VULHUB ™

A vulnerability has been discovered in the HP-UX implementation of UUCP. The problem is likely due to insufficient bounds checking of user-supplied data. An attacker may exploit this issue to overwrite sensitive locations in memory, it may be possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code. As UUCP is installed setuid root this would result in the execution of attacker-supplied commands with the privileges of the superuser.
