A module in Roxen 2.0 before 2.0.92, and 2.1 before 2.1.264, does not properly decode UTF-8, Mac and ISO-2202 encoded URLs, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands or view arbitrary files via an encoded URL.

The Lucent Closed Network protocol can allow remote attackers to join Closed Network networks which they do not have access to.

Orinoco RG-1000 wireless Residential Gateway uses the last 5 digits of the 'Network Name' or SSID as the default Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption key.

IRC DCC helper in the ip_masq_irc IP masquerading module 2.2 allows remote attackers to bypass intended firewall restrictions by causing the target system to send a "DCC SEND" request to a malicious server which listens on port 6667, which may cause the module to believe that the traffic is a valid request and allow the connection to the port specified in the DCC SEND request.

Zetetic Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords (STRIP) 0.5 and earlier for the PalmOS allows a local attacker to recover passwords via a brute force attack.

cda in xmcd 3.0.2 and 2.6 in SuSE Linux allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in SHOUTcast Server 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via several HTTP requests with a long (1) user-agent or (2) host HTTP header.

Lotus Domino R5 prior to 5.0.7 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via URL requests (>8Kb) containing a large number of '/' characters.

Lotus Domino R5 prior to 5.0.7 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via repeatedly sending large (> 10Kb) amounts of data to the DIIOP - CORBA service on TCP port 63148.

Lotus Domino R5 prior to 5.0.7 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via repeated (>400) URL requests for DOS devices.

Lotus Domino R5 prior to 5.0.7 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via HTTP requests containing certain combinations of UNICODE characters.

Lotus Domino R5 prior to 5.0.7 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via repeated URL requests with the same HTTP headers, such as (1) Accept, (2) Accept-Charset, (3) Accept-Encoding, (4) Accept-Language, and (5) Content-Type.

Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere Database Engine 6.0.3.2747 and earlier as included with Symantec Ghost 6.5 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service by sending large (> 45Kb) amounts of data to port 2638.

Symantec Ghost 6.5 and earlier allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service by sending large (> 45Kb) amounts of data to the Ghost Configuration Server on port 1347, which triggers an error that is not properly handled.

Watchguard Firebox II prior to 4.6 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service in the kernel via a large stream (>10,000) of malformed ICMP or TCP packets.

Apache Software Foundation Tomcat Servlet prior to 3.2.2 allows a remote attacker to read the source code to arbitrary 'jsp' files via a malformed URL request which does not end with an HTTP protocol specification (i.e.

The License Manager (mathlm) for Mathematica 4.0 and 4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by connecting to port 16286 and not disconnecting, which prevents users from making license requests.

The Microsoft Windows network stack allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a flood of malformed ARP request packets with random source IP and MAC addresses, as demonstrated by ARPNuke.

SQL injection vulnerability in prefs.php in phpBB 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands and gain administrative access via the viewemail parameter.

Identix BioLogon 2.03 and earlier does not lock secondary displays on a multi-monitor system running Windows 98 or ME, which allows an attacker with physical access to the system to bypass authentication through a secondary display.

sendfiled, as included with Simple Asynchronous File Transfer (SAFT), on various Linux systems does not properly drop privileges when sending notification emails, which allows local attackers to gain privileges.

kfm as included with KDE 1.x can allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a symlink attack in the kfm cache directory in /tmp.

Buffer overflow in the kcsSUNWIOsolf.so library in Solaris 7 and 8 allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the KCMS_PROFILES environment variable, e.g.

kcms_configure as included with Solaris 7 and 8 allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a buffer overflow in a command line argument.

lsfs in AIX 4.x allows a local user to gain additional privileges by creating Trojan horse programs named (1) grep or (2) lslv in a certain directory that is under the user's control, which cause lsfs to access the programs in that directory.

prefs.php in phpBB 1.4.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code via an invalid language value, which prevents the variables (1) $l_statsblock in prefs.php or (2) $l_privnotify in auth.php from being properly initialized, which can be modified by the user and later used in an eval statement.

VMWare creates a temporary file vmware-log.USERNAME with insecure permissions, which allows local users to read or modify license information.

Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a allows a local user with write access to winnt/system32 to cause a denial of service (crash in lsass.exe) by running the NT4ALL exploit program in 'SPECIAL' mode.

QNX 2.4 allows a local user to read arbitrary files by directly accessing the mount point for the FAT disk partition, e.g.

iPlanet Calendar Server 5.0p2 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain access to the Netscape Admin Server (NAS) LDAP database and read arbitrary files by obtaining the cleartext administrator username and password from the configuration file, which has insecure permissions.
