.24 in Red Hat Linux 7.0 does not properly verify the authorization for a local user, which could allow the users to bypass specified access restrictions.

dump in Red Hat Linux 6.2 trusts the pathname specified by the RSH environmental variable, which allows local users to obtain root privileges by modifying the RSH variable to point to a Trojan horse program.

Buffer overflow in ypserv in Mandrake Linux 7.1 and earlier, and possibly other Linux operating systems, allows an attacker to gain root privileges when ypserv is built without a vsyslog() function.

Format string vulnerability in ypserv in Mandrake Linux 7.1 and earlier, and possibly other Linux operating systems, allows an attacker to gain root privileges when ypserv is built without a vsyslog() function.

Format string vulnerability in ypbind-mt in SuSE SuSE-6.2, and possibly other Linux operating systems, allows an attacker to gain root privileges.

The default configuration of the Xsession file in Mandrake Linux 7.1 and 7.0 bypasses the Xauthority access control mechanism with an "xhost + localhost" command, which allows local users to sniff X Windows events and gain privileges.

The tmpwatch utility in Red Hat Linux forks a new process for each directory level, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating deeply nested directories in /tmp or /var/tmp/.

Interbase 6 SuperServer for Linux allows an attacker to cause a denial of service via a query containing 0 bytes.

Kernel logging daemon (klogd) in Linux does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local users to gain root privileges by triggering malformed kernel messages.

The default configuration of Apache 1.3.12 in SuSE Linux 6.4 allows remote attackers to read source code for CGI scripts by replacing the /cgi-bin/ in the requested URL with /cgi-bin-sdb/.

The default configuration of Apache 1.3.12 in SuSE Linux 6.4 enables WebDAV, which allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories via the PROPFIND HTTP request method.

The default configuration of mod_perl for Apache as installed on Mandrake Linux 6.1 through 7.1 sets the /perl/ directory to be browseable, which allows remote attackers to list the contents of that directory.

The initscripts package in Red Hat Linux allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack.

Minicom 1.82.1 and earlier on some Linux systems allows local users to create arbitrary files owned by the uucp user via a symlink attack.
