83140 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 83140 - Disclosed: 1996-12-20 Description: IBM AIX is prone to a flaw in the way it loads libraries. The /usr/games/fortune binary uses a fixed path to look for specific files or libraries. This path includes directories that may not be trusted or under user control. By placing a custom version of the file or library in the path, the program will load it before the legitimate version. This allows a local attacker to inject custom code that will be run with the privilege of the program or user executing the program.	1996-12-20	IBM AIX fortune LIBPATH Path Subversion Local Privilege Escalation
11454 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 11454 - Disclosed: 1996-12-18 Description: (Description Provided by CVE) : Oversized ICMP ping packets can result in a denial of service, aka Ping o' Death.	1996-12-18	Multiple Vendor Oversized ICMP Ping Packet DoS (Ping of Death)
6085 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 6085 - Disclosed: 1996-12-16 Description: A local overflow exists in FreeBSD. Its ppp fails to validate input for the HOME environment variable, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code to gain root privileges resulting in a loss of integrity.	1996-12-16	FreeBSD ppp HOME Environment Local Overflow
11505 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 11505 - Disclosed: 1996-12-16 Description: (Description Provided by CVE) : Buffer overflow in Vixie Cron library up to version 3.0 allows local users to obtain root access via a long environmental variable.	1996-12-16	Vixie Cron Long Environment Variable Local Overflow
3101 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 3101 - Disclosed: 1996-12-12 Description: Lotus Domino contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to access databases via HTTP. By manipulating the URL of a document, an attacker can change key components to edit or delete web server content and all data entered is done so under another user ID.	1996-12-12	IBM Lotus Domino Predictable URI Remote Arbitrary Document Access
17001 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 17001 - Disclosed: 1996-12-11 Description: Unknown / Incomplete	1996-12-11	Sendmail initgroups() Privilege Drop Failure Issue
83565 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 83565 - Disclosed: 1996-12-10 Description: IRIX contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to gain access to unauthorized privileges. When /usr/sbin/datman is executed, the program looks for the presence of .cdplayerrc and ~/.cddb. If neither is present, the program will make a system call to manipulate database names that can be subverted to execute arbitrary commands.	1996-12-10	IRIX /usr/sbin/datman Local Privilege Escalation
55269 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 55269 - Disclosed: 1996-12-09 Description: (Description Provided by CVE) : Denial of service in Windows NT IIS server using ..\..	1996-12-09	Microsoft IIS Traversal GET Request Remote DoS

8563 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 8563 - Disclosed: 1996-12-06 Description: IRIX contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system. The issue is due to the searchbook program creating the iconbook and searchbook desktop files insecurely. It is possible for a user to use a symlink style attack to manipulate arbitrary files, resulting in a loss of integrity.	1996-12-06	IRIX Desktop searchbook Insecure Permission Privilege Escalation
6994 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 6994 - Disclosed: 1996-12-05 Description: Solaris chkperm utility contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a malicious user sets the VMSYS variable to a user writeable directory, creates a symlink to .facerc, then executes chkperm which will disclose the first five lines of the file given as an argument resulting in a loss of confidentiality.	1996-12-05	Solaris FACE chkperm VMSYS Environmental Variable Symlink Arbitrary File Disclosure
1093 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 1093 - Disclosed: 1996-12-04 Description: (Description Provided by CVE) : Command execution via shell metachars in INN daemon (innd) 1.5 using "newgroup" and "rmgroup" control messages, and others.	1996-12-04	INN Control Message Arbitrary Command Execution
1005 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 1005 - Disclosed: 1996-12-03 Description: (Description Provided by CVE) : lquerypv in AIX 4.1 and 4.2 allows local users to read arbitrary files by specifying the file in the -h command line parameter.	1996-12-03	IBM AIX lquerypv -h Arbitrary File Access
1011 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 1011 - Disclosed: 1996-12-02 Description: (Description Provided by CVE) : Buffer overflow in Korn Shell (ksh) suid_exec program on IRIX 6.x and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain root privileges.	1996-12-02	IRIX Korn Shell (ksh) suid_exec Local Overflow
83139 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 83139 - Disclosed: 1996-12-02 Description: IBM AIX contains a flaw where permissions in /usr/sbin/route are set to 4555 by default. This may allow an unprivileged local attacker to modify routing tables. This would allow them to potentially direct traffic to an alternate system under their control, potentially revealing sensitive information.	1996-12-02	IBM AIX route Unprivileged Routing Manipulation
1113 [CLOSE] OSVDB ID : 1113 - Disclosed: 1996-12-02 Description: (Description Provided by CVE) : Sendmail allows local users to write to a file and gain group permissions via a .forward or :include: file.	1996-12-02	Sendmail Group Write File Hardlink Privilege Escalation
