The SAVRT.SYS device driver, as used in Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.1 and 9.0.x up to 9.0.3, and Symantec Client Security 1.1 and 2.0.x up to 2.0.3, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a modified address for the output buffer argument to the DeviceIOControl function.

Integer overflow in Microsoft Word 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string in a Word document, which overflows a 16-bit integer length value, aka "Memmove Code Execution," a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3651 and CVE-2006-4693.

Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2004 for Mac, and v.X for Mac do not properly parse the length of a chart record, which allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Word document with an embedded malformed chart record that triggers an overwrite of pointer values with values from the document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3434, CVE-2006-3864, and CVE-2006-3868.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Word 2000, 2002, and Office 2003 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted mail merge file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3647 and CVE-2006-4693.

The perfmonctl system call (sys_perfmonctl) in Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6 before 2.6.18, when running on Itanium systems, does not properly track the reference count for file descriptors, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (file descriptor consumption).

Unspecified vulnerability in mso.dll in Microsoft Office 2000, XP, and 2003, and Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, XP, and 2003, allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed record in a (1) .DOC, (2) .PPT, or (3) .XLS file that triggers memory corruption, related to an "array boundary condition" (possibly an array index overflow), a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3434, CVE-2006-3650, and CVE-2006-3868.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 for Mac, v.X for Mac, and Excel Viewer 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Lotus 1-2-3 file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-2387 and CVE-2006-3875.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Office XP and 2003 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed Smart Tag.

Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 for Mac, v.X for Mac, and Excel Viewer 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted COLINFO record in an XLS file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-2387 and CVE-2006-3867.

Unspecified vulnerability in PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2000, Office 2002, Office 2003, Office 2004 for Mac, and Office v.X for Mac allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Data record in a PPT file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3435 and CVE-2006-4694.

Unspecified vulnerability in PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2000, Office 2002, Office 2003, Office 2004 for Mac, and Office v.X for Mac allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an unspecified "crafted file," a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-3435, CVE-2006-4694, and CVE-2006-3876.

Buffer overflow in AOL You've Got Pictures (YGP) Screensaver ActiveX control allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Buffer overflow in AOL You've Got Pictures (YGP) Pic Downloader YGPPDownload ActiveX control (AOL.PicDownloadCtrl.1, YGPPicDownload.dll), as used in America Online 9.0 Security Edition, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the SetAlbumName method.

Unspecified vulnerability in a Verity third party library, as used on Adobe ColdFusion MX 7 through MX 7.0.2 and possibly other products, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors.

Format string vulnerability in the mod_tcl module 1.0 for Apache 2.x allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers that are not properly handled in a set_var function call in (1) tcl_cmds.c and (2) tcl_core.c.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the NCP engine in Novell eDirectory before 8.8.1 FTF1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted NCP over IP packet that causes NCP to read more data than intended.

Integer overflow in ClamAV 0.88.1 and 0.88.4, and other versions before 0.88.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (scanning service crash) and execute arbitrary code via a crafted Portable Executable (PE) file that leads to a heap-based buffer overflow when less memory is allocated than expected.

thttpd on Debian GNU/Linux, and possibly other distributions, allows local users to create or touch arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the start_thttpd temporary file.

The kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, when running on SMP systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by running the shmat function on an shm at the same time that shmctl is removing that shm (IPC_RMID), which prevents a spinlock from being unlocked.

Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7, when the administrator clears the "Allow user to administer this computer" checkbox in System Preferences for a user, does not remove the user's account from the appserveradm or appserverusr groups, which still allows the user to manage WebObjects applications.

CFNetwork in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7 and 10.3.9 allows remote SSL sites to appear as trusted sites by using encryption without authentication, which can cause the lock icon in Safari to be displayed even when the site's identity cannot be trusted.
