Description
The AIX kernel contains a buffer which can overflow. A local attacker may exploit this overflow to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode or create a denial of service by causing an unexpected system halt. The following files are vulnerable: /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp /usr/lib/boot/unix_up
