kmmodreg in HP-UX 11.11, 11.04 and 11.00 allows local users to create arbitrary world-writeable files via a symlink attack on the (1) /tmp/.kmmodreg_lock and (2) /tmp/kmpath.tmp temporary files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects legacy HP-UX systems. A local user could abuse predictable temporary files used by kmmodreg so that another file becomes world-writable. That can weaken system integrity if sensitive files are affected. The available bundle does not show internet-reachable exposure or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running HP-UX 11.00, 11.04, or 11.11 with local shell or account access for untrusted users. Treat this as a legacy-system integrity risk. It is not described as remotely exploitable, but affected HP-UX hosts with local users deserve prompt review, patch validation, and retirement planning if unsupported. Mitigation focus: Identify any HP-UX 11.00, 11.04, or 11.11 hosts.; Review HP advisory HPSBUX0106-153 or current HP support guidance for remediation.; Restrict local interactive access on affected systems to trusted administrators..
