A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the implementation of the 'man' system manual pager program commonly included with Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
The vulnerability exists due to the way the program handles manual page files beginning with a '.so' statement. Under certain circumstances, the code responsible for processing this data may be allow the length of the filename from a '.so' statement to be expanded, eventually causing a boundary condition error.
|
|
|
|
As a result, it may be possible for local users to execute arbitrary code with group 'man' privileges.
