Buffer overflow in the URL catcher feature for SSH Secure Shell for Workstations client 3.1 to 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long URL.

SSH Secure Shell for Servers and SSH Secure Shell for Workstations 2.0.13 through 3.2.1, when running without a PTY, does not call setsid to remove the child process from the process group of the parent process, which allows attackers to gain certain privileges.

importInfo in the Admin Server for iPlanet WebServer 4.x, up to SP11, allows the web administrator to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the dir parameter, and possibly allows remote attackers to exploit this vulnerability via a separate XSS issue (CVE-2002-1315).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Admin Server for iPlanet WebServer 4.x, up to SP11, allows remote attackers to execute web script or HTML as the iPlanet administrator by injecting the desired script into error logs, and possibly escalating privileges by using the XSS vulnerability in conjunction with another issue (CVE-2002-1316).

Heap-based buffer overflow in the error-handling mechanism for the IIS ISAPI handler in Macromedia JRun 4.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary via an HTTP GET request with a long .jsp file name.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the error-handling mechanism for the IIS ISAPI handler in Macromedia ColdFusion 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary via an HTTP GET request with a long .cfm file name.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Netscape and Mozilla allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a jar: URL that references a malformed .jar file, which overflows a buffer during decompression.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in MHonArc 2.5.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to insert script or HTML via an email message with the script in a MIME header name.

Multiple buffer overflows in LISa on KDE 2.x for 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x before 3.0.4, allow (1) local and possibly remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the "lisa" daemon, and (2) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain "lan://" URL.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly conduct other unauthorized activities via applet tags in HTML that bypass Java class restrictions (such as private constructors) by providing the class name in the code parameter, aka "Incomplete Java Object Instantiation Vulnerability."

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, can provide HTML object references to applets via Javascript, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash due to illegal memory accesses) and possibly conduct other unauthorized activities via an applet that uses those references to access proprietary Microsoft methods.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, provides a public load0() method for the CabCracker class (com.ms.vm.loader.CabCracker), which allows remote attackers to bypass the security checks that are performed by the load() method.

The Microsoft Java virtual machine (VM) build 5.0.3805 and earlier, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to extend the Standard Security Manager (SSM) class (com.ms.security.StandardSecurityManager) and bypass intended StandardSecurityManager restrictions by modifying the (1) deniedDefinitionPackages or (2) deniedAccessPackages settings, causing a denial of service by adding Java applets to the list of applets that are prevented from running.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to read and modify the contents of the Clipboard via an applet that accesses the (1) ClipBoardGetText and (2) ClipBoardSetText methods of the INativeServices class.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to read restricted process memory, cause a denial of service (crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code via the getNativeServices function, which creates an instance of the com.ms.awt.peer.INativeServices (INativeServices) class, whose methods do not verify the memory addresses that are passed as parameters.

The Microsoft Java implementation, as used in Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to steal cookies and execute script in a different security context via a URL that contains a colon in the domain portion, which is not properly parsed and loads an applet from a malicious site within the security context of the site that is being visited by the user.

runlpr in the LPRng package allows the local lp user to gain root privileges via certain command line arguments.

Unknown vulnerability in the telnet KIO subsystem (telnet.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.

Unknown vulnerability in the rlogin KIO subsystem (rlogin.protocol) of KDE 2.x 2.1 and later, and KDE 3.x 3.0.4 and earlier, allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain URL.

Multiple buffer overflows in conf.c for Masqmail 0.1.x before 0.1.17, and 0.2.x before 0.2.15, allow local users to gain privileges via certain entries in the configuration file (-C option).

The mailconf module in Linuxconf 1.24, and other versions before 1.28, on Conectiva Linux 6.0 through 8, and possibly other distributions, generates the Sendmail configuration file (sendmail.cf) in a way that configures Sendmail to run as an open mail relay, which allows remote attackers to send Spam email.

Buffer overflow in Window Maker (wmaker) 0.80.0 and earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain image file that is not properly handled when Window Maker uses width and height information to allocate a buffer.

Unknown vulnerability in html2ps HTML/PostScript converter 1.0, when used within LPRng, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "unsanitized input."

The Mail::Mailer Perl module in the perl-MailTools package 1.47 and earlier uses mailx as the default mailer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by inserting them into the mail body, which is then processed by mailx.

Buffer overflow in Oracle iSQL*Plus web application of the Oracle 9 database server allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long USERID parameter in the isqlplus URL.
