Incomplete List of UNIX Vulnerabilities

Here lies my Incomplete List of Known Security Problems in UNIX-like systems. This list and its pointers are provided to help system administrators secure their systems and to encourage operating system developers and system programmers to write better code (see Matt Bishop's Writing Safe Setuid Programs page for the real details on the subject). References to advisories and other documentation in the "Related Bulletins" column are generally listed most-recent first.

See also the NIST Compujter Security Division's ICAT vulnerability database that is now free for commercial and public use and may be downloaded as a Microsoft Access database. The ICAT database includes mappings to the CVE vulnerability enumeration database at http://cve.mitre.org/.

Don't count on this list to provide pointers to all known vulnerabilities. I do not usually list vulnerabilities due to add-on programs like wu-ftpd, pro-ftpd, etc. I've tried to collect and arrange pointers to various advisories where applicable. Since summer 1997, I have also been including references to FreeBSD, Sun, and SGI advisories, as those are easily available on the Internet (a Bronx cheer to HP, which hides their security information behind an absolutely ridiculous WWW interface that requires registration and a first-born son before allowing access).

Concerned UNIX administrators are well advised to check CERT, CIAC, bugtraq archives and any available security resources for their particular operating system.

Note that not all sendmail advisories are included in this list. Security vulnerabilities are found in sendmail on an almost regular basis. As a result, you should either:


Be sure to subscribe to the CERT Advisories mail list, CIAC bulletin mail list, or frequently check CERT Advisories and CIAC Bulletins for current published sendmail advisories.

Please report mistakes or send suggestions to Guy Helmer. Use in good health, and may your systems be secure!
