Description

Andrea "bunker" Purificato has reported a security issue in HP Tru64, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of potentially sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the "/usr/ucb/ps" command revealing the environment variables and values of all processes to an unprivileged user. This can potentially reveal certain information on processes that belong to the root user.

This is similar to:
SA19426

The vulnerability is reported in HP Tru64 / OSF1 v5.1 1885. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
