DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2008-09-04 CVE-2008-3916 Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU ED
Heap-based buffer overflow in the strip_escapes function in signal.c in GNU ed before 1.0 allows context-dependent or user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename.

2007-12-07 CVE-2007-6109 Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Emacs
Stack-based buffer overflow in emacs allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a large precision value in an integer format string specifier to the format function, as demonstrated via a certain "emacs -batch -eval" command line.

2007-05-04 CVE-2007-2500 Remote Code Execution vulnerability in GNU Flash Player 0.7.2
server/parser/sprite_definition.cpp in GNU Gnash (aka GNU Flash Player) 0.7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of SHOWFRAME elements within a DEFINESPRITE element, which triggers memory corruption and enables the attacker to call free with an arbitrary address, probably resultant from a buffer overflow.

2004-12-06 CVE-2004-0603 Unspecified vulnerability in GNU Gzip
gzexe in gzip 1.3.3 and earlier will execute an argument when the creation of a temp file fails instead of exiting the program, which could allow remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary commands, a different vulnerability than CVE-1999-1332.
