Sun Sunos 5.3

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.

Buffer overflow of rlogin program using TERM environmental variable.

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

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

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.

Buffer overflow in CDE Calendar Manager Service Daemon (rpc.cmsd).

Denial of Service vulnerabilities in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases via CNAME record and zone transfer.

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 NIS+, in Sun's rpc.nisd program.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

SunOS/Solaris FTP clients can be forced to execute arbitrary commands from a malicious FTP server.

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

Buffer overflow in Xsun in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long HOME environmental variable.

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

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

Buffer overflow in (1) pluggable authentication module (PAM) on Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.5 and (2) unix_scheme in Solaris 2.4 and 2.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via programs that use these modules such as passwd, yppasswd, and nispasswd.

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.

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.

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