SGI Irix 6.4

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

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.

Telnetd telnet server in IRIX 5.2 through 6.1 does not properly cleans user-injected format strings, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long RLD variable in the IAC-SB-TELOPT_ENVIRON request.

xfsmd for IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.16 uses weak authentication, which allows remote attackers to call dangerous RPC functions, including those that can mount or unmount xfs file systems, to gain root privileges.

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

System Manager sysmgr GUI in SGI IRIX 6.4 and 6.3 allows remote attackers to execute commands by providing a trojan horse (1) runtask or (2) runexec descriptor file, which is used to execute a System Manager Task when the user's Mailcap entry supports the x-sgi-task or x-sgi-exec type.

The handler CGI program in IRIX allows arbitrary command execution.

CDE ToolTalk database server (ttdbserver) allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary memory locations with a zero, and possibly gain privileges, via a file descriptor argument in an AUTH_UNIX procedure call, which is used as a table index by the _TT_ISCLOSE procedure.

Buffer overflow in the (1) smap/smapd and (2) CSMAP daemons for Gauntlet Firewall 5.0 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted mail message.

The dtterm terminal emulator allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

CDE ToolTalk database server (ttdbserver) allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the transaction log file used by the _TT_TRANSACTION RPC procedure.

Arbitrary file creation and program execution using FLEXlm LicenseManager, from versions 4.0 to 5.0, in IRIX.

Buffer overflow in Xt library of X Windowing System allows local users to execute commands with root privileges.

Buffer overflow in Korn Shell (ksh) suid_exec program on IRIX 6.x and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in lpr, as used in BSD-based systems including Linux, allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root via a long -C (classification) command line option.

inpview in InPerson on IRIX 5.3 through IRIX 6.5.10 trusts the PATH environmental variable to find and execute the ttsession program, which allows local users to obtain root access by modifying the PATH to point to a Trojan horse ttsession program.

IRIX startmidi program allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

IRIX cdplayer allows local users to create directories in arbitrary locations via a command line option.

ioconfig on SGI IRIX 6.4 S2MP for Origin/Onyx2 allows local users to gain root access using relative pathnames.

Buffer overflow in uum program for Canna input system allows local users to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in canuum program for Canna input system allows local users to gain root privileges.

SGI permissions program allows local users to gain root privileges.

Vulnerability in (1) diskperf and (2) diskalign in IRIX 6.4 allows local attacker to create arbitrary root owned files, leading to root privileges.

Buffer overflow in cpr for the eoe.sw.cpr SGI Checkpoint-Restart Software package on SGI IRIX 6.5.10 and earlier may allow local users to gain root privileges.

Vulnerability in runpriv in Indigo Magic System Administration subsystem of SGI IRIX 6.3 and 6.4 allows local users to gain root privileges.

Vulnerabilities in (1) ipxchk and (2) ipxlink in NetWare Client 1.0 on IRIX 6.3 and 6.4 allows local users to gain root access via a modified IFS environmental variable.

Buffer overflows in CDROM Confidence Test program (cdrom) allow local users to gain root privileges.

disk_bandwidth on SGI IRIX 6.4 S2MP for Origin/Onyx2 allows local users to gain root access using relative pathnames.

Vulnerability in runtime linker program rld in SGI IRIX 6.x and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via setuid and setgid programs.

Vulnerability in (1) diskalign and (2) diskperf in IRIX 6.4 patches 2291 and 2848 allow a local user to create root-owned files leading to a root compromise.

SGI mediad program allows local users to gain root access.

A buffer overflow in the SGI X server allows local users to gain root access through the X server font path.

The syssgi SGI_IOPROBE system call in IRIX 6.5.20 through 6.5.24 allows local users to gain privileges by reading and writing to kernel memory.

cpr (libcpr) in SGI IRIX before 6.5.25 allows local users to gain privileges by loading a user provided library while restarting the checkpointed process.

Routed allows attackers to append data to files.

The default installation of IRIX Performance Copilot allows remote attackers to access sensitive system information via the pmcd daemon.
