The AIX FTP client can be forced to execute commands from a malicious server through shell metacharacters (e.g. a pipe character).

In SunOS or Solaris, a remote user could connect from an FTP server's data port to an rlogin server on a host that trusts the FTP server, allowing remote command execution.

Solaris sysdef command allows local users to read kernel memory, potentially leading to root privileges.

nis_cachemgr for Solaris NIS+ allows attackers to add malicious NIS+ servers.

rpc.mountd on Linux, Ultrix, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of a file on the server by attempting to mount that file, which generates different error messages depending on whether the file exi...

DNS cache poisoning via BIND, by predictable query IDs.

Buffer overflow in SunOS/Solaris ps command.

Buffer overflow in nss_nisplus.so.1 library in NIS+ in Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 allows local users to gain root privileges.

ping in Solaris 2.3 through 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a ping request to a multicast address through the loopback interface, e.g. via ping -i.

Solaris rpcbind listens on a high numbered UDP port, which may not be filtered since the standard port number is 111.
