Sun Solaris 2.4

Buffer overflow in login in various System V based operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a large number of arguments through services such as telnet and rlogin.

The prescan() function in the address parser (parseaddr.c) in Sendmail before 8.12.9 does not properly handle certain conversions from char and int types, which can cause a length check to be disabled when Sendmail misinterprets an input value as a special "NOCHAR" control value, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack using messages, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1337.

Buffer overflow in statd allows root privileges.

Buffer overflow in nlps_server in Sun Solaris x86 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root via a long string beginning with "NLPS:002:002:" to the listen (aka System V listener) port, TCP port 2766.

Automount daemon automountd allows local or remote users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters.

The AIX FTP client can be forced to execute commands from a malicious server through shell metacharacters (e.g. a pipe character).

Buffer overflow in Solaris snoop program allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via a long domain name when snoop is running in verbose mode.

Buffer overflow in syslog utility allows local or remote attackers to gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in Solaris snoop allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via GETQUOTA requests to the rpc.rquotad service.

NFS cache poisoning.

SunOS rpc.cmsd allows attackers to obtain root access by overwriting arbitrary files.

Buffer overflow in xlock program allows local users to execute commands as root.

In SunOS or Solaris, a remote user could connect from an FTP server's data port to an rlogin server on a host that trusts the FTP server, allowing remote command execution.

rpc.statd allows remote attackers to forward RPC calls to the local operating system via the SM_MON and SM_NOTIFY commands, which in turn could be used to remotely exploit other bugs such as in automountd.

Multiple buffer overflows in how dtmail handles attachments allows a remote attacker to execute commands.

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

Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.

Solaris rpcbind listens on a high numbered UDP port, which may not be filtered since the standard port number is 111.

nis_cachemgr for Solaris NIS+ allows attackers to add malicious NIS+ servers.

Buffer overflow in chkey in Solaris 2.5.1 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in ufsrestore in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long pathname.

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 arp command in Solaris 7 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long -f parameter.

aspppd on Solaris 2.5 x86 allows local users to modify arbitrary files and gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the /tmp/.asppp.fifo file.

Buffer overflow in Solaris fdformat command gives root access to local users.

Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.

The BSD profil system call allows a local user to modify the internal data space of a program via profiling and execve.

The Sun sdtcm_convert calendar utility for OpenWindows has a buffer overflow which can gain root access.

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 SunOS/Solaris ps command.

Buffer overflows in Sun libnsl allow root access.

Buffer overflow in nss_nisplus.so.1 library in NIS+ in Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 allows local users to gain root privileges.

The passwd command in Solaris can be subjected to a denial of service.

Solaris rpcbind can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access.

Solaris sysdef command allows local users to read kernel memory, potentially leading to root privileges.

Buffer overflow in Solaris chkperm command allows local users to gain root access via a long -n option.

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.

DNS cache poisoning via BIND, by predictable query IDs.

Sun's ftpd daemon can be subjected to a denial of service.
