The undocumented semconfig system call in BSD freezes the state of semaphores, which allows local users to cause a denial of service of the semaphore system by using the semconfig call.

NetBSD 1.4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a packet with an unaligned IP timestamp option.

Buffer overflow in Berkeley automounter daemon (amd) logging facility provided in the Linux am-utils package and others.

FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by creating a large number of socket pairs using the socketpair function, setting a large buffer size via setsockopt, then writing large buffers.

IP fragmentation denial of service in FreeBSD allows a remote attacker to cause a crash.

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.

The access permissions for a UNIX domain socket are ignored in Solaris 2.x and SunOS 4.x, and other BSD-based operating systems before 4.4, which could allow local users to connect to the socket and possibly disrupt or control the operations of the program using that socket.

Buffer overflow in Xt library of X Windowing System allows local users to execute commands with root privileges.

Local users can start Sendmail in daemon mode and gain root privileges.

Buffer overflow in lpr, as used in BSD-based systems including Linux, allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root via a long -C (classification) command line option.
