The NFSv4 client implementation in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, and VIOS before 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, does not properly handle GID values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.
The kernel in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02, does not properly implement the dupmsg system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application.
libodm.a in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.
The socketpair function in IBM AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1 and VIOS 2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted application that leverages the presence of a socket on the free list.
The (1) bin/invscoutClientVPDSurvey and (2) sbin/invscoutlsvpd programs in invscout.rte before 2.2.0.19 on IBM AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3, and earlier allow local users to delete arbitrary files, or trigger inventory scout operations on arbitrary files, via a symlink attack on an unspecified file.
Buffer overflow in sasnap in the bos.esagent fileset in IBM AIX 6.1, 5.3, and earlier and VIOS 2.1, 1.5, and earlier allows local users to leverage system group membership and gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
The malloc subsystem in libc in IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the log file associated with the MALLOCDEBUG environment variable.
Unspecified vulnerability in the IBM Asynchronous I/O (aka AIO or libibmaio) library in the Java Message Service (JMS) component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1.x before 6.1.0.17 on AIX 5.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via vectors related to the aiogetioev2 and getEvent methods.
Buffer overflow in errpt in IBM AIX 5.2, 5.3, and 6.1 allows local users to gain privileges via unknown attack vectors.
The proc filesystem in the kernel in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly enforce directory permissions when a file executing from a directory has weaker permissions than the directory itself, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
The kernel in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly handle resizing JFS2 filesystems on concurrent volume groups spread across multiple nodes, which allows local users of one node to cause a denial of service (remote node crash) by using chfs or lreducelv to reduce a filesystem's size.
sysmgt.websm.webaccess in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 has world writable permissions for unspecified WebSM Remote Client files, which allows local users to "alter the behavior of" this client by overwriting these files.
The ps program in bos.rte.control in IBM AIX 5.2, 5.3, and 6.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
cfgcon in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly validate the argument to the "-p" option to swcons, which allows local users in the system group to create an arbitrary file, and enable world writability of this file, via a symlink attack involving use of the file's name as the argument. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-5804.
cfgcon in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly validate the argument to the "-p" option to swcons, which allows local users in the system group to create or overwrite an arbitrary file, and enable world writability of this file, by using the file's name as the argument.
The perfstat kernel extension in bos.perf.perfstat in AIX 5.3 does not verify privileges when processing a SET call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang or crash) via unspecified SET operations.
Unspecified vulnerability in invscout in Inventory Scout in invscout.rte in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allows local users to delete system files that have names matching the final substring of a hostname alias, as demonstrated by hostnames ending in "unix".
Multiple buffer overflows in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allow local users in the system group to gain root privileges via unspecified vectors involving the (1) chpath, (2) rmpath, and (3) devinstall programs in bos.rte.methods.
AIX 5.2 and 5.3 install pioinit with user and group ownership of bin, which allows local users with bin or possibly printq privileges to gain root privileges by modifying pioinit.

Unspecified vulnerability in perl.rte 5.8.0.10 through 5.8.0.95 on IBM AIX 5.2, and 5.8.2.10 through 5.8.2.50 on AIX 5.3, allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to the installation and "waiting for a legitimate user to execute a binary that ships with Perl."
Buffer overflow in bos.rte.libc in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via the "r-commands", possibly including (1) rdist, (2) rsh, (3) rcp, (4) rsync, and (5) rlogin.
