Stack-based buffer overflow in (1) backupsh and (2) authsh in SCO Openserver 5.0.7 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable.

Buffer overflow in nwprint in SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in (1) termsh, (2) atcronsh, and (3) auditsh in SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable.

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.

The NFS mountd service on SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.3, 7.1.4, and 7.0.1, and possibly other versions, when run from inetd, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a series of requests, which causes inetd to launch a separate process for each request.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in MMDF on OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7, and possibly other operating systems, may allow attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a core dump.
