Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in HP-UX, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a design error in the Single Logical Screen daemon (SLSd) and can be exploited to create or overwrite arbitrary files with superuser privileges via a specially crafted packet sent to the daemon.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code by e.g. overwriting .rhosts, cron scripts, or other files used for authentication.
The vulnerability is reported in versions 11.11i and 10.20. Other versions may also be affected.
