Sun Sunos 4.1.4

Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.

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

NFS cache poisoning.

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

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.

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

ypbind with -ypset and -ypsetme options activated in Linux Slackware and SunOS allows local and remote attackers to overwrite files via a .. (dot dot) attack.

FTP servers can allow an attacker to connect to arbitrary ports on machines other than the FTP client, aka FTP bounce.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in sendmail 5, as installed on Sun SunOS 4.1.3_U1 and 4.1.4, have unspecified attack vectors and impact. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-1999-0129.

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.

SunOS sendmail 5.59 through 5.65 uses popen to process a forwarding host argument, which allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable and passing crafted values to the -oR option.

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.

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.

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

Land IP denial of service.

Teardrop IP denial of service.

A later variation on the Teardrop IP denial of service attack, a.k.a. Teardrop-2.

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

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

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

cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed characters (such as those from password prompts) via the L2/AGAIN key.

SunOS 4.1.4 on a Sparc 20 machine allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by reading from the /dev/tcx0 TCX device.
