Buffer overflow in rpc.yppasswdd (yppasswd server) in AIX allows attackers to gain unauthorized access via a long string. NOTE: due to lack of details in the vendor advisory, it is not clear if this is the same issue as CVE-2001-0779.
AIX sysback before 4.2.1.13 uses a relative path to find and execute the hostname program, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the path to point to a malicious hostname program.
Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.
