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 through 5.3

Description: A buffer overflow issue exists in multiple "p" commands, potentially allowing local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments to various hard-linked files, including penable, pdisable, pstart, phold, pdelay, and pshare.

Recommendations: For IBM AIX versions 5.1 through 5.3, consider restricting access to the vulnerable "p" commands until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using long command line arguments with these commands to minimize the risk of exploitation.
