Description:
A weakness has been reported in HP DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions.
The weakness is caused due to the default user having read and write privileges (W:RWED) for the "OSIT$NAMES" logical name table. This can be exploited to modify the "OSIT$NAMES" table without having SYSNAM privileges.
