The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple buffer overflows in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allow local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to the (1) lchangevg, (2) ldeletepv, (3) putlvodm, (4) lvaryoffvg, and (5) lvgenminor programs in bos.rte.lvm; and the (6) tellclvmd program in bos.clvm.enh.

The issue has been introduced in 10/01/2002. The weakness was presented 05/09/2007 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at xforce.iss.net. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2008-0586 since 02/04/2008. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 08/04/2019). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product decreasing in the near future.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1681 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 30835 (AIX 5.3 TL 6 : bos.rte.lvm (U811870)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family AIX Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

A possible mitigation has been published 4 weeks after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (39907) and Tenable (30835). See 3566, 3562, 3563 and 3564 for similar entries.
