Vulnerabilities in (1) ipxchk and (2) ipxlink in NetWare Client 1.0 on IRIX 6.3 and 6.4 allows local users to gain root access via a modified IFS environmental variable.

(1) ipxchk and (2) ipxlink in SGI OS2 IRIX 6.3 does not properly clear the IFS environmental variable before executing system calls, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands.

ICMP information such as (1) netmask and (2) timestamp is allowed from arbitrary hosts.

root privileges via buffer overflow in login/scheme command on SGI IRIX systems.

root privileges via buffer overflow in ordist command on SGI IRIX systems.

root privileges via buffer overflow in df command on SGI IRIX systems.

root privileges via buffer overflow in pset command on SGI IRIX systems.

root privileges via buffer overflow in eject command on SGI IRIX systems.

root privileges via buffer overflow in xlock command on SGI IRIX systems.

IRIX fam service allows an attacker to obtain a list of all files on the server.

Denial of service in RPC portmapper allows attackers to register or unregister RPC services or spoof RPC services using a spoofed source IP address such as 127.0.0.1.

Command execution in Sun systems via buffer overflow in the at program.

getcwd() file descriptor leak in FTP.

Buffer overflow in suidperl (sperl), Perl 4.x and 5.x.

Vulnerability in runtime linker program rld in SGI IRIX 6.x and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via setuid and setgid programs.

IRIX login program with a nonzero LOCKOUT parameter allows creation or damage to files.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in day5datacopier in SGI IRIX 6.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a modified PATH environment variable that points to a malicious cp program.

addnetpr in IRIX 5.3 and 6.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the printers temporary file.

addnetpr in SGI IRIX 6.2 and earlier allows local users to modify arbitrary files and possibly gain root access via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

SGI MachineInfo CGI program, installed by default on some web servers, prints potentially sensitive system status information, which could be used by remote attackers for information gathering activities.

inpview in InPerson on IRIX 5.3 through IRIX 6.5.10 trusts the PATH environmental variable to find and execute the ttsession program, which allows local users to obtain root access by modifying the PATH to point to a Trojan horse ttsession program.

Vulnerability in xfsdump in SGI IRIX may allow local users to obtain root privileges via the bck.log log file, possibly via a symlink attack.

webdist CGI program (webdist.cgi) in SGI IRIX allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the distloc parameter.
