acroread in Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.05 on Linux allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

Buffer overflow in Novell NetWare Client 4.80 through 4.83 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using ping, traceroute, or a similar utility to force the client to resolve a large hostname.

Buffer overflow in WorldClient.cgi in WorldClient in Alt-N Technologies MDaemon 5.0.5.0 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long folder name (NewFolder parameter).

Astaro Security Linux 2.016 creates world-writable files and directories, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files.

The System Request menu in IBM AS/400 allows local users to list valid user accounts by viewing the object names that are type USRPRF.

BasiliX 1.1.0 saves attachments in a world readable /tmp/BasiliX directory, which allows local users to read other users' attachments.

The attachment capability in Compose Mail in BasiliX Webmail 1.1.0 does not check whether the attachment was uploaded by the user or came from a HTTP POST, which could allow local users to steal sensitive information like a password file.

Buffer overflow in backup utility of Microsoft Windows 95 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing a filename with a long extension to be placed in a folder to be backed up.

Buffer overflow in the diagnostics library in AIX allows local users to "cause data and instructions to be overwritten" via a long DIAGNOSTICS environment variable.

BindView NetInventory 1.0, when used with NetRC 1.0, allows local users to read sensitive information (passwords) by deleting the HOSTCFG._NI file and forcing an audit, which rewrites the HOSTCFG._NI to HOSTCFG.INI and stores the passwords in cleartext until the audit is complete.

procfs on FreeBSD before 4.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by removing a file that the fstatfs function refers to.

The web interface for Webmin 0.92 does not properly quote or filter script code in files that are displayed to the interface, which allows local users to execute script and possibly steal cookies by inserting the script into certain files or fields, such as a real user name entry in the passwd file.

Webmin 0.92, when installed from an RPM, creates /var/webmin with insecure permissions (world readable), which could allow local users to read the root user's cookie-based authentication credentials and possibly hijack the root user's session using the credentials.

pkg_add in FreeBSD 4.2 through 4.4 creates a temporary directory with world-searchable permissions, which may allow local users to modify world-writable parts of the package during installation.

HP-UX 11.11 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock), due to a "file system weakness" that is possibly via an mmap() system call and performing an I/O operation using data from the mapped buffer on the file descriptor for the mapped file.

The virtual memory management system in FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE and earlier does not properly check the existence of a VM object during page invalidation, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by calling msync on an unaccessed memory map created with MAP_ANON and MAP_NOSYNC flags.

The linux 2.4 kernel before 2.4.19 assumes that the fninit instruction clears all registers, which could lead to an information leak on processors that do not clear all relevant SSE registers.

Linux kernel 2.2.x allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using the mmap() function with a PROT_READ parameter to access non-readable memory pages through the /proc/pid/mem interface.

The Linux kernel 2.4.20 and earlier, and 2.5.x, when running on x86 systems, allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) via the emulation mode, which does not properly clear TF and NT EFLAGs.

Mac OS X 10.2.2 allows local users to read files that only allow write access via the map_fd() Mach system call.

The libthread library (libthread.so.1) for Solaris 2.5.1 through 8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) of an application that uses libthread by causing the application to wait for a certain mutex.

Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by setting the sd_struiowrq variable in the struioget function to null, which triggers a null dereference.

nullmailer 1.00RC5 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service via an email to a local user that does not exist, which generates an error that causes nullmailer to stop sending mail to all users.

A regression error in the Debian distributions of the apache-ssl package (before 1.3.9 on Debian 2.2, and before 1.3.26 on Debian 3.0), for Apache 1.3.27 and earlier, allows local users to read or modify the Apache password file via a symlink attack on temporary files when the administrator runs (1) htpasswd or (2) htdigest, a re-introduction of a vulnerability that was originally identified and addressed by CVE-2001-0131.

SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows local users to cause a denial of service via an rcp call on /proc.

tkmail before 4.0beta9-8.1 allows local users to create or overwrite files as users via a symlink attack on temporary files.
