The utility slocate has a local buffer overflow vulnerability when the -r and -c switches are used. Due to this utility being setgid slocate on many default installs, slight privilege escalation is possible.

Kismet is an 802.11b wireless network sniffer. It is capable of sniffing using almost any wireless card supported in Linux, which currently divide into cards handled by libpcap and the Linux-Wireless extensions (such as Cisco Aironet), and cards supported by the Wlan-NG project which use the Prism/2 chipset (such as Linksys, Dlink, and Zoom). Besides Linux, Kismet also supports FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X systems. Features Multiple packet capture sources, Runtime network sorting by AP MAC address (bssid), IP block detection via ARP and DHCP packet dissection, Cisco product detection via CDP, Ethereal and tcpdump compatible file logging, Airsnort-compatible "interesting" (cryptographically weak) logging, Secure SUID behavior, GPS devices and wireless devices fingerprinting. Kismet also includes a tool called gpsmap that can be used to create maps from logged GPS data. Full changelog here.

radmind is a suite of Unix command-line tools and a server designed to remotely administer the file systems of multiple Unix machines. Radmind operates as a tripwire which is able to detect changes to any managed filesystem object, e.g. files, directories, links, etc. However, radmind goes further than just integrity checking: once a change is detected, radmind can optionally reverse the change.

The at utility in Solaris has name handling and race condition vulnerabilities. Using the -r switch to remove a job allows an attacker to remove any file on the filesystem as root. Although at filters out absolute paths, a simple ../ directory traversal maneuver allows an attacker to remove files out of the allowed boundary.

PlatinumFTPserver, the server engine that runs as an application on Windows 9x and a service under NT/2K/XP, has a directory traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to enter directories that reside outside the bounding FTP root directory. Another vulnerability exists which allows an attacker to commit a DoS against the server. Version affected: 1.0.7. Version Unaffected: 1.0.8.

Hypermail 2, a popular tool that converts mails into html, has two buffer overflows. One exists in the hypermail program itself and another is in the CGI program mail. The overflow in the main program can be overflowed by sending an email while the CGI program can be overflowed by a DNS server being populated with faulty information. Versions affected: 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5, possibly others. 2.1.6 is not affected.
