Archive::Zip Perl module before 1.14, when used by antivirus programs such as amavisd-new, allows remote attackers to bypass antivirus protection via a compressed file with both local and global headers set to zero, which does not prevent the compressed file from being opened on a target system.

setpwnam.c in the util-linux package, as included in Red Hat Linux 7.3 and earlier, and other operating systems, does not properly lock a temporary file when modifying /etc/passwd, which may allow local users to gain privileges via a complex race condition that uses an open file descriptor in utility programs such as chfn and chsh.

sgml-tools (aka sgmltools) before 1.0.9-15 creates temporary files with insecure permissions, which allows other users to read files that are being processed by sgml-tools.

Format string vulnerability in Mutt before 1.2.5 allows a remote malicious IMAP server to execute arbitrary commands.

time server daemon timed allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed packets.

Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header.

kdesu program in KDE2 (KDE before 2.2.0-6) does not properly verify the owner of a UNIX socket that is used to send a password, which allows local users to steal passwords and gain privileges.

When using the LD_PRELOAD environmental variable in SUID or SGID applications, glibc does not verify that preloaded libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache are also SUID/SGID, which could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files by loading a library from /lib or /usr/lib.

rdist 6.1.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

privatepw program in wu-ftpd before 2.6.1-6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
