The KDE screen saver in KDE before 3.0.5 does not properly check the return value from a certain function call, which allows attackers with physical access to cause a crash and access the desktop session.
Heap-based buffer overflow in less in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted file, as demonstrated using the UTF-8 locale.
A regression error in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch omits an "access check," which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash).
Unknown vulnerability in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel 4GB/4GB split patch, when using the hugemem kernel, allows local users to read and write to arbitrary kernel memory and gain privileges via certain syscalls.
Postfix 2.1.3, when /proc/net/if_inet6 is not available and permit_mx_backup is enabled in smtpd_recipient_restrictions, allows remote attackers to bypass e-mail restrictions and perform mail relaying by sending mail to an IPv6 hostname.
Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.
The patch for integer overflow vulnerabilities in Xpdf 2.0 and 3.0 (CVE-2004-0888) is incomplete for 64-bit architectures on certain Linux distributions such as Red Hat, which could leave Xpdf users exposed to the original vulnerabilities.
Unknown vulnerability in the Linux kernel before 2.4.23, on the AMD AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures, associated with "setting up TSS limits," allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.
