CVE-1999-1408: Vulnerability in AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 and 9.05 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash)...

Vulnerability in AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 and 9.05 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by using a socket to connect to a port on the localhost, calling shutdown to clear the socket, then using the same socket to connect to a different port on localhost.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local denial-of-service issue affecting specific legacy Unix systems. A user with access to the machine could trigger a crash through localhost socket handling. The main business risk is outage on still-running AIX 4.1.4 or HP-UX 10.01/9.05 systems, not remote compromise. Exposure appears limited to organizations still operating AIX 4.1.4 or HP-UX 10.01/9.05 with local user access. The provided structured affected-product data is incomplete. Treat this as a legacy-system resilience issue. Prioritize confirmation if these platforms still support business processes, then reduce local access and plan retirement or supported upgrades. Mitigation focus: Inventory hosts for AIX 4.1.4 and HP-UX 10.01 or 9.05.; Check IBM and HP support archives for applicable fixes or upgrade guidance.; Restrict local shell access to trusted users only..
