Description:
HP has reported a vulnerability in Tru64 Unix, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate privileges on a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in a function called by dtmailpr, which is installed suid. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow allowing execution of arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
The vulnerability affects all currently supported versions of HP Tru64 UNIX running CDE including versions 5.1B, 5.1A, 5.1, 4.0G, and 4.0F.
