Description: Netragard has reported a vulnerability in HP Tru64 Unix, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in dtmail when processing arguments to the "-a" command line option. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long string. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with "mail" group privileges. Solution: Apply ERP kits.
