CVE-2007-2998

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.9)—

The Pascal run-time library (PAS$RTL.EXE) before 20070418 on OpenVMS for Integrity Servers 8.3, and PAS$RTL.EXE before 20070419 on OpenVMS Alpha 8.3, does not properly restore PC and PSL values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via certain Pascal code.
