iDefense Security Advisory 10.30.07 - Local exploitation of a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in IBM Corp.'s AIX operating system may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. The vulnerability exists within the parsing of the '-V' command line option. The argument to this option is copied into a fixed size stack buffer using the sprintf() function without properly validating the length. This leads to an exploitable stack buffer overflow. iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in AIX version 5.2 and 5.3. Previous versions may also be affected.
