VULHUB ™

The HP-UX ipcs utility is allegedly prone to a locally exploitable buffer overflow condition. This is likely due to insufficient bounds checking performed on user supplied data that is copied into an internal memory buffer. This utility may be installed setgid 'sys' on vulnerable systems and could be exploited to gain these privileges. This issue was reported to affect ipcs on HP9000 Series 700/800 running HP-UX 11.00. Other versions are not affected.
