Red Hat Linux 4.0

Command execution via shell metachars in INN daemon (innd) 1.5 using "newgroup" and "rmgroup" control messages, and others.

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

Buffer overflow in NFS mountd gives root access to remote attackers, mostly in Linux systems.

The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems allows local users to gain root privileges by causing sendmail to execute with arbitrary command line arguments, as demonstrated using the -C option to specify a configuration file.

Buffer overflow in University of Washington's implementation of IMAP and POP servers.

Buffer overflow in telnet daemon tgetent routing allows remote attackers to gain root access via the TERMCAP environmental variable.

rcp on various Linux systems including Red Hat 4.0 allows a "nobody" user or other user with UID of 65535 to overwrite arbitrary files, since 65535 is interpreted as -1 by chown and other system calls, which causes the calls to fail to modify the ownership of the file.

Buffer overflow in NLS (Natural Language Service).

Off-by-one error in the QUtf8Decoder::toUnicode function in Trolltech Qt 3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Unicode string that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: Qt 4 has the same error in the QUtf8Codec::convertToUnicode function, but it is not exploitable.

Buffer overflow in the man program in Linux allows local users to gain privileges via the MANPAGER environmental variable.

ucbmail allows remote attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters that are passed to it from INN.

Buffer overflow in suidperl (sperl), Perl 4.x and 5.x.

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

Vixie Cron on Linux systems allows local users to set parameters of sendmail commands via the MAILTO environmental variable.

The Red Hat Linux su program does not log failed password guesses if the su process is killed before it times out, which allows local attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.

Buffer overflow in Dosemu Slang library in Linux.

Buffer overflow in run-time linkers (1) ld.so or (2) ld-linux.so for Linux systems allows local users to gain privileges by calling a setuid program with a long program name (argv[0]) and forcing ld.so/ld-linux.so to report an error.

Buffer overflow in Vixie cron allows local users to gain root access via a long MAILTO environment variable in a crontab file.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 does not properly compile and link gdm with tcp_wrappers on x86_64 platforms, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 on the x86_64 platform allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via unspecified vectors related to the get_gate_vma function and the fuser command.
