eEye SecureIIS versions 1.0.3 and earlier allows a remote attacker to bypass filtering of requests made to SecureIIS by escaping HTML characters within the request, which could allow a remote attacker to use restricted variables and perform directory traversal attacks on vulnerable programs that would otherwise be protected.

Aladdin eSafe Gateway versions 3.0 and earlier allows a remote attacker to circumvent HTML SCRIPT filtering via the UNICODE encoding of SCRIPT tags within the HTML document.

Aladdin eSafe Gateway versions 3.0 and earlier allows a remote attacker to circumvent filtering of SCRIPT tags by embedding the scripts within certain HTML tags including (1) onload in the BODY tag, (2) href in the A tag, (3) the BUTTON tag, (4) the INPUT tag, or (5) any other tag in which scripts can be defined.

Aladdin eSafe Gateway versions 2.x allows a remote attacker to circumvent HTML SCRIPT filtering via a special arrangement of HTML tags which includes SCRIPT tags embedded within other SCRIPT tags.

book.cgi in NetCode NC Book 0.2b allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the "current" parameter.

Microsoft Word 2000 does not check AutoRecovery (.asd) files for macros, which allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary macros with the user ID of the Word user.

minicom 1.83.1 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via numerous format string attacks.

crontab in Vixie cron 3.0.1 and earlier does not properly drop privileges after the failed parsing of a modification operation, which could allow a local attacker to gain additional privileges when an editor is called to correct the error.

SSH Secure Shell 3.0.0 on Unix systems does not properly perform password authentication to the sshd2 daemon, which allows local users to gain access to accounts with short password fields, such as locked accounts that use "NP" in the password field.

OpenSSH version 2.9 and earlier, with X forwarding enabled, allows a local attacker to delete any file named 'cookies' via a symlink attack.

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i Applications Desktop Integrator (ADI) version 7.x includes a debug version of FNDPUB11I.DLL, which logs the APPS schema password in cleartext in a debug file, which allows local users to obtain the password and gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in dsh in dqs 3.2.7 in SuSE Linux 7.0 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges via a long first command line argument.

fts routines in FreeBSD 4.3 and earlier, NetBSD before 1.5.2, and OpenBSD 2.9 and earlier can be forced to change (chdir) into a different directory than intended when the directory above the current directory is moved, which could cause scripts to perform dangerous actions on the wrong directories.

ICQ 2001a Alpha and earlier allows remote attackers to automatically add arbitrary UINs to an ICQ user's contact list via a URL to a web page with a Content-Type of application/x-icq, which is processed by Internet Explorer.

Netware Enterprise Web Server 5.1 running GroupWise WebAccess 5.5 with Novell Directory Services (NDS) enabled allows remote attackers to enumerate user names, group names and other system information by accessing ndsobj.nlm.

GroupWise WebAccess 5.5 with directory indexing enabled allows a remote attacker to view arbitrary directory contents via an HTTP request with a lowercase "get".

GroupWise 5.5 and 6 running in live remote or smart caching mode allows remote attackers to read arbitrary users' mailboxes by extracting usernames and passwords from sniffed network traffic, as addressed by the "Padlock" fix.

Faust Informatics Freestyle Chat server prior to 4.1 SR3 allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via a URL request which includes a MS-DOS device name (e.g., GET /aux HTTP/1.0).

Directory traversal vulnerability in Faust Informatics Freestyle Chat server prior to 4.1 SR3 allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files via a specially crafted URL which includes variations of a '..' (dot dot) attack such as '...' or '....'.

Directory traversal vulnerability in MP3Mystic prior to 1.04b3 allows a remote attacker to download arbitrary files via a '..' (dot dot) in the URL.

Cisco Catalyst 2900XL switch allows a remote attacker to create a denial of service via an empty UDP packet sent to port 161 (SNMP) when SNMP is disabled.

Spearhead NetGAP 200 and 300 before build 78 allow a remote attacker to bypass file blocking and content inspection via specially encoded URLs which include '%' characters.

generate.cgi in SIX-webboard 2.01 and before allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a dot dot (..) in the content parameter.

Digital Creations Zope 2.3.2 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via the changing of ZClass permission mappings for objects and methods in the ZClass.

Buffer overflow in mailx in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a long '-F' command line option.

Symantec LiveUpdate 1.5 stores proxy passwords in cleartext in a registry key, which could allow local users to obtain the passwords.

Buffer overflow in dtmail in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via the MAIL environment variable.

Buffer overflow in the Xview library as used by mailtool in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain privileges via the OPENWINHOME environment variable.
