Unspecified vulnerability in NWFS.SYS in Novell Client for Windows 4.91 SP4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, possibly related to IOCTL requests that overwrite arbitrary memory.
IBM Lotus Notes 8 for Linux before 8.0.1 uses (1) unspecified weak permissions for the installation kit obtained through a Notes 8 download and (2) 0777 permissions for the installdata file that is created by setup.sh, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.
The Chroot server in rMake 1.0.11 creates a /dev/zero device file with read/write permissions for the rMake user and the same minor device number as /dev/port, which might allow local users to gain root privileges.
The Message Queuing (aka MSMQ) service for Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2, Server 2003 SP2, and Vista Gold does not properly validate unspecified IOCTL request data from user mode before passing this data to kernel mode, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted request, aka "MSMQ Null Pointer Vulnerability."
In LockTaskController.lockKeyguardIfNeeded of the LockTaskController.java, there was a difference in the handling of the default case between the WindowManager and the Settings. This could lead to a local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android-7.0 Android-7.1.1 Android-7.1.2 Android-8.0 Android-8.1 Android-9. Android ID: A-127605586.
The Winbind nss_info extension (nsswitch/idmap_ad.c) in idmap_ad.so in Samba 3.0.25 through 3.0.25c, when the "winbind nss info" option is set to rfc2307 or sfu, grants all local users the privileges of gid 0 when the (1) RFC2307 or (2) Services for UNIX (SFU) primary group attribute is not defined.
The AMD ATI atidsmxx.sys 3.0.502.0 driver on Windows Vista allows local users to bypass the driver signing policy, write to arbitrary kernel memory locations, and thereby gain privileges via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by "Purple Pill".
Intel Desktop and Intel Mobile Boards with BIOS firmware DQ35JO, DQ35MP, DP35DP, DG33FB, DG33BU, DG33TL, MGM965TW, D945GCPE, and DX38BT allows local administrators with ring 0 privileges to gain additional privileges and modify code that is running in System Management Mode, or access hypervisory memory as demonstrated at Black Hat 2008 by accessing certain remapping registers in Xen 3.3.
hplip.postinst in HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) 2.7.7 and 2.8.2 on Ubuntu allows local users to change the ownership of arbitrary files via unspecified manipulations in advance of an HPLIP installation or upgrade by an administrator, related to the product's attempt to correct the ownership of its configuration files within home directories.
crontab in bos.rte.cron in IBM AIX 6.1.0 through 6.1.2 allows local users with aix.system.config.cron authorization to gain privileges by launching an editor.
The RPCSS service in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2 does not properly implement isolation among a set of distinct processes that (1) all run under the NetworkService account or (2) all run under the LocalService account, which allows local users to gain privileges by accessing the resources of one of the processes, aka "Windows RPCSS Service Isolation Vulnerability."
pam_mount 0.10 through 0.45, when luserconf is enabled, does not verify mountpoint and source ownership before mounting a user-defined volume, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a local mount.
Unspecified vulnerability in the (1) Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 and 3.5, and (2) Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to "certain setuid binary files."
OpenSSH 4.3p2, and probably other versions, allows local users to hijack forwarded X connections by causing ssh to set DISPLAY to :10, even when another process is listening on the associated port, as demonstrated by opening TCP port 6010 (IPv4) and sniffing a cookie sent by Emacs.
Eterm 0.9.4 opens a terminal window on :0 if -display is not specified and the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, which might allow local users to hijack X11 connections. NOTE: realistic attack scenarios require that the victim enters a command on the wrong machine.
The script program in FreeBSD 5.0 through 7.0-PRERELEASE invokes openpty, which creates a pseudo-terminal with world-readable and world-writable permissions when it is not run as root, which allows local users to read data from the terminal of the user running script.
PostgreSQL 8.1 and probably later versions, when local trust authentication is enabled and the Database Link library (dblink) is installed, allows remote attackers to access arbitrary accounts and execute arbitrary SQL queries via a dblink host parameter that proxies the connection from 127.0.0.1.
Buffer overflow in Macrovision SafeDisc secdrv.sys before 4.3.86.0, as shipped in Microsoft Windows XP SP2, XP Professional x64 and x64 SP2, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 x64 and x64 SP2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary memory locations and gain privileges via a crafted argument to a METHOD_NEITHER IOCTL, as originally discovered in the wild.
ZoneAlarm Pro 7.0.362.000 does not properly validate certain parameters to System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) function handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain privileges via the (1) NtCreatePort and (2) NtDeleteFile kernel SSDT hooks, a partial regression of CVE-2007-2083.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in db2pd in IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) 8 before FixPak 16 and 9 before Fix Pack 4 allows local users to gain root privileges via a modified DB2INSTANCE environment variable that points to a malicious library. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2008-0697.
PHP before 5.2.5 allows local users to bypass protection mechanisms configured through php_admin_value or php_admin_flag in httpd.conf by using ini_set to modify arbitrary configuration variables, a different issue than CVE-2006-4625.
