Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM AIX versions 6.1 through 7.1

Description The issue is related to multiple buffer overflows in the mkque and mkquedev functions within the bos.rte.printers component. This allows local users who are members of the printq group to potentially gain privileges.

Recommendations For IBM AIX versions 6.1 through 7.1, consider restricting access to the mkque and mkquedev functions until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limiting membership to the printq group can help minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
