The installation process in IBM InfoSphere Information Server 8.1, 8.5, 8.7, and 9.1 on UNIX and Linux sets incorrect permissions and ownerships for unspecified files, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via standard filesystem operations.
Opera before 10.00 on Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD does not properly implement the "INPUT TYPE=file" functionality, which allows remote attackers to trick a user into uploading an unintended file via vectors involving a "dropped file."
Format string vulnerability in exim (3.22-10 in Red Hat, 3.12 in Debian and 3.16 in Conectiva) in batched SMTP mode allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via format strings in SMTP mail headers.
Buffer overflow in logging functions of licq before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands.
glibc 2.1.9x and earlier does not properly clear the RESOLV_HOST_CONF, HOSTALIASES, or RES_OPTIONS environmental variables when executing setuid/setgid programs, which could allow local users to read arbitrary files.
Memory leak in ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a series of USER commands, and possibly SIZE commands if the server has been improperly installed.
Multiple shell programs on various Unix systems, including (1) tcsh, (2) csh, (3) sh, and (4) bash, follow symlinks when processing << redirects (aka here-documents or in-here documents), which allows local users to overwrite files of other users via a symlink attack.
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.
