Multiple buffer overflows in (1) mkque and (2) mkquedev in bos.rte.printers in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1 allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging printq group membership.
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.
