4.6

Medium

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: AIX versions 4.x

Description: The issue allows a local user to gain additional privileges by creating Trojan horse programs named grep or lslv in a certain directory under the user's control. This causes lsfs to access the programs in that directory, potentially leading to privilege escalation.

Recommendations: For AIX version 4.x, consider restricting access to the lsfs command or removing execute permissions from the grep and lslv programs in user-controlled directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
