Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
SGI has acknowledged multiple, older vulnerabilities in IRIX. These can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system or escalate their privileges.

An input validation error in the html2ps print filter can be exploited by malicious users to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable system with user "lp" privileges.

An error in the "Safe.pm" module can result in safe compartments being unsafe when re-used.

The gzexe and znew scripts in gzip create temporary files insecurely, which can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

Boundary errors in "gr_osview" and "libdesktopicon.so" can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a buffer overflow and thereby potentially gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerabilities affect all versions prior to 6.5.23.
