Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: HP-UX versions 11.00 through 11.11

Description: The issue allows local users to create arbitrary world-writeable files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/.kmmodreg lock and /tmp/kmpath.tmp temporary files. This is related to the kmmodreg component.

Recommendations: For HP-UX versions 11.00 through 11.11, consider restricting access to the kmmodreg component to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the kmmodreg functionality until a patch is available.
