Heap overflow in xlock in Solaris 2.6 through 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long (1) XFILESEARCHPATH or (2) XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in rpc.yppasswdd (yppasswd server) in Solaris 2.6, 7 and 8 allows remote attackers to gain root access via a long username.

The Basic Security Module (BSM) for Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, and 8 does not log anonymous FTP access, which allows remote attackers to hide their activities, possibly when certain BSM audit files are not present under the FTP root.

Buffer overflow in mail included with SunOS 5.8 for x86 allows a local user to gain privileges via a long HOME environment variable.

Buffer overflow in cb_reset in the System Service Processor (SSP) package of SunOS 5.8 allows a local user to execute arbitrary code via a long argument.

Buffer overflow in ptexec in the Sun Validation Test Suite 4.3 and earlier allows a local user to gain privileges via a long -o argument.

Java Plugin 1.4 for JRE 1.3 executes signed applets even if the certificate is expired, which could allow remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via an applet that has been signed by an expired certificate.

ns6install installation script for Netscape 6.01 on Solaris, and other versions including 6.2.1 beta, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Vulnerability in iPlanet Web Server 4.X in HP-UX 11.04 (VVOS) with VirtualVault A.04.00 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via the HTTPS service.

Sun Chili!Soft 3.5.2 on Linux and 3.6 on AIX creates a default admin username and password in the default installation, which can allow a remote attacker to gain additional privileges.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Sun Chili!Soft ASP on multiple Unixes allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files above the web root via a '..' (dot dot) attack in the sample script 'codebrws.asp'.

Sun Chili!Soft ASP has weak permissions on various configuration files, which allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges and create a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in the Xview library as used by mailtool in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain privileges via the OPENWINHOME environment variable.

Buffer overflow in dtmail in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via the MAIL environment variable.

Buffer overflow in mailx in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a long '-F' command line option.

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

Buffer overflow in the kcsSUNWIOsolf.so library in Solaris 7 and 8 allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the KCMS_PROFILES environment variable, e.g. as demonstrated using the kcms_configure program.

kcms_configure as included with Solaris 7 and 8 allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a buffer overflow in a command line argument.

Buffer overflow in the line printer daemon (in.lpd) for Solaris 8 and earlier allows local and remote attackers to gain root privileges via a "transfer job" routine.

iPlanet Directory Server 4.1.4 and earlier (LDAP) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via invalid BER length of length fields, as demonstrated by the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite.

Buffer overflows in iPlanet Directory Server 4.1.4 and earlier (LDAP) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite.

Format string vulnerabilities in iPlanet Directory Server 4.1.4 and earlier (LDAP) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by the PROTOS LDAPv3 test suite.

Multiple TCP implementations could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth and CPU exhaustion) by setting the maximum segment size (MSS) to a very small number and requesting large amounts of data, which generates more packets with less TCP-level data that amplify network traffic and consume more server CPU to process.

Buffer overflow in whodo in Solaris SunOS 5.5.1 through 5.8 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) SOR or (2) CFIME environment variable.

poprelayd script before 2.0 in Cobalt RaQ3 servers allows remote attackers to bypass authentication for relaying by causing a "POP login by user" string that includes the attacker's IP address to be injected into the maillog log file.

Buffer overflow in Xsun in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long HOME environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in ipcs in Solaris 7 x86 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long TZ (timezone) environmental variable, a different vulnerability than CAN-2002-0093.

FTP server in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local and remote attackers to cause a core dump in the root directory, possibly with world-readable permissions, by providing a valid username with an invalid password followed by a CWD ~ command, which could release sensitive information such as shadowed passwords, or fill the disk partition.

Buffer overflow in dtsession on Solaris, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges via a long LANG environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in SNMP proxy agent snmpd in Solaris 8 may allow local users to gain root privileges by calling snmpd with a long program name.
