A security vulnerability in the kadm5 library shipped with Solaris may
allow a remote authenticated user to command a host running
kadmind(1M) and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
kadmind process (usually 'root').
A security vulnerability in the inetd(1M) service may allow a local
unprivileged user the ability to shut down the inetd daemon process,

A number of bugs were discovered in the NDR parsing support in Samba
that is used to decode MS-RPC requests. A remote attacker could
send a carefully crafted request that would cause a heap overflow,
possibly leading to the ability to execute arbitrary code on the server.
A remote authenticated user could trigger a flaw where unescaped
user input parameters were being passed as arguments to /bin/sh.
Finally, on Samba 3.0.23d and higher, when Samba translated SID to/from
name using the Samba local list of user and group accounts, a logic
error in smbd's internal security stack could result in a transition

Darwin Streaming Server is a server technology that facilitates streaming of QuickTime data to clients
across the Internet using the industry standard RTP and RTSP protocols.
Remote exploitation of multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Apple Inc.'s Darwin Streaming Proxy
allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of running service, usually root.
Due to insufficient sanity checking, a stack-based buffer overflow could occur while trying to extract
commands from the request buffer.
The "is_command" function, located in proxy.c, lacks bounds checking when filling the 'cmd' and 'server' buffers.
Additionally, a heap-based buffer overflow could occur while processing the "trackID" values contained within
a "SETUP" request. If a request with more than 32 values is encountered, memory corruption will occur.
Apple has addressed this vulnerability by releasing version 5.5.5 of Darwin Streaming Server.

NetMail is an E-Mail and calendar system.
A vulnerability exists within the SSL version of the "NMDMC.EXE" service.
The application does not perform sufficient input validation when copying data into a fixed size stack buffer.
When processing a specially crafted request made to this service, a stack-based buffer overflow occurs leading
to corruption of program control registers saved on the stack.
So attackers might be able to execute own code with the privileges of the service.
Novell has addressed this vulnerability in the beta release of Novell NetMail 3.52f.
