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 5.2 through 5.3

Description The issue concerns multiple stack-based buffer overflows that allow local users to gain privileges. This can be achieved by providing a long argument to either the -p option to lqueryvg or the -V option to lquerypv.

Recommendations For IBM AIX versions 5.2 and 5.3, consider restricting access to the lqueryvg and lquerypv commands until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the -p option with lqueryvg and the -V option with lquerypv with long arguments to minimize the risk of exploitation.
