Buffer overflow in SunOS/Solaris ps command.

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

Command execution in Sun systems via buffer overflow in the at program.

Buffer overflows in Sun libnsl allow root access.

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

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

Buffer overflow in the libauth library in Solaris allows local users to gain additional privileges, possibly root access.

Buffer overflow in exrecover in Solaris 2.6 and earlier possibly allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in /usr/bin/cu in Solaris 2.8 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges by executing cu with a long program name (arg0).

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

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

Buffer overflow in Sun's ping program can give root access to local users.

vold in Solaris 2.x allows local users to 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.

A race condition in the Solaris ps command allows an attacker to overwrite critical files.

Oversized ICMP ping packets can result in a denial of service, aka Ping o' Death.

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.

Denial of Service vulnerability in BIND 8 Releases via maliciously formatted DNS messages.

Delete or create a file via rpc.statd, due to invalid information.

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

Solaris 2.4 before kernel jumbo patch -35 allows set-gid programs to dump core even if the real user id is not in the set-gid group, which allows local users to overwrite or create files at higher privileges by causing a core dump, e.g. through dmesg.

Sendmail allows local users to write to a file and gain group permissions via a .forward or :include: file.

The dynamic linker in Solaris allows a local user to create arbitrary files via the LD_PROFILE environmental variable and a symlink attack.

Kerberos 4 key servers allow a user to masquerade as another by breaking and generating session keys.

Buffer overflow in BNU UUCP daemon (uucpd) through long hostnames.

In Sun Solaris and SunOS, man and catman contain vulnerabilities that allow overwriting arbitrary files.

ping in Solaris 2.3 through 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a ping request to a multicast address through the loopback interface, e.g. via ping -i.

Expreserve, as used in vi and ex, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access.

Solaris syslogd crashes when receiving a message from a host that doesn't have an inverse DNS entry.

pcnfsd (aka rpc.pcnfsd) allows local users to change file permissions, or execute arbitrary commands through arguments in the RPC call.
