VULHUB ™

UnixWare is the variant of the Unix Operating System distributed and maintained by Caldera. A buffer overflow in the su binary has been discovered in the UnixWare operating system. By supplying a long argument to the program, it's possible to overwrite stack variables, including the return address. This makes it possible for a local user to execute arbitrary code as root, potentially gaining an interactive root shell.
