| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2003-0098 | HIGH | 10.0 | Mar 3, 2003 | Unknown vulnerability in apcupsd before 3.8.6, and 3.10.x before 3.10.5, allows remote attackers to gain root privileges, possibly via format strings in a request to a slave server. |
| CVE-2001-0554 | HIGH | 10.0 | Aug 14, 2001 | Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function. |
| CVE-2001-0233 | HIGH | 10.0 | Mar 26, 2001 | Buffer overflow in micq client 0.4.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via a long Description field. |
| CVE-2000-0844 | HIGH | 10.0 | Nov 14, 2000 | Some functions that implement the locale subsystem on Unix do not properly cleanse user-injected format strings, which allows local attackers to execute arbitrary commands via functions such as gettext and catopen. |
| CVE-2000-0666 | HIGH | 10.0 | Jul 16, 2000 | rpc.statd in the nfs-utils package in various Linux distributions does not properly cleanse untrusted format strings, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges. |
| CVE-2019-9972 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 7, 2022 | PhoneSystem Terminal in 3CX Phone System (Debian based installation) 16.0.0.1570 allows an authenticated attacker to run arbitrary commands with the phonesystem user privileges because of "<space><space> followed by <shift><enter>" mishandling. |
| CVE-2019-9971 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 7, 2022 | PhoneSystem Terminal in 3CX Phone System (Debian based installation) 16.0.0.1570 allows an attacker to gain root privileges by using sudo with the tcpdump command, without a password. This occurs because the -z (aka postrotate-command) option to tcpdump can be unsafe when used in conjunction with sudo. |
| CVE-2016-3062 | HIGH | 8.8 | Jun 16, 2016 | The mov_read_dref function in libavformat/mov.c in Libav before 11.7 and FFmpeg before 0.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via the entries value in a dref box in an MP4 file. |
| CVE-2002-0184 | HIGH | 7.8 | May 16, 2002 | Sudo before 1.6.6 contains an off-by-one error that can result in a heap-based buffer overflow that may allow local users to gain root privileges via special characters in the -p (prompt) argument, which are not properly expanded. |
| CVE-2001-0195 | HIGH | 7.8 | Mar 26, 2001 | sash before 3.4-4 in Debian GNU/Linux does not properly clone /etc/shadow, which makes it world-readable and could allow local users to gain privileges via password cracking. |
| CVE-2018-19200 | HIGH | 7.5 | Nov 12, 2018 | An issue was discovered in uriparser before 0.9.0. UriCommon.c allows attempted operations on NULL input via a uriResetUri* function. |

| CVE-2002-0401 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jun 18, 2002 | SMB dissector in Ethereal 0.9.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via malformed packets that cause Ethereal to dereference a NULL pointer. |
| CVE-2001-0441 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jun 27, 2001 | Buffer overflow in (1) wrapping and (2) unwrapping functions of slrn news reader before 0.9.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long message header. |

| CVE-2001-0458 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jun 27, 2001 | Multiple buffer overflows in ePerl before 2.2.14-0.7 allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. |
| CVE-2002-0839 | HIGH | 7.2 | Oct 11, 2002 | The shared memory scoreboard in the HTTP daemon for Apache 1.3.x before 1.3.27 allows any user running as the Apache UID to send a SIGUSR1 signal to any process as root, resulting in a denial of service (process kill) or possibly other behaviors that would not normally be allowed, by modifying the parent[].pid and parent[].last_rtime segments in the scoreboard. |
| CVE-2002-0062 | HIGH | 7.2 | Mar 8, 2002 | Buffer overflow in ncurses 5.0, and the ncurses4 compatibility package as used in Red Hat Linux, allows local users to gain privileges, related to "routines for moving the physical cursor and scrolling." |
| CVE-2002-0004 | HIGH | 7.2 | Feb 27, 2002 | Heap corruption vulnerability in the "at" program allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a malformed execution time, which causes at to free the same memory twice. |
