Description:
HP has acknowledged a very old vulnerability in ftp for HP-UX, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the ftp client when handling filenames. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands on a user's system via a file with a specially crafted filename beginning with a pipe character ("|").
Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into retrieving a malicious file.
The vulnerability affects HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.04, B.11.11, and B.11.22.
