Security hole in INN  07 December 1999 
The innd wrapper inndstart could be tricked to execute arbitrary code by editing the environment (INNCONF), by modifing the inn.conf file or by overflowing a buffer.
 
Security hole in XFree86  07 December 1999 
XFree86 creates a directory in /tmp with the name .X11-unix for the X sockets and sets the directory to mode 1777. If an attacker creates a symlink with that filename and points it to another directory (e.g. /root), the permissions of the target directory is set to 1777.

Security hole in Netscape Communicator's 4.5  07 December 1999 
The Netscape Communicator 4.5 comes with "talkback", a quality enhancement tool by Fullcircle (www.fullcircle.com). If the communicator crashs for any reason, the file with the name /tmp/.$UID.talkback is read in, and the pid in this file is killed. After that, the file is truncated/created without checks for {sym|hard}links and the pid of the current talkback process is written into the file.
