Vulnerabilities (CVE)

Jolt ICMP attack causes a denial of service in Windows 95 and Windows NT systems.

Buffer overflow in Sun's ping program can give root access to local users.

Buffer overflow in Solaris kcms_configure via a long NETPATH environmental variable.

Denial of service in BIND named via consuming more than "fdmax" file descriptors.

Buffer overflow in chkey in Solaris 2.5.1 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in the ping daemon of Sun Solaris 7 through 9 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.

Denial of service in BIND named via naptr.

Heap overflow in savestr function in LBNL traceroute 1.4a5 and earlier allows a local user to execute arbitrary commands via the -g option.

NFS on SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 ignores the high order 16 bits in a 32 bit UID, which allows a local user to gain root access if the lower 16 bits are set to 0, as fixed by the NFS jumbo patch upgrade.

FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier, and possibly other BSD-based operating systems, allows local users to write to or read from restricted files by closing the file descriptors 0 (standard input), 1 (standard output), or 2 (standard error), which may then be reused by a called setuid process that intended to perform I/O on normal files.

Buffer overflow in admintool in Solaris 2.5 through 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via long arguments to (1) the -d command line option, or (2) the PRODVERS argument in the .cdtoc file.

The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.

Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (network throughput reduction for TCP connections) via a blind throughput-reduction attack using spoofed Source Quench packets, aka the "ICMP Source Quench attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability.

NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities.

Format string vulnerability in the logging component of snmpdx for Solaris 5.6 through 8 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed characters (such as those from password prompts) via the L2/AGAIN key.

Solaris sysdef command allows local users to read kernel memory, potentially leading to root privileges.

Unknown vulnerability in lpadmin on Sun Solaris 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files.

Buffer overflow in nss_nisplus.so.1 library in NIS+ in Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 allows local users to gain root privileges.

The permissions for the /dev/audio device on Solaris 2.2 and earlier, and SunOS 4.1.x, allow any local user to read from the device, which could be used by an attacker to monitor conversations happening near a machine that has a microphone.

The getdbm procedure in ypxfrd allows local users to read arbitrary files, and remote attackers to read databases outside /var/yp, via a directory traversal and symlink attack on the domain and map arguments.

Aspppls for Solaris 8 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the .asppp.fifo temporary file.

Solaris 7, 8, and 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via a flood of certain ARP packets.

Buffer overflow in the libauth library in Solaris allows local users to gain additional privileges, possibly root access.

The kernel in Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to gain privileges by loading arbitrary loadable kernel modules (LKM), possibly involving the modload function.

Multiple buffer overflows in uucp for Sun Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allow local users to execute arbitrary code as the uucp user.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Sun Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) library service daemon (kcms_server) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the KCS_OPEN_PROFILE procedure.

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.

The dynamic linker in Solaris allows a local user to create arbitrary files via the LD_PROFILE environmental variable and a symlink attack.

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

Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel in Solaris 10 with patch 118822-29 (118844-29 on x86) and without patch 118833-11 (118855-08) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors that lead to "kernel data structure corruption" that can trigger a system panic, application failure, or "data corruption."

Buffer overflow in Solaris getopt in libc allows local users to gain root privileges via a long argv[0].

Solaris rpcbind listens on a high numbered UDP port, which may not be filtered since the standard port number is 111.

DHCP clients with ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) enabled allow remote attackers to modify their default routes.

Land IP denial of service.

CDE screen lock program (screenlock) on Solaris 2.6 does not properly lock an unprivileged user's console session when the host is an NIS+ client, which allows others with physical access to login with any string.

Buffer overflow in Solaris snoop allows remote attackers to gain root privileges via GETQUOTA requests to the rpc.rquotad service.

/usr/ucb/ps in Sun Microsystems Solaris 8 and 9, and certain earlier releases, allows local users to view the environment variables and values of arbitrary processes via the -e option.

NFS cache poisoning.

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.
