Integer overflow in the IopfCompleteRequest API in the kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for GEARAspiWDM.sys 2.0.7.5 in Gear Software CD DVD Filter driver before 4.001.7, as used in other products including Apple iTunes and multiple Symantec and Norton products, which allows local users to gain privileges via repeated IoAttachDevice IOCTL calls to \\.\GEARAspiWDMDevice in this GEARAspiWDM.sys. However, the root cause is the integer overflow in the API call itself.
Integer signedness error in the ttioctl function in bsd/kern/tty.c in the xnu kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system shutdown) or gain privileges via a crafted TIOCSETD ioctl request.

Wi-Fi in Apple iOS before 10.3.1 does not prevent CVE-2017-6956 stack buffer overflow exploitation via a crafted access point. NOTE: because an operating system could potentially isolate itself from CVE-2017-6956 exploitation without patching Broadcom firmware functions, there is a separate CVE ID for the operating-system behavior.
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges

In Zsh before 5.8, attackers able to execute commands can regain privileges dropped by the --no-PRIVILEGED option. Zsh fails to overwrite the saved uid, so the original privileges can be restored by executing MODULE_PATH=/dir/with/module zmodload with a module that calls setuid().
Untrusted search path vulnerability in OpenBase SQL 10.0 and earlier, as used in Apple Xcode 2.2 2.2 and earlier and possibly other products, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a modified PATH that references a malicious gzip program, which is executed by gnutar with certain TAR_OPTIONS environment variable settings, when gnutar is invoked by OpenBase.
EMC Avamar Client 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x on HP-UX and Mac OS X, and the EMC Avamar plugin 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x for Oracle, uses world-writable permissions for cache directories, which allows local users to gain privileges via an unspecified symlink attack.

Netskope client prior to 89.x on macOS is impacted by a local privilege escalation vulnerability. The XPC implementation of nsAuxiliarySvc process does not perform validation on new connections before accepting the connection. Thus any low privileged user can connect and call external methods defined in XPC service as root, elevating their privilege to the highest level.
In FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE before r350222, 12.0-RELEASE before 12.0-RELEASE-p8, 11.3-STABLE before r350223, 11.3-RELEASE before 11.3-RELEASE-p1, and 11.2-RELEASE before 11.2-RELEASE-p12, rights transmitted over a domain socket did not properly release a reference on transmission error allowing a malicious user to cause the reference counter to wrap, forcing a free event. This could allow a malicious local user to gain root privileges or escape from a jail.
In FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE after r338618 and before r343786, 12.0-STABLE before r343781, and 12.0-RELEASE before 12.0-RELEASE-p3, a bug in the reference count implementation for UNIX domain sockets can cause a file structure to be incorrectly released potentially allowing a malicious local user to gain root privileges or escape from a jail.

Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) for Mac OS X 10.2.8 and later does not drop privileges on the remote machine while installing certain applications, which allows local users to bypass authentication and gain privileges by selecting the icon during installation. NOTE: it could be argued that the issue is not in Remote Desktop itself, but in applications that are installed while using it.
Integer overflow vulnerability in the i386_set_ldt call in FreeBSD 5.5, and possibly earlier versions down to 5.2, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-4178.

The Mach kernel, as used in operating systems including (1) Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7 and (2) OpenStep before 4.2, allows local users to gain privileges via a parent process that forces an exception in a setuid child and uses Mach exception ports to modify the child's thread context and task address space in a way that causes the child to call a parent-controlled function.
The i386_set_ldt system call in the kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 does not properly handle call gates, which allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving the creation of a call gate entry.

CUPS 1.4.4, when running in certain Linux distributions such as Debian GNU/Linux, stores the web interface administrator key in /var/run/cups/certs/0 using certain permissions, which allows local users in the lpadmin group to read or write arbitrary files as root by leveraging the web interface.
The standardrestorer binary in Arq 5.10 and earlier for Mac allows local users to write to arbitrary files and consequently gain root privileges via a crafted restore path.
The dynamic linker (dyld) in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.7 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via an "improperly handled condition" that leads to use of "dangerous paths," probably related to an untrusted search path vulnerability.

An exploitable privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Wacom, driver version 6.3.32-3, update helper service in the start/stopLaunchDProcess command. The command takes a user-supplied string argument and executes launchctl under root context. A user with local access can use this vulnerability to raise load arbitrary launchD agents. An attacker would need local access to the machine for a successful exploit.
opiepasswd in One-Time Passwords in Everything (OPIE) in FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p22 through 6.1-STABLE before 20060322 uses the getlogin function to determine the invoking user account, which might allow local users to configure OPIE access to the root account and possibly gain root privileges if a root shell is permitted by the configuration of the wheel group or sshd.
