CVE-2004-2300: Undefined Security Weakness

Buffer overflow in snmpd in ucd-snmp 4.2.6 and earlier, when installed setuid root, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -p command line argument. NOTE: it is not clear whether there are any standard configurations in which snmpd is installed setuid or setgid. If not, then this...

USN-159-1: unzip vulnerability

If a ZIP archive contains binaries with the setuid and/or setgid bit set, unzip preserved those bits when extracting the archive. This could be exploited by tricking the administrator into unzipping an archive with a setuid-root binary into a directory the attacker can access. This allowed the...

Fedora Core 3 : perl-5.8.5-14.FC3 (2005-600)

Paul Szabo discovered another vulnerability in the File::Path::rmtree function of perl, the popular scripting language. When a process is deleting a directory tree, a different user could exploit a race condition to create setuid binaries in this directory tree, provided that he already had write...

CVE-2001-1553

CVE-2001-1553 describes a local buffer overflow in SETI@home 3.03 when the binary is installed setuid. An attacker could trigger arbitrary code execution via overly long command line options (socks_server, socks_user, socks_passwd). The note indicates the default SETI@home configuration is not se...

CVE-2001-1564

CVE-2001-1564 affects HP-UX kernels prior to some later patch levels (versions 10.01, 10.10, 10.24, 10.20, 11.00, 11.04 and 11.11). The issue is that setrlimit does not correctly enforce core file size after the process drops setuid/setgid privileges, which could allow a local user to cause a den...

CVE-2002-2023

The getparameterfromfreqencysource function in beep2 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, when installed setuid root, allows local users to read arbitrary files via unknown attack vectors...

Buffer overflow in PFinger 0.7.8 client allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long query value passed to the 1 finger program, 2 -l, 3 -d, and 4 -t options. NOTE: if PFinger is not setuid or setgid, then this issue would not cross privilege boundaries and would not be considered...

CVE-2001-1564: Undefined Security Weakness

setrlimit in HP-UX 10.01, 10.10, 10.24, 10.20, 11.00, 11.04 and 11.11 does not properly enforce core file size on processes after setuid or setgid privileges are dropped, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service by exhausting available disk space...

CVE-2005-2180: Undefined Security Weakness

gen-index in GNATS 4.0, 4.1.0, and possibly earlier versions, when installed setuid, does not properly check files passed to the -o argument and opens the file with write access, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files...
