In Apache Log4j 2.x before 2.8.2, when using the TCP socket server or UDP socket server to receive serialized log events from another application, a specially crafted binary payload can be sent that, when deserialized, can execute arbitrary code.

A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind, versions before 2.6.7.1, 2.7.9.1 and 2.8.9, which could allow an unauthenticated user to perform code execution by sending the maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper.

The Device Mapper multipathing driver (aka multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath) 0.4.8, as used in SUSE openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), Fedora, and possibly other operating systems, uses world-writable permissions for the socket file (aka /var/run/multipathd.sock), which allows local users to send arbitrary commands to the multipath daemon.

Integer overflow in multiple F-Secure anti-virus products, including Internet Security 2006 through 2008, Anti-Virus 2006 through 2008, and others, when configured to scan inside compressed archives, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPM compressed archive file, which triggers a buffer overflow.

Multiple unspecified "input validation" vulnerabilities in the Web management interface (aka Messaging Administration interface) in Avaya Message Storage Server (MSS) 3.x and 4.0, and possibly Communication Manager 3.1.x, allow remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary commands as user vexvm via vectors related to (1) SFTP Remote Store configuration; (2) remote FTP storage settings; (3) name server lookup; (4) pinging another host; (5) TCP/IP Networking parameter configuration; (6) the external hosts configuration main page; (7) adding and changing external hosts; (8) Windows domain parameter configuration; (9) date, time, and NTP server configuration; (10) alarm settings; (11) the command line history form; (12) the maintenance form; and (13) the server events form.

The Linux kernel before 2.6.25.10 does not properly perform tty operations, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving NULL pointer dereference of function pointers in (1) hamradio/6pack.c, (2) hamradio/mkiss.c, (3) irda/irtty-sir.c, (4) ppp_async.c, (5) ppp_synctty.c, (6) slip.c, (7) wan/x25_asy.c, and (8) wireless/strip.c in drivers/net/.

BusyBox 1.1.1 does not use a salt when generating passwords, which makes it easier for local users to guess passwords from a stolen password file using techniques such as rainbow tables.

Multiple buffer overflows in Computer Associates (CA) Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT) 1.05, 1.07 before Build 220_13, and 1.11 before Build 29_13 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Computer Associates (CA) Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT) 1.05, 1.07 before Build 220_13, and 1.11 before Build 29_13 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via spoofed CAFT packets.

Race condition in the (1) load_elf_library and (2) binfmt_aout function calls for uselib in Linux kernel 2.4 through 2.429-rc2 and 2.6 through 2.6.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the VMA descriptor.
