Unspecified vulnerability in dtterm in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allows local users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges via unspecified vectors.
Search vulnerabilities
lsfs in AIX 4.x allows a local user to gain additional privileges by creating Trojan horse programs named (1) grep or (2) lslv in a certain directory that is under the user's control, which cause lsfs to access the programs in that directory.
AIX batch queue (bsh) allows local and remote users to gain additional privileges when network printing is enabled.
pcnfsd (aka rpc.pcnfsd) allows local users to change file permissions, or execute arbitrary commands through arguments in the RPC call.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in the mkvg command in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the path to point to a malicious (1) chdev, (2) mkboot, (3) varyonvg, or (4) varyoffvg program.
Unspecified vulnerability in setlocale in IBM AIX 5.1.0 through 5.3.0 allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
security flaw
Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in update_flash for IBM AIX 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via unknown vectors involving lsmcode and possibly other commands.
Buffer overflow in libi18n library in IBM AIX 5.1 and 4.3.x allows local users to gain root privileges via a long LANG environmental variable.
Buffer overflow in xmcd 2.0p12 allows local users to gain access through an environmental variable.
rm_mlcache_file in bos.rte.install in AIX 5.1.0 through 5.3.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
AIX SNMP server snmpd allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a RST during the TCP connection.
Unspecified vulnerability in mklvcopy in BOS.RTE.LVM in IBM AIX 5.3 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands when mklvcopy calls external commands, possibly due to an untrusted search path vulnerability.
Buffer overflow in the arp command of IBM AIX 5.3 L, 5.3, 5.2.2, 5.2 L, and 5.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long iftype argument.
AIX sysback before 4.2.1.13 uses a relative path to find and execute the hostname program, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the path to point to a malicious hostname program.
rpc.ypupdated (NIS) allows remote users to execute arbitrary commands.
Buffer overflow in AIX libDtSvc library can allow local users to gain root access.
lscfg in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
Unspecified vulnerability in the (1) unix_mp and (2) unix_64 kernels in IBM AIX 5.3 VRMF 5.3.0.30 through 5.3.0.33 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via unknown vectors related to EMULATE_VMX.
Buffer overflow in portmir for AIX 4.3.0 allows local users to corrupt lock files and gain root privileges via the echo_error routine.
