Demultiplexing And How It Works

CVE-2000-1099 (jdk)
Java Runtime Environment in Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2.2_05 and earlier can allow an untrusted Java class to call into a disallowed class, which could allow an attacker to escape the Java sandbox and conduct unauthorized activities.
CVE-2001-0497 (bind)
dnskeygen in BIND 8.2.4 and earlier, and dnssec-keygen in BIND 9.1.2 and earlier, set insecure permissions for a HMAC-MD5 shared secret key file used for DNS Transactional Signatures (TSIG), which allows attackers to obtain the keys and perform dynamic DNS updates.
CVE-2001-0907 (linux_kernel)
Linux kernel 2.2.1 through 2.2.19, and 2.4.1 through 2.4.10, allows local users to cause a denial of service via a series of deeply nested symlinks, which causes the kernel to spend extra time when trying to access the link.
