TITLE:
HP Tru64 Process Environment Disclosure Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24041

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24041/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

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

DESCRIPTION:
Andrea "bunker" Purificato has reported a security issue in HP Tru64,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of
potentially sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the "/usr/ucb/ps" command
revealing the environment variables and values of all processes to an
unprivileged user. This can potentially reveal certain information on
processes that belong to the root user.

This is similar to:
SA19426

The vulnerability is reported in HP Tru64 / OSF1 v5.1 1885. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
