Title: CDE DTPrintInfo Unspecified Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
CDE is the Common Desktop Environment. It is distributed with several versions of the UNIX Operating System, and maintained by various vendors.
dtprintinfo is a print viewer for CDE, which is typically installed setuid.
A vulnerability the CDE DPrintInfo utility has been identified that may result in privilege escalation. It is believed that this is due to a locally exploitable buffer overrun, which could allow for corruption of sensitive regions of memory with attacker-supplied values. Such a condition could theoretically be exploited to allow for execution of malicious instructions with elevated privileges.
The vendor has not released enough information to indicate whether this is a previously known issue or not. Specific information about this vulnerability is also not currently available.
This issue was described in BID 7713 and is now being assigned a separate
BID.
