Bugtraq: Re: HP-UX Problem...

[ajs () vorlon ajs com (Aaron Sherman)]

Did HP ever fix the diagnostic program that was SUID root, and
would read any file as a directive file? I found it amusing to
run this, and have it report "blah is unrecognized" for each line,
where "blah" is the contents of each line, one at a time, of any
system file, regardless of ownership and mode ;-) I told the HP
rep that came in to do some performance tuning for us, but I
don't know what he did or did not do about it.

I think it lived in a subdir of /bin or /usr/bin... Been too long
since I had a HockyP/UX box to play with though.
