cfgcon in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly validate the argument to the "-p" option to swcons, which allows local users in the system group to create or overwrite an arbitrary file, and enable world writability of this file, by using the file's name as the argument.

AIX 5.2 and 5.3 install pioinit with user and group ownership of bin, which allows local users with bin or possibly printq privileges to gain root privileges by modifying pioinit.
