CVE-2014-3074 Information

Description

The runtime linker in IBM AIX 6.1 and 7.1 and VIOS 2.2.x allows local users to create a mode-666 root-owned file and consequently gain privileges by setting crafted MALLOCOPTIONS and MALLOCBUCKETS environment-variable values and then executing a setuid program.
