2007-03-04 CVE-2006-7108 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in Andries Brouwer Util-Linux 2.12A
login in util-linux-2.12a skips pam_acct_mgmt and chauth_tok when authentication is skipped, such as when a Kerberos krlogin session has been established, which might allow users to bypass intended access policies that would be enforced by pam_acct_mgmt and chauth_tok.

2005-09-13 CVE-2005-2876 Unspecified vulnerability in Andries Brouwer Util-Linux
umount in util-linux 2.8 to 2.12q, 2.13-pre1, and 2.13-pre2, and other packages such as loop-aes-utils, allows local users with unmount permissions to gain privileges via the -r (remount) option, which causes the file system to be remounted with just the read-only flag, which effectively clears the nosuid, nodev, and other flags.

2003-08-27 CVE-2003-0620 Unspecified vulnerability in Andries Brouwer MAN
Multiple buffer overflows in man-db 2.4.1 and earlier, when installed setuid, allow local users to gain privileges via (1) MANDATORY_MANPATH, MANPATH_MAP, and MANDB_MAP arguments to add_to_dirlist in manp.c, (2) a long pathname to ult_src in ult_src.c, (3) a long .so argument to test_for_include in ult_src.c, (4) a long MANPATH environment variable, or (5) a long PATH environment variable.

2003-03-18 CVE-2003-0124 Unspecified vulnerability in Andries Brouwer MAN
man before 1.5l allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed man file with improper quotes, which causes the my_xsprintf function to return a string with the value "unsafe," which is then executed as a program via a system call if it is in the search path of the user who runs man.

2003-03-03 CVE-2003-0094 Unspecified vulnerability in Andries Brouwer Util-Linux 2.11N/2.11U
A patch for mcookie in the util-linux package for Mandrake Linux 8.2 and 9.0 uses /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random, which causes mcookie to use an entropy source that is more predictable than expected, which may make it easier for certain types of attacks to succeed.

2002-04-01 CVE-2001-1175 Unspecified vulnerability in Andries Brouwer Util-Linux 2.10S/2.11D
vipw in the util-linux package before 2.10 causes /etc/shadow to be world-readable in some cases, which would make it easier for local users to perform brute force password guessing.
