Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in HP-UX, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate privileges on a vulnerable system.
1) A boundary error within the uucp utility can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via an overly long command line argument.
2) A boundary error within the uusub utility can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by passing an overly long remote system name to the "-a" command line option.
