Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HP Tru64 UNIX versions 4.0f through 5.1a

Description A buffer overflow issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a long XKB CHARSET environment variable to certain programs. This can be exploited through programs such as dxpause, dxconsole, or dtsession.

Recommendations For HP Tru64 UNIX versions 4.0f through 5.1a, consider restricting access to the XKB CHARSET environment variable to prevent exploitation until a fix is available. Additionally, limiting the execution of dxpause, dxconsole, and dtsession to trusted users can help minimize the risk.
