HP-UX is the Unix Operating System variant distributed and maintained by HP. HP has announced that an unspecified buffer overflow exists in HP-UX. The problem is reported as a core dump that occurs under certain conditions. As lpadmin is typically installed with setuid privileges, it could be possible for a local attacker to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary instructions with elevated privileges.
