CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in IBM AIX up to 6.1.2 (Operating System). This affects the function _tt_internal_realpath of the component ToolTalk. 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. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the _tt_internal_realpath function in the ToolTalk library (libtt.a) in IBM AIX 5.2.0, 5.3.0, 5.3.7 through 5.3.10, and 6.1.0 through 6.1.3, when the rpc.ttdbserver daemon is enabled in /etc/inetd.conf, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long XDR-encoded ASCII string to remote procedure 15.

The bug was discovered 06/17/2009. The weakness was released 08/10/2009 by Adriano Lima (Website). The advisory is shared at vupen.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-2727 since 08/10/2009. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 06/05/2024). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product decreasing in the near future.

A public exploit has been developed in Ruby. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as highly functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2442 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 41917 (AIX 6.1 : X11.Dt.ToolTalk (U828611)), 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 even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (51207), Exploit-DB (16930), Tenable (41917), SecurityFocus (BID 35419†) and OSVDB (55151†).
