Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
libX11 on Caldera Open UNIX 8.0.0
libX11 on UnixWare 7.1.1
Description
A buffer overflow issue in the X11 library allows local users to gain root privileges by providing a long -xrm argument to certain programs. This can be exploited through programs such as dtterm or xterm.
Recommendations
For libX11 on Caldera Open UNIX 8.0.0, consider restricting access to the dtterm and xterm programs until a fix is available.
For libX11 on UnixWare 7.1.1, avoid using the -xrm argument in dtterm and xterm to minimize the risk of exploitation.
