Buffer Overflow in IRIX dmplay
The program dmplay in certain versions of IRIX is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack. The issue arises due to the improper handling of the DISPLAY variable, allowing an attacker to supply a long string and overwrite the buffer.
Mitigation:
Apply the appropriate patch or upgrade to a non-vulnerable version of IRIX.
