Buffer overflow in Progress 4GL Compiler 9.1D06 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via source code containing a long, invalid data type.

The imagemagick libmagick library 5.5 and earlier creates temporary files insecurely, which allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files.

Buffer overflows in osh before 1.7-11 allow local users to execute arbitrary code and bypass shell restrictions via (1) long environment variables or (2) long "file redirections."
