High

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: IBM AIX versions 5.1.0 through 5.3.0

Description: The issue allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the PATH environment variable to point to a malicious "uname" program. This malicious program is executed from lsvpd after lsvpd has been invoked by invscout.

Recommendations: For IBM AIX versions 5.1.0 through 5.3.0, consider restricting modifications to the PATH environment variable to prevent pointing to malicious programs until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the execution of uname programs from untrusted paths.
