Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Symark PowerBroker 2.8 through 5.0.1 allow local users to gain privileges via a long argv[0] string when executing (1) pbrun, (2) pbsh, or (3) pbksh. NOTE: the product is often installed in environments with trust relationships that facilitate subsequent remote compromises.
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.
