The Sun RPC functionality in multiple libc implementations does not provide a time-out mechanism when reading data from TCP connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang).

xfsmd for IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.16 uses weak authentication, which allows remote attackers to call dangerous RPC functions, including those that can mount or unmount xfs file systems, to gain root privileges.

Unknown vulnerability in rpc.passwd in the nfs.sw.nis subsystem of SGI IRIX 6.5.15 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges.

Unknown vulnerability in Mail for SGI IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.15f, and possibly earlier versions, when running with the -R option, allows local and remote attackers to cause a core dump.

Buffer overflow in SNMP daemon (snmpd) on SGI IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.15m allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an SNMP request.

Vulnerability in SGI IRIX 6.5.11 through 6.5.15f allows local users to cause privileged applications to dump core via the HOSTALIASES environment variable, which might allow the users to gain privileges.

rpcbind in SGI IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.15f, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via malformed RPC packets with invalid lengths.

The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems allows local users to gain root privileges by causing sendmail to execute with arbitrary command line arguments, as demonstrated using the -C option to specify a configuration file.

The line printer daemon (lpd) in the lpr package in multiple Linux operating systems authenticates by comparing the reverse-resolved hostname of the local machine to the hostname of the print server as returned by gethostname, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access controls by modifying the DNS for the attacking IP.
