A sparsely worded advisory was released by IBM on May 24, 2000 announcing a filesystem vulnerability in multiple versions of AIX. While the advisory is purposefully ambiguous as to the exact nature of this problem it states the problem has the effect of unauthorized file access. It states that both remote users via NFS mounts and local users may under some conditions gain read/write access to files which they do not own or otherwise should not be able to access.
