They would have the rights of whatever userID under which the PASE
application being attacked is running. If this profile had *ALLOBJ
security, they could do anything they wanted on the entire system, not
just in the PASE environment (PASE was designed to allow calls to native
i5/OS stuff). But even just using standard Unix file system commands
(e.g. ls, cat, cp, rm, etc...), they could manipulate most of the data on
the machine.

My question is this, if a successful PASE buffer overflow is
accomplished under i5/OS, what can the hacker hope to accomplish? What
rights would they have to the rest of the system?
