Redhat Linux 5.2

Buffer overflow in glob function of glibc allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a glob pattern that ends in a brace "{" character.

Vulnerability in (1) pine before 4.33 and (2) the pico editor, included with pine, allows local users local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in man program in various distributions of Linux allows local user to execute arbitrary code as group man via a long -S option.

Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.

Buffer overflow in ultimate_source function of man 1.5 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges.

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.

Glint in Red Hat Linux 5.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and cause a denial of service via a symlink attack.

Kernel logging daemon (klogd) in Linux does not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local users to gain root privileges by triggering malformed kernel messages.

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.

Buffer overflow in fld program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via an input file containing long CHARSET_REGISTRY or CHARSET_ENCODING settings.

Buffer overflow in kon program in Kanji on Console (KON) package on Linux may allow local users to gain root privileges via a long -StartupMessage parameter.

Buffer overflow in the man program in Linux allows local users to gain privileges via the MANPAGER environmental variable.

wu-ftp with FTP conversion enabled allows an attacker to execute commands via a malformed file name that is interpreted as an argument to the program that does the conversion, e.g. tar or uncompress.

Xsession in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier can allow local users with restricted accounts to bypass execution of the .xsession file by starting kde, gnome or anotherlevel from kdm.

PAM configuration file for rlogin in Red Hat Linux 6.1 and earlier includes a less restrictive rule before a more restrictive one, which allows users to access the host via rlogin even if rlogin has been explicitly disabled using the /etc/nologin file.

Remote attackers can cause a denial of service on Linux in.telnetd telnet daemon through a malformed TERM environmental variable.

The Squid package in Red Hat Linux 5.2 and 6.0, and other distributions, installs cachemgr.cgi in a public web directory, which allows remote attackers to use it as an intermediary to connect to other systems.

Linuxconf on Red Hat Linux 6.0 and earlier does not properly disable PAM-based access to the shutdown command, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service.
