HP-UX libc timezone environment overflow exploit. HP-UX libc contains an exploitable stack overflow in the handling of "TZ" environment variable. The problem occurs due to insufficient bounds checking in the localtime_r() and related functions. Any suid or sgid program which uses the timezone functions can be used as an attack vector. This exploit uses "su" to obtain root privileges.
