TITLE:
HP Tru64 Unix dtmail Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA22528

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22528/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
HP Tru64 UNIX 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/2/
HP Tru64 UNIX 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/6/

DESCRIPTION:
Netragard has reported a vulnerability in HP Tru64 Unix, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in dtmail when
processing arguments to the "-a" command line option. This can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long
string.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with
"mail" group privileges.

SOLUTION:
Apply ERP kits.
