Subject:		OpenServer 5.0.6 OpenServer 5.0.7 : enable command line buffer overflows
Advisory number: 	SCOSA-2005.13
Issue date: 		2005 February 07
Cross reference:	sr875254 fz527477 erg712243 CAN-2004-1131
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Davide Del Vecchio reported a buffer overflow in HP-UX that
	affected the disable command. This caused us to take a
	closer look at the enable and disable commands in SCO
	OpenServer. 

	The system is designed to allow an administrator to give out 
	subsystem privileges. If a user has been given the "lp" 
	privilege, he could run enable/disable and possably
	gain root privileges. Regular users can't run enable and
	disable. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
	has assigned the name CAN-2004-1131 to this issue.
