IBM AIX 3.1

Format string vulnerability in the _msgout function in rpc.pcnfsd in IBM AIX 6.1, 5.3, and earlier; IBM VIOS 2.1, 1.5, and earlier; NFS/ONCplus B.11.31_09 and earlier on HP HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.23, and B.11.31; and SGI IRIX 6.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an RPC request containing format string specifiers in an invalid directory name.

Some implementations of rlogin allow root access if given a -froot parameter.

Buffer overflow in Source Code Browser Program Database Name Server Daemon (pdnsd) for the IBM AIX C Set ++ compiler.

Talkd, when given corrupt DNS information, can be used to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

Local user gains root privileges via buffer overflow in rdist, via expstr() function.

AIX batch queue (bsh) allows local and remote users to gain additional privileges when network printing is enabled.

AIX bugfiler program allows local users to gain root access.

AIX passwd allows local users to gain root access.

dpsexec (DPS Server) when running under XDM in IBM AIX 3.2.5 and earlier does not properly check privileges, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain privileges.

Unspecified vulnerability in crontab in IBM AIX 3.2 allows local users to gain root privileges via unknown attack vectors.

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.

The rexd service is running, which uses weak authentication that can allow an attacker to execute commands.
