Buffer overflow in the swcons command in bos.rte.console in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-3504 and CVE-2007-0978.
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.
