Buffer overflow in autoconf6 in IBM AIX 6.1.0 through 6.1.2, when Role-Based Access Control is enabled, allows local users with aix.network.config.tcpip authorization to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
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.
