modprobe in the modutils 2.3.x package on Linux systems allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.

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.

Multiple shell programs on various Unix systems, including (1) tcsh, (2) csh, (3) sh, and (4) bash, follow symlinks when processing << redirects (aka here-documents or in-here documents), which allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.

Format string vulnerability in logging function of ypbind 3.3, while running in debug mode, leaks file descriptors and allows an attacker to cause a denial of service.

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

Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.

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.

rpc.statd in the nfs-utils package in various Linux distributions does not properly cleanse untrusted format strings, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in fdmount on Linux systems allows local users in the "floppy" group to execute arbitrary commands via a long mountpoint parameter.

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.
