time server daemon timed allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed packets.

Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header.

Multiple shell programs on various Unix systems, including (1) tcsh, (2) csh, (3) sh, and (4) bash, follow symlinks when processing << redirects (aka here-documents or in-here documents), which allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in GNOME libraries 1.0.8 allows local user to gain root access via a long --espeaker argument in programs such as nethack.

When using the LD_PRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.

sgml-tools (aka sgmltools) before 1.0.9-15 creates temporary files with insecure permissions, which allows other users to read files that are being processed by sgml-tools.

sdiff 2.7 in the diffutils package allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

inn 2.2.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.

exmh 2.2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the exmhErrorMsg temporary file.

squid 2.3 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.

getty_ps 2.0.7j allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

useradd program in shadow-utils program may allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

privatepw program in wu-ftpd before 2.6.1-6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

arpwatch 2.1a4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.
