Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the ftp client in IBM AIX 5.3 SP6 and 5.2.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger the overflow in a gets function call. NOTE: the client is setuid root on AIX, so this issue crosses privilege boundaries.

Un desbordamiento de búfer en el cliente ftp en IBM AIX versiones 5.3 SP6 y 5.2.0, permite a usuarios locales ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de vectores no especificados que desencadenan el desbordamiento en una llamada de la función gets. NOTA: el cliente es root del setuid en AIX, por lo que este problema cruza los límites de privilegios.
