Webmin 0.92, when installed from an RPM, creates /var/webmin with insecure permissions (world readable), which could allow local users to read the root user's cookie-based authentication credentials and possibly hijack the root user's session using the credentials.

pkg_add in FreeBSD 4.2 through 4.4 creates a temporary directory with world-searchable permissions, which may allow local users to modify world-writable parts of the package during installation.

HP-UX 11.11 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock), due to a "file system weakness" that is possibly via an mmap() system call and performing an I/O operation using data from the mapped buffer on the file descriptor for the mapped file.

The virtual memory management system in FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE and earlier does not properly check the existence of a VM object during page invalidation, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by calling msync on an unaccessed memory map created with MAP_ANON and MAP_NOSYNC flags.

The linux 2.4 kernel before 2.4.19 assumes that the fninit instruction clears all registers, which could lead to an information leak on processors that do not clear all relevant SSE registers.

Linux kernel 2.2.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using the mmap() function with a PROT_READ parameter to access non-readable memory pages through the /proc/pid/mem interface.

The Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier, and 2.5.x, when running on x86 systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via the emulation mode, which does not properly clear TF and NT EFLAGs.

Mac OS X 10.2.2 allows local users to read files that only allow write access via the map_fd() Mach system call.

The libthread library (libthread.so.1) for Solaris 2.5.1 through 8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) of an application that uses libthread by causing the application to wait for a certain mutex.

Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by setting the sd_struiowrq variable in the struioget function to null, which triggers a null dereference.

nullmailer 1.00RC5 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service via an email to a local user that does not exist, which generates an error that causes nullmailer to stop sending mail to all users.

A regression error in the Debian distributions of the apache-ssl package (before 1.3.9 on Debian 2.2, and before 1.3.26 on Debian 3.0), for Apache 1.3.27 and earlier, allows local users to read or modify the Apache password file via a symlink attack on temporary files when the administrator runs (1) htpasswd or (2) htdigest, a re-introduction of a vulnerability that was originally identified and addressed by CVE-2001-0131.

SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service via an rcp call on /proc.

tkmail before 4.0beta9-8.1 allows local users to create or overwrite files as users via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Unknown vulnerability in Solaris 8, when the 0x02 bit (aka TEST, KMF_DEADBEEF, or deadbeef) is set in the kmem_flags kernel parameter, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic).

securetar, as used in AMaViS shell script 0.2.1 and earlier, allows users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed TAR file, possibly via an incorrect file size parameter.

Race condition in Performance Pack in BEA WebLogic Server and Express 5.1.x, 6.0.x, 6.1.x and 7.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a flood of data and connections.

Adobe eBook Reader 2.1 and 2.2 allows a user to copy eBooks to other systems by using the backup feature, capturing the encryption Challenge, and using the appropriate hash function to generate the activation code.

Unknown vulnerability in IPV6 functionality for DCE daemons (1) dced or (2) rpcd on HP-UX 11.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an attack that modifies internal data.

autorun in Xandros based Linux distributions allows local users to read the first line of arbitrary files via the -c parameter, which causes autorun to print the first line of the file.

scoadmin for Caldera/SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 and 5.0.6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, as demonstrated using log files.

Cisco IP Phone (VoIP) models 7910, 7940, and 7960 use a default administrative password, which allows attackers with physical access to the phone to modify the configuration settings.

scrollkeeper-get-cl in ScrollKeeper 0.3 to 0.3.11 allows local users to create and overwrite files via a symlink attack on the scrollkeeper-tempfile.x temporary files.

Mozilla 1.1 and earlier, and Mozilla-based browsers such as Netscape and Galeon, set the document referrer too quickly in certain situations when a new page is being loaded, which allows web pages to determine the next page that is being visited, including manually entered URLs, using the onunload handler.

FreeBSD port programs that use libkvm for FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE and earlier, including (1) asmon, (2) ascpu, (3) bubblemon, (4) wmmon, and (5) wmnet2, leave open file descriptors for /dev/mem and /dev/kmem, which allows local users to read kernel memory.

Vulnerability in FAM 2.6.8, 2.6.6, and other versions allows unprivileged users to obtain the names of files whose access is restricted to the root group.

xinetd 2.3.4 leaks file descriptors for the signal pipe to services that are launched by xinetd, which could allow those services to cause a denial of service via the pipe.

Unknown vulnerability in ping in HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1a, 5.1, 5.0a, 4.0g, and 4.0f allows local users to cause a denial of service.

The Google toolbar 1.1.60, when running on Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash with an exception in oleaut32.dll) via malicious HTML, possibly related to small width and height parameters or an incorrect call to the Google.Search() function.

The kqueue mechanism in FreeBSD 4.3 through 4.6 STABLE allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a pipe call in which one end is terminated and an EVFILT_WRITE filter is registered for the other end.
