Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In October 2000 CVSS score >= 6

ping in iputils before 20001010, as distributed on Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7J and other operating systems, does not drop privileges after acquiring a raw socket, which increases ping's exposure to bugs that otherwise would occur at lower privileges.

Buffer overflow in bdf program in HP-UX 11.00 may allow local users to gain root privileges via a long -t option.

String parsing error in rpc.kstatd in the linuxnfs or knfsd packages in SuSE and possibly other Linux systems allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

The truncate function in IRIX 6.x does not properly check for privileges when the file is in the xfs file system, which allows local users to delete the contents of arbitrary files.

Buffer overflow in gr_osview in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain privileges via a long -D option.

Buffer overflow in dmplay in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line option.

Buffer overflow in lpstat in IRIX 6.2 and 6.3 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long -n option.

Buffer overflow in IRIX libgl.so library allows local users to gain root privileges via a long HOME variable to programs such as (1) gmemusage and (2) gr_osview.

Norton AntiVirus 5.00.01C with the Novell Netware client does not properly restart the auto-protection service after the first user has logged off of the system.

Gnome Lokkit firewall package before 0.41 does not properly restrict access to some ports, even if a user does not make any services available.

The Mail Merge tool in Microsoft Word does not prompt the user before executing Visual Basic (VBA) scripts in an Access database, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.

IRC Xchat client versions 1.4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by encoding shell metacharacters into a URL which XChat uses to launch a web browser.

sshd program in the Rapidstream 2.1 Beta VPN appliance has a hard-coded "rsadmin" account with a null password, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via ssh.

uagentsetup in ARCServeIT Client Agent 6.62 does not properly check for the existence or ownership of a temporary file which is moved to the agent.cfg configuration file, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands by modifying the temporary file before it is moved.

The web server in IPSWITCH IMail 6.04 and earlier allows remote attackers to read and delete arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack.

Checkpoint Firewall-1 with the RSH/REXEC setting enabled allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions and connect to a RSH/REXEC client via malformed connection requests.

The password protection feature of Microsoft Money can store the password in plaintext, which allows attackers with physical access to the system to obtain the password, aka the "Money Password" vulnerability.

Mediahouse Statistics Server 5.02x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long HTTP GET request.

Buffer overflow in RobTex Viking server earlier than 1.06-370 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands via a long HTTP GET request, or long Unless-Modified-Since, If-Range, or If-Modified-Since headers.

The installation of Tumbleweed Messaging Management System (MMS) 4.6 and earlier (formerly Worldtalk Worldsecure) creates a default account "sa" with no password.

IIS 4.0 and 5.0 does not properly restrict access to certain types of files when their parent folders have less restrictive permissions, which could allow remote attackers to bypass access restrictions to some files, aka the "File Permission Canonicalization" vulnerability.

O'Reilly WebSite Pro 2.3.7 installs the uploader.exe program with execute permissions for all users, which allows remote attackers to create and execute arbitrary files by directly calling uploader.exe.

Buffer overflow in vqSoft vqServer 1.4.49 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges via a long HTTP GET request.

xlockmore and xlockf do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local users to gain root privileges via the -d option.

The default installation of eTrust Access Control (formerly SeOS) uses a default encryption key, which allows remote attackers to spoof the eTrust administrator and gain privileges.
