VULHUB ™

It has been reported that the HPUX wall executable may be prone to a buffer overflow condition. This buffer overflow is alleged to be triggered when an excessive amount of data is redirected into wall as a message intended to be broadcast. It may be possible for remote attackers to corrupt sensitive regions of memory with attacker-supplied values, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code.
