Title: HP-UX SLSD Remote Arbitrary File Creation Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
SLSd is a Single Logical Screen daemon for HP-UX, a UNIX distribution from HP.
HP-UX running SLSd is prone to a remote arbitrary-file-creation vulnerability.
This issue stems from a design error in the 'SLSd_daemon' RPC daemon. A remote attacker can exploit this issue by sending a specially crafted request to have the daemon create arbitrary files with superuser privileges on a vulnerable computer. This issue occurs when 'SLSD_DAEMON = 1' is present in the '/etc/rc.config.d/slsd' file.
A successful exploit can result in the complete compromise of affected computers.
Affected Products:
- HP HP-UX B.11.11
