I tested BOF in AIX lately.
These are exploits of /usr/bin/enq and /usr/bin/X11/aixterm in AIX.
(My system language is Korean...)

This one is quite old. As referenced in the above URL, enq is fixed by APAR
IY08143. The vulnerability was resolved in filesets:

bos.rte.printers:4.3.3.1
printers.rte:4.3.3.11

You appear to be overflowing the input method identifier here. I don't see
anything explicitly mentioning this vulnerability in IBM's patch database. I
would be very interested in seeing the output of 'oslevel -r' and
'lslpp -al X11.apps.aixterm' on your test system.
