CRITICAL:

IMPACT:

Veritas File System 5.x

VERITAS File System (VxFS) 3.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/1789/

DESCRIPTION:
Two security issues have been reported in Veritas File System, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive
information.

1) The problem is that uninitialized file system blocks are used when
creating new files. This can be exploited to potentially gain access
to sensitive information by executing the set-uid root "qiomkfile"
utility.

2) An error in the set-uid root "qioadmin" utility can be exploited
to dump the content of restricted files to the standard error stream.

SOLUTION:
Veritas File System (VxFS) for Solaris, Linux, and AIX:
Update to version 5.0 MP3.
https://fileconnect.symantec.com/

Veritas File System (VxFS) for HP-UX:
Restrict access to the affected utilities. Please see vendor's
advisory for more information.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Derek Callaway of Security Objectives.
