Subject: PS Information Leak on HP True64 Alpha OSF1 v5.1 1885

[After months of silence from the "HP Software Security Response Team"]


-Type: Information leak
-Risk: low
-Author: Andrea "bunker" Purificato - http://rawlab.mindcreations.com

-Description: the "ps" command (also /usr/ucb/ps) on HP OSF1 v5.1 Alpha,
developed without an eye to security, allows unprivileged users to see
values of all processes environment variables.

It's something similar to "raptor_ucbps" (by Marco Ivaldi) for Solaris.

I've tested it only on OSF1 v5.1 1885.
If you remove bit suid from executable, "ps" doesn't work correctly.
