IBM AIX 4.1.2

Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.

Inverse query buffer overflow in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases.

Execute commands as root via buffer overflow in Tooltalk database server (rpc.ttdbserverd).

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 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.

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

snap command in AIX before 4.3.2 creates the /tmp/ibmsupt directory with world-readable permissions and does not remove or clear the directory when snap -a is executed, which could allow local users to access the shadowed password file by creating /tmp/ibmsupt/general/passwd before root runs snap -a.

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

The ToolTalk ttsession daemon uses weak RPC authentication, which allows a remote attacker to execute commands.

Buffer overflow in AIX lchangelv gives root access.

Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.

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

AIX nslookup command allows local users to obtain root access by not dropping privileges correctly.

Buffer overflow in AIX writesrv command allows local users to obtain root access.

Buffer overflow in AIX xdat gives root access to local users.

Vulnerability in digest in AIX 4.3 allows printq users to gain root privileges by creating and/or modifing any file on the system.

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.

AIX piodmgrsu command allows local users to gain additional group privileges.

Vulnerability in ptrace in AIX 4.3 allows local users to gain privileges by attaching to a setgid program.

Vulnerability in AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 and 9.05 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using a socket to connect to a port on the localhost, calling shutdown to clear the socket, then using the same socket to connect to a different port on localhost.

sadc in IBM AIX 4.1 through 4.3, when called from programs such as timex that are setgid adm, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
