Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: HP OpenVMS versions 8.3 and earlier

Description: A buffer overflow issue in the NET$CSMACD.EXE module allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a machine crash. This can be achieved by executing the "MCR MCL SHOW CSMA-CD Port * All" command, which overwrites a Non-Paged Pool Packet.

Recommendations: For HP OpenVMS versions 8.3 and earlier, consider restricting access to the NET$CSMACD.EXE module to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the "MCR MCL SHOW CSMA-CD Port * All" command until a fix is available.
