Format string vulnerability in the _msgout function in rpc.pcnfsd in IBM AIX 6.1, 5.3, and earlier; IBM VIOS 2.1, 1.5, and earlier; NFS/ONCplus B.11.31_09 and earlier on HP HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.23, and B.11.31; and SGI IRIX 6.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an RPC request containing format string specifiers in an invalid directory name.

Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen.

Vulnerability in AIX 3.2.x and 4.x allows local users to gain write access to files on locally or remotely mounted AIX filesystems.

named-xfer in AIX 4.1.5 and 4.2.1 allows members of the system group to overwrite system files to gain root access via the -f parameter and a malformed zone file.

The ToolTalk ttsession daemon uses weak RPC authentication, which allows a remote attacker to execute commands.

Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.

Vulnerability in ptrace in AIX 4.3 allows local users to gain privileges by attaching to a setgid program.

snap command in AIX before 4.3.2 creates the /tmp/ibmsupt directory with world-readable permissions and does not remove or clear the directory when snap -a is executed, which could allow local users to access the shadowed password file by creating /tmp/ibmsupt/general/passwd before root runs snap -a.

Inverse query buffer overflow in BIND 4.9 and BIND 8 Releases.

Execute commands as root via buffer overflow in Tooltalk database server (rpc.ttdbserverd).
