Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults.
The SVR4 /dev/wabi special device file in NetBSD 1.3.3 and earlier allows a local user to read or write arbitrary files on the disk associated with that device.
Local users can perform a denial of service in NetBSD 1.3.3 and earlier versions by creating an unusual symbolic link with the ln command, triggering a bug in VFS.
XFree86 xfs command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.
XFree86 startx command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.
