SuSE has announced that they will be discontinuing support for SuSE Linux version 6.4 after June 17, 2002.
here is a bug in the BIND9 name server that is triggered when processing certain types of DNS replies. When this happens an assertion will fail, and named will log a message to the system log before exiting.
Tcpdump decodes certain packets such as AFS requests in a wrong way resulting in a buffer overflow.
A remote exploitable format string vulnerability was found in the logging routines of the dynamic DNS code of dhcpd. This vulnerability allows an attacker, usually within the LAN served by the DHCP server, to get remote root access to the host running dhcpd.
A buffer overflow could be triggered by an malicious ftp server while the client parses the PASV ftp command. An attacker who control an ftp server to which a client using lukemftp is connected can gain remote access to the clients machine with the privileges of the user running lukeftp.
The SuSE Security Team discovered a vulnerability that allows local attackers to destroy the contents of these files or to extend the group privileges of certain users. This is possible by setting evil filesize limits before invoking one of the programs modifying the system files.
It is possible for remote attackers to feed this script with evil data via spoofed DHCP replies for example. This way ifup-dhcp could be tricked into executing arbitrary commands as root.
An attacker could send a maliciously formated image file to trigger a Denial-of-Service attack or even execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine.
The input used to create the password prompt is user controlled and not properly length-checked before copied to certain heap locations. This allows local attackers to overflow the heap of sudo, thus executing arbitrary commands as root.
Within the cistron package, a buffer overflow in the digest calculation function and miscalculations of attribute lengths have been fixed which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the system running the radius server.
Several bugs could be triggered in the ucd-snmpd code by using this testing suite. These bugs lead to remote denial-of-service attacks and may possibly exploited to break system security remotely.
An error in a decompression routine can corrupt the internal data structures of malloc by a double call to the free() function. If the data processed by the compression library is provided from an untrusted source, it may be possible for an attacker to interfere with the process using the zlib routines.

Joost Pol discovered an off-by-one bug in a routine in the openssh code for checking channel IDs.
The widely used proxy-server squid contains a heap overflow in one of its URL constructing functions. Incorrect length-calculations for the user and passwd fields in ftp-URLs turned out to be the origin of the problem.
Multiple critical remote vulnerabilities exist in several versions of PHP. Several flaws in the way PHP handles multipart/form-data POST requests have been found.
We re-release SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2002:005 with the new announcement ID SuSE-SA:2002:006 due to minor packaging errors that can result in a malfunction of the printing subsystem.
The buffer overflow could be exploited by a remote attacker as long as their IP address is allowed to connect to the CUPS server. This advisory has been retracted due to errors in the binary packages.
There exist several signedness bugs within the rsync program which allow remote attackers to write 0-bytes to almost arbitrary stack-locations, therefore being able to control the programflow and obtaining a shell remotely.
The at command may crash as a result of a surplus call to free(). The cause of the crash is a heap corruption that is exploitable under certain circumstances since the /usr/bin/at command is installed setuid root.
