Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in HP HP-UX 10.10/10.20/10.24/11.00/11.4 (Operating System) and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the component dtterm. The manipulation of the argument -tn with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Buffer overflow in dtterm in HP-UX 11.0 and HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0f through 5.1a allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -tn option.

The bug was discovered 11/01/2000. The weakness was disclosed 12/11/2000 by FIRST as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared for download at kb.cert.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2000-1031. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 40 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (5461), SecurityFocus (BID 1889†), OSVDB (1631†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-20916†). The entry VDB-16049 is pretty similar. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
