Multiple buffer overflows in qosmod in IBM AIX 6.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly gain privileges via long string arguments. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
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.
