ISC INN 2.1

Format string vulnerabilities in (1) inews or (2) rnews for INN 2.2.3 and earlier allow local users and remote malicious NNTP servers to gain privileges via format string specifiers in NTTP responses.

Linux xmonisdn package allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the IFS or PATH environmental variables.

The INN inndstart program allows local users to gain root privileges via the "pathrun" parameter in the inn.conf file.

The STARTTLS implementation in nnrpd in INN before 2.5.3 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.

Buffer overflow in INN 2.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a maliciously formatted article.

Buffer overflow in innfeed for ISC InterNetNews (INN) before 2.3.0 allows local users in the "news" group to gain privileges via a long -c command line argument.

Buffer overflow in innd 2.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a cancel request containing a long message ID.
