IBM AIX 3.2

Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.

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.

Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.

rpc.ypupdated (NIS) allows remote users to execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in statd allows root privileges.

Buffer overflow in AIX and Solaris "gethostbyname" library call allows root access through corrupt DNS host names.

The AIX FTP client can be forced to execute commands from a malicious server through shell metacharacters (e.g. a pipe character).

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

Buffer overflow in syslog utility allows local or remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in xlock program allows local users to execute commands as root.

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.

FTP servers can allow an attacker to connect to arbitrary ports on machines other than the FTP client, aka FTP bounce.

Buffer overflow in Xt library of X Windowing System allows local users to execute commands with root privileges.

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

Buffer overflow in AIX lquerylv program gives root access to local users.

AIX infod allows local users to gain root access through an X display.

AIX bugfiler program allows local users to gain root access.

Buffer overflow and denial of service in Sendmail 8.7.5 and earlier through GECOS field gives root access to local users.

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.

Oversized ICMP ping packets can result in a denial of service, aka Ping o' Death.

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

AIX routed allows remote users to modify sensitive files.

Delete or create a file via rpc.statd, due to invalid information.

RIP v1 is susceptible to spoofing.

Jolt ICMP attack causes a denial of service in Windows 95 and Windows NT systems.

Vulnerability in AIX 3.2.x and 4.x allows local users to gain write access to files on locally or remotely mounted AIX filesystems.

Sendmail allows local users to write to a file and gain group permissions via a .forward or :include: file.

pcnfsd (aka rpc.pcnfsd) allows local users to change file permissions, or execute arbitrary commands through arguments in the RPC call.

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