    Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Boinc Forum 5.10.20 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) id parameter to forum_forum.php, or the search_string parameter to forum_text_search_action.php in a (2) titles or (3) bodies search.

  • Format string vulnerability in Berkeley parallel make (pmake) 2.1.33 and earlier allows a local user to gain root privileges via format specifiers in the check argument of a shell definition.

  • Buffer overflow in Berkeley parallel make (pmake) 2.1.33 and earlier allows a local user to gain root privileges via a long check argument of a shell definition.

  • nviboot boot script in the Debian nvi package allows local users to delete files via malformed entries in vi.recover.
