Sun ≫ Solaris

The Basic Security Module (BSM) for Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, and 8 does not log anonymous FTP access, which allows remote attackers to hide their activities, possibly when certain BSM audit files are not present under the FTP root.

Buffer overflow in mail included with SunOS 5.8 for x86 allows a local user to gain privileges via a long HOME environment variable.

ns6install installation script for Netscape 6.01 on Solaris, and other versions including 6.2.1 beta, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Buffer overflow in the Xview library as used by mailtool in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain privileges via the OPENWINHOME environment variable.

Buffer overflow in dtmail in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via the MAIL environment variable.

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

Buffer overflow in mailx in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a long '-F' command line option.

kcms_configure as included with Solaris 7 and 8 allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a buffer overflow in a command line argument.

Buffer overflow in the line printer daemon (in.lpd) for Solaris 8 and earlier allows local and remote attackers to gain root privileges via a "transfer job" routine.

Buffer overflow in whodo in Solaris SunOS 5.5.1 through 5.8 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) SOR or (2) CFIME environment variable.
