HP Tru64 for UNIX is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability.

Exploiting this issue allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges.
Successful exploits will result in a complete compromise of vulnerable computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

#   HP Tru64 DOP Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
#
#   UNIX HP Tru64 5.X '/usr/sbin/dop' Local Vulnerability root escalation.
#   HP Security bulletin code identification: HPSBTU02211 SSRT071326
#   Bugtraq ID: 23881
#
# - Public Released:
#   2007-05-09
#
# - System Affected:
#   Tru64 5.1  (ALL) (Last PatchKit: T64v51B20AS0006-20030210  - PK6 - BL20)
#   Tru64 5.1A (ALL) (Last PatchKit: T64V51AB24AS0006-20031031 - PK6 - BL24)

#
# - System NOT Tested:
#   Tru64 5.0
#
# - System NOT Affected:
#   Tru64 4.0x (dop will allways require root password, also for user root)

   Remember to delete it.
   As root do:

   shell

   Remember:
   - The script will never end.
   - If it does not run change ENV_TRG...
   - It is normal to see a message like:
     Error occurred trying to update /etc/doprc:
     shell already exists in /etc/doprc
     (This mean that the BUG is present...)

   You have to wait ${SLEEP} seconds.
   After this amount of time you will see a: '#' (the root shell prompt).

# Fork it in Background.

# Run the new dopAction.
# Sleep some seconds (maybe you have to change this value).
