Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM AIX, which can be exploited by malicious, local users and malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
1) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the NFSv4 Kerberos credential cache. This can be exploited by a local user to access a Kerberized network share without authorisation.
2) An error exists due the nfs_portmon tunable not being correctly utilised in NFSv4. This can be exploited to access network shares protected by nfs_portmon without authorisation.
The vulnerabilities are reported in AIX 5.3 and 6.1.
