Local users can exploit 'adb' in IBM AIX 4.3.1 to cause denial of service by halting the system.

adb is the debugger that ships with IBM's AIX operating system. It is possible for a local user to cause a local denial of service through exploiting the version of adb shipped with AIX 4.2 through 4.3.1. The consequence of adb being exploited is the machine being halted by a malicious local user.
