Buffer overflow in wall for HP-UX 10.20 through 11.11 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code by calling wall with a large file as an argument.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
