Solaris syslogd crashes when receiving a message from a host that doesn't have an inverse DNS entry.

Files created from interactive shell sessions in Cobalt RaQ microservers (e.g. .bash_history) are world readable, and thus are accessible from the web server.

Buffer overflow in Solaris lpstat via class argument allows local users to gain root access.

rpc.admind in Solaris is not running in a secure mode.

Buffer overflow in Solaris x86 mkcookie allows local users to obtain root access.

CDE screen lock program (screenlock) on Solaris 2.6 does not properly lock an unprivileged user's console session when the host is an NIS+ client, which allows others with physical access to login with any string.

A hidden SNMP community string in HP OpenView allows remote attackers to modify MIB tables and obtain sensitive information.

In Solaris, an SNMP subagent has a default community string that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root, or modify system parameters.

Solaris SUNWadmap can be exploited to obtain root access.

cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed characters (such as those from password prompts) via the L2/AGAIN key.

libnsl in Solaris allowed an attacker to perform a denial of service of rpcbind.

NIS finger allows an attacker to conduct a denial of service via a large number of finger requests, resulting in a large number of NIS queries.

Sun's ftpd daemon can be subjected to a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in NIS+, in Sun's rpc.nisd program.

Buffer overflow in BNU UUCP daemon (uucpd) through long hostnames.

Buffer overflows in Sun libnsl allow root access.
