Directory traversal vulnerability in pkgadd in SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 before p534589 allows local users to create or append to arbitrary files via ".." sequences in an unspecified environment variable, probably PKGINST.

Directory traversal vulnerability in (1) pkgadd and (2) pkgrm in SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 allows local users to gain privileges via unknown vectors.

Buffer overflow in the Strcmp function in the XKEYBOARD extension in X Window System X11R6.4 and earlier, as used in SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 and Sun Solaris 8 through 10, allows local users to gain privileges via a long _XKB_CHARSET environment variable value.

Buffer overflow in uidadmin in SCO Unixware 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a -S (scheme) argument that specifies a large file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2001-1063.

RPC portmapper (rpcbind) in SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 m5, 7.1.3 mp5, and 7.1.4 mp2 allows remote attackers or local users to cause a denial of service (lack of response) via multiple invalid portmap requests.

The X server in SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4 does not properly create socket directories in /tmp, which could allow attackers to hijack local sockets.

Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.
