Freebsd : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 1999

FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by creating a large number of socket pairs using the socketpair function, setting a large buffer size via setsockopt, then writing large buffers.

FreeBSD 3.2 and possibly other versions allows a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) with a large number accesses of an NFS v3 mounted directory from a large number of processes.

Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults.

runtar in the Amanda backup system used in various UNIX operating systems executes tar with root privileges, which allows a user to overwrite or read arbitrary files by providing the target files to runtar.

Vulnerability when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled in Linux 2.2.10 and earlier with ipchains, or FreeBSD 3.2 with ipfw, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a ping -R (record route) command.

FreeBSD mount_union command allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack.

FreeBSD VFS cache (vfs_cache) allows local users to cause a denial of service by opening a large number of files.

Buffer overflow in FreeBSD seyon via HOME environmental variable, -emulator argument, -modems argument, or the GUI.

FreeBSD gdc program allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in FreeBSD gdc program.

Buffer overflow in FreeBSD angband allows local users to gain privileges.

Buffer overflow in FreeBSD xmindpath allows local users to gain privileges via -f argument.

FreeBSD seyon allows local users to gain privileges by providing a malicious program in the -emulator argument.

FreeBSD seyon allows users to gain privileges via a modified PATH variable for finding the xterm and seyon-emu commands.

Buffer overflow in Berkeley automounter daemon (amd) logging facility provided in the Linux am-utils package and others.

OpenBSD, BSDI, and other Unix operating systems allow users to set chflags and fchflags on character and block devices.

A buffer overflow in lsof allows local users to obtain root privilege.

ip_input.c in BSD-derived TCP/IP implementations allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or hang) via crafted packets.
