    This deserves passing on.  SGI has a patch for the problem, but apparently
    hasn't publicized the details.

    Subject: irix-6.2 "at -f" vulnerability
    
    The irix-6.2 "at -f" vulnerability was mentioned on BUGTRAQ a while back. [1]
    Unfortunately SGI has not issued an advisory on this, nor does it appear
    in their security patches list at www.sgi.com as of Aug 4, although a
    patch *has* been made available.
    
    The patch number is 3184 and those with SGI Surfzone IDs can get it
    by searching for "3184" at SGI's web site.  The top-level description
    says it is for 6.4, but the patch README mentions 6.2 bugs which are
    patched.
