Description:
Christer Olberg has reported some vulnerabilities in SCO OpenServer, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to a boundary errors in the nwclient, nwcancel, nwlpstat, and nwlpadmin utilities when processing command line arguments. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by passing an overly long argument.
Successful exploitation may grant "lp" group privileges.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 5.0.6 and 5.0.7. Other versions may also be affected.
