VULHUB ™

The 'piomkapqd' utility is a component of the AIX printing subsystem. By default, it is installed setgid and owned by the 'printk' group. 'piomkapqd' contains a locally exploitable stack overrun condition in it's handling of command line parameters. Local users may be able to gain group 'printk' privileges if this vulnerability is exploited. It may be possible to elevate to root from this point by exploiting vulnerabilities in other components of the printing subsystem.
