Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HP-UX versions B.11.00 through B.11.23

Description The issue is related to the usermod command in HP-UX. When run with certain options that involve creating a new home directory, it might change the ownership of all directories and files under the new directory. This could result in less secure permissions than intended.

Recommendations For HP-UX versions B.11.00 through B.11.23, consider restricting the use of the usermod command with options that involve creating a new home directory until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, manually verify and adjust the permissions of newly created home directories and their contents to ensure they match the intended security settings.
