Race condition in exec in OpenBSD 4.0 and earlier, NetBSD 1.5.2 and earlier, and FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by attaching a debugger to a process before the kernel has determined that the process is setuid or setgid.

tip on multiple BSD-based operating systems allows local users to cause a denial of service (execution prevention) by using flock() to lock the /var/log/acculog file.

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.

sendmsg function in NetBSD 1.3 through 1.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel trap or panic) via a msghdr structure with a large msg_controllen length.

Buffer overflows in BSD-based FTP servers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long pattern string containing a {} sequence, as seen in (1) g_opendir, (2) g_lstat, (3) g_stat, and (4) the glob0 buffer as used in the glob functions glob2 and glob3.

The BSD profil system call allows a local user to modify the internal data space of a program via profiling and execve.

Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults.

NetBSD on a multi-homed host allows ARP packets on one network to modify ARP entries on another connected network.

NetBSD allows ARP packets to overwrite static ARP entries.

The SVR4 /dev/wabi special device file in NetBSD 1.3.3 and earlier allows a local user to read or write arbitrary files on the disk associated with that device.
