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.

Denial of Service vulnerabilities in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases via CNAME record and zone transfer.

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.

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

Buffer overflow in NLS (Natural Language Service).

Buffer overflow in rwhod on AIX and other operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a UDP packet with a long hostname.

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

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.

Unauthorized privileged access or denial of service via dtappgather program in CDE.

Buffer overflow in AIX lchangelv gives root access.

Local users can start Sendmail in daemon mode and gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in enq command in IBM AIX 4.3.x and earlier may allow local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long -M argument.

Buffer overflow in digest command in IBM AIX 4.3.x and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands.

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 dtterm program for the CDE.

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

Buffer overflow in ping in AIX 4.2 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.

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.

Buffer overflows in Sun libnsl allow root access.

Buffer overflow in setclock command in IBM AIX 4.3.x and earlier may allow local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long argument.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Denial of service when an attacker sends many SYN packets to create multiple connections without ever sending an ACK to complete the connection, aka SYN flood.

DNS cache poisoning via BIND, by predictable query IDs.

Denial of Service vulnerability in BIND 8 Releases via maliciously formatted DNS messages.

AIX routed allows remote users to modify sensitive files.
