Description:
SGI has reported a vulnerability in IRIX, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate their privileges on a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in "/usr/lib/iaf/scheme" when a user logs in and certain environment variables are set. Successful exploitation may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code with "root" privileges.
The vulnerability has been reported in all versions of IRIX 6.5 prior to version 6.5.21.
