ScriptLogic 4.01, and possibly other versions before 4.14, uses insecure permissions for the LOGS$ share, which allows users to modify log records and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Race condition in SSH Tectia Server 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 for Unix, when the password change plugin (ssh-passwd-plugin) is enabled, allows local users to obtain the server's private key.

Unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.01 SP3 through 6.0 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser or Outlook Express crash) via HTML with certain input tags that are not properly rendered.

shar on HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.04, and B.11.11 creates temporary files with predictable names in /tmp, which allows local users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack.

A race condition in the at command for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to delete arbitrary files via the -r argument with .. (dot dot) sequences in the job name, then modifying the directory structure after at checks permissions to delete the file and before the deletion actually takes place.

Various routines for the ppc64 architecture on Linux kernel 2.6 prior to 2.6.2 and 2.4 prior to 2.4.24 do not use the copy_from_user function when copying data from userspace to kernelspace, which crosses security boundaries and allows local users to cause a denial of service.

ez-ipupdate 3.0.11b7 and earlier creates insecure temporary cache files, which allows local users to conduct unauthorized operations via a symlink attack on the ez-ipupdate.cache file.

eject 2.0.10, when installed setuid on systems such as SuSE Linux 7.3, generates different error messages depending on whether a specified file exists or not, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.

Openwebmail in cPanel 5.0, when run using suid Perl, adds the directory in the SCRIPT_FILENAME environment variable to Perl's @INC include array, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying SCRIPT_FILENAME to reference a directory containing a malicious openwebmail-shared.pl executable.

chpass in OpenBSD 2.0 through 3.2 allows local users to read portions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a temporary file used to store user database information.

Microsoft URLScan 2.5, with the RemoveServerHeader option enabled, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (server name and version) via an HTTP request that generates certain errors such as 400 "Bad Request," which leak the Server header in the response.

Unspecified vulnerability in xscreensaver 4.12, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to cause xscreensaver to crash via unspecified vectors "while verifying the user-password."

Xscreensaver before 4.15 creates temporary files insecurely in (1) driver/passwd-kerberos.c, (2) driver/xscreensaver-getimage-video, (3) driver/xscreensaver.kss.in, and the (4) vidwhacker and (5) webcollage screensavers, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

The iBCS2 system call translator for statfs in NetBSD 1.5 through 1.5.3 and FreeBSD 4 up to 4.8-RELEASE-p2 and 5 up to 5.1-RELEASE-p1 allows local users to read portions of kernel memory (memory disclosure) via a large length parameter, which copies additional kernel memory into userland memory.

cgihtml 1.69 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on certain temporary files.

Winamp 3.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a .b4s file with a playlist name that contains some non-English characters, e.g. Cyrillic characters.

Zebra 0.93b and earlier, and quagga before 0.95, allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending spoofed messages as other users to the kernel netlink interface.

The Xsun server for Sun Solaris 2.6 through 9, when running in Direct Graphics Access (DGA) mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (Xsun crash) or to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system, probably via a symlink attack on temporary server files.
