Vulnerability in SGI BDS (Bulk Data Service) BDSPro 2.4 and earlier allows clients to read arbitrary files on a BDS server.

Vulnerability in FAM 2.6.8, 2.6.6, and other versions allows unprivileged users to obtain the names of files whose access is restricted to the root group.

MediaMail and MediaMail Pro in SGI IRIX 6.5.16 and earlier allows local users to force the program to dump core via certain arguments, which could allow the users to read sensitive data or gain privileges.

CDE ToolTalk database server (ttdbserver) allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory locations with a zero, and possibly gain privileges, via a file descriptor argument in an AUTH_UNIX procedure call, which is used as a table index by the _TT_ISCLOSE procedure.

Vulnerability in the XFS file system for SGI IRIX before 6.5.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) by creating a file that is not properly processed by XFS.

IRISconsole 2.0 may allow users to log into the icadmin account with an incorrect password in some circumstances, which could allow users to gain privileges.

/dev/ipfilter on SGI IRIX 6.5 is installed by /dev/MAKEDEV with insecure default permissions (644), which could allow a local user to cause a denial of service (traffic disruption).
