Buffer overflow in the pfs_mountd.rpc RPC daemon in the Portable File System (PFS) in HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11, and B.11.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending "a call to procedure 5, followed by a crafted payload to procedure 2."

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-1993 is a remote code execution risk in HP-UX Portable File System. If an affected HP-UX system exposes the pfs_mountd.rpc service, an attacker could crash or take control of that service. The bundle does not provide active exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely on legacy HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11, or B.11.23 hosts with PFS installed and pfs_mountd.rpc enabled or reachable. Internet exposure would increase urgency, but the bundle does not identify default enablement or affected configurations beyond those versions. Treat this as high priority for legacy HP-UX environments, especially where RPC services are reachable across networks. For organizations without HP-UX PFS exposure, urgency is low after inventory confirmation. Mitigation focus: Review HP advisory HPSBUX02203 for vendor-approved fixes and configuration guidance.; Patch or retire affected HP-UX releases according to vendor and operational constraints.; Disable PFS or pfs_mountd.rpc where it is not required..
