SCO OpenServer deliver Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 (and possibly earlier versions) ships with several suid bin executables used in printer administration and email-related tasks.

One of these utilities is 'deliver', a component which supplies mail delivery services under MMDF.

'deliver' contains a confirmed locally exploitable buffer overflow condition present in the handling of command-line parameters.

If properly exploited, this can yield user 'bin' privileges to the attacker.
