Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenVMS for Integrity Servers, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An unspecified error when using the accelerated "glBitmap()" function on the embedded graphics hardware can be exploited to cause a system crash.
2) An error when using the "glBitmap()" function with width or height set to 0 can result in an incorrect DMA packet, which can be exploited to cause a system crash or hang.
3) An unspecified error exists within the [SYSLIB]DECW$SERVER_DIX.EXE image when calling the Kerberos API on multi CPU systems, which can be exploited to cause a crash.
The vulnerabilities are reported in OpenVMS for Integrity Servers V8.3. Vulnerabilities #1 and #2 are also reported in OpenVMS for Integrity Servers V8.2-1.
