There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ToolTalk library libtt.a. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability when the rpc.ttdbserver is enabled in /etc/inetd.conf.
The successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the root user.
The following libraries and executables are vulnerable :
/usr/dt/lib/libtt.a /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver.
