Buffer overflow in the text editor functionality in HP-UX 10.01 through 11.04 on HP9000 Series 700 and Series 800 allows local users to cause a denial of service ("system availability") via text editors such as (1) e, (2) ex, (3) vi, (4) edit, (5) view, and (6) vedit.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old HP-UX vulnerability where a local user could crash or disrupt system availability through built-in text editors. The risk is mainly to legacy HP9000 environments that still allow interactive local access. Exposure is limited to legacy HP-UX 10.01 through 11.04 systems on HP9000 Series 700 or 800, especially where untrusted users have shell access. Treat this as a legacy-platform availability risk. Prioritize systems that support critical operations or permit non-administrator local access; otherwise handle through legacy asset hardening and lifecycle planning. Mitigation focus: Inventory HP-UX versions and HP9000 hardware still in service.; Review HP advisory HPSBUX0011-132 and CERT VU#268848 for official vendor direction.; Restrict local interactive access to trusted administrators only..
