Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM AIX versions 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1 VIOS versions 2.2.x

Description The issue allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted DBGCMD LQUERYLV environment-variable value when running the lquerylv command. This could potentially allow a local user to gain root privileges.

Recommendations For IBM AIX versions 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, consider restricting access to the lquerylv command until a patch is available. For VIOS versions 2.2.x, avoid using the DBGCMD LQUERYLV environment variable in the lquerylv command until the issue is resolved. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the lquerylv command until a patch is available.
