Discussion

IBM AIX Configuration Commands Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

IBM AIX is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.

Attackers who have 'system' group privileges can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code using superuser privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

These versions are affected:

AIX 5.2.0.85 through 5.2.0.105
AIX 5.3.0.40 through 5.3.0.61
