Description |
AIX Performance Tools contain a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when the 'tprof' utility is run with the '-x' parameter. Command arguments supplied to this parameter are run with the same privileges as 'tprof' (SUID root by default), allowing arbitrary privileged command execution.
