Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM AIX, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
1) A boundary error in the "/usr/sbin/ndp" setuid root program can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation requires that the "netcd" daemon is running.
2) A boundary error in the privileged "/usr/sbin/autoconf6" command can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that RBAC is used and that the attacker has the "aix.network.config.tcpip" authorization.
3) An error in the privileged "/usr/bin/enq" command can be exploited to delete arbitrary files, if "/etc/qconfig" defines a print queue.
4) An error in the privileged "/usr/bin/crontab" command can be exploited to gain escalated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the "aix.system.config.cron" authorization.
The vulnerabilities are reported in AIX version 6.1.
