IBM AIX Utape Command Local Privilege Escalation and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

AIX is prone to local privilege-escalation and denial-of-service vulnerabilities.

A local attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges or to overwrite arbitrary system files, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. To exploit this issue, an attacker must have both 'system group' and the diagnostics role.

AIX 5.2 and 5.3 are affected by this vulnerability.
