RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 only creates one session instance at a time, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (RunAs hang) by creating a named pipe session with the authentication server without any request for service. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, however the vendor also presents a scenario in which other users could be affected if running on a Terminal Server. Therefore this is a vulnerability.

RunAs (runas.exe) in Windows 2000 stores cleartext authentication information in memory, which could allow attackers to obtain usernames and passwords by executing a process that is allocated the same memory page after termination of a RunAs command. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying that administrative privileges are already required to exploit it, and the original researcher did not respond to requests for additional information

The finger daemon (in.fingerd) in Sun Solaris 2.5 through 8 and SunOS 5.5 through 5.8 allows remote attackers to list all accounts on a host by typing finger 'a b c d e f g h'@host.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 through 6.0 could allow local users to differentiate between alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters used in a password by pressing certain control keys that jump between non-alphanumeric characters, which makes it easier to conduct a brute-force password guessing attack.

smcboot in Sun SMC (Sun Management Center) 2.0 in Solaris 8 allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/smc$SMC_PORT.

Hughes Technology Mini SQL 2.0.10 through 2.0.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating a very large array in a table, which causes miniSQL to crash when the table is queried.

Microsoft Internet Explorer for Unix 5.0SP1 allows local users to possibly cause a denial of service (crash) in CDE or the X server on Solaris 2.6 by rapidly scrolling Chinese characters or maximizing the window.

Certain backend drivers in the SANE library 1.0.3 and earlier, as used in frontend software such as XSane, allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

DeltaThree Pc-To-Phone 3.0.3 places sensitive data in world-readable locations in the installation directory, which allows local users to read the information in (1) temp.html, (2) the log folder, and (3) the PhoneBook folder.

Vulnerability in Oracle 8.0.x through 9.0.1 on Unix allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, possibly via a symlink attack or incorrect file permissions in (1) the ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log directory or (2) an alternate directory as specified in the ORACLE_HOME environmental variable, aka the "Oracle File Overwrite Security Vulnerability."

Vulnerability in CIFS/9000 Server (SAMBA) A.01.06 and earlier in HP-UX 11.0 and 11.11, when configured as a print server, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by modifying certain resources.

Internet Explorer 5.0, and possibly other versions, may allow remote attackers (malicious web pages) to read known text files from a client's hard drive via a SCRIPT tag with a SRC value that points to the text file.

Apple MacOS X 10.0 and 10.1 allow a local user to read and write to a user's desktop folder via insecure default permissions for the Desktop when it is created in some languages.

apmscript in Apmd in Red Hat 7.2 "Enigma" allows local users to create or change the modification dates of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the LOW_POWER temporary file, which could be used to cause a denial of service, e.g. by creating /etc/nologin and disabling logins.

Netscape 4.79 and earlier for MacOS allows an attacker with access to the browser to obtain passwords from form fields by printing the document into which the password has been typed, which is printed in cleartext.

Linux kernel before 2.4.11pre3 in multiple Linux distributions allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by starting the core vmlinux kernel, possibly related to poor error checking during ELF loading.

iptables-save in iptables before 1.2.4 records the "--reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" rule as "--reject-with tcp-reset," which causes iptables to generate different responses than specified by the administrator, possibly leading to an information leak.

Sendmail before 8.12.1, without the RestrictQueueRun option enabled, allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information about the mail queue by setting debugging flags to enable debug mode.

Sendmail before 8.12.1, without the RestrictQueueRun option enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (data loss) by (1) setting a high initial message hop count option (-h), which causes Sendmail to drop queue entries, (2) via the -qR option, or (3) via the -qS option.

Outlook Web Access (OWA) in Microsoft Exchange 2000 allows an authenticated user to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed OWA request for a deeply nested folder within the user's mailbox.

IIS 5.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via by installing content that produces a certain invalid MIME Content-Type header, which corrupts the File Type table.

Linux kernel 2.2.1 through 2.2.19, and 2.4.1 through 2.4.10, allows local users to cause a denial of service via a series of deeply nested symlinks, which causes the kernel to spend extra time when trying to access the link.

Horde IMP 2.2.4 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

Cisco Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) allows local attackers to cause a denial of service by spoofing HSRP packets.

Vulnerability in (1) pine before 4.33 and (2) the pico editor, included with pine, allows local users local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Cisco PIX firewall manager (PFM) 4.3(2)g logs the enable password in plaintext in the pfm.log file, which could allow local users to obtain the password by reading the file.

libutil in OpenSSH on FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier does not drop privileges before verifying the capabilities for reading the copyright and welcome files, which allows local users to bypass the capabilities checks and read arbitrary files by specifying alternate copyright or welcome files.

Maximum Rumpus FTP Server 2.0.3 dev and before allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) via a mkdir command that specifies a large number of sub-folders.

Thibault Godouet FCron prior to 1.1.1 allows a local user to corrupt another user's crontab file via a symlink attack on the fcrontab temporary file.

Directory traversal vulnerability in IncrediMail version 1400185 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files on the local hard drive by appending .. (dot dot) sequences to filenames listed in the content.ini file.
