CVE-2003-0337: Platform Lsadmin

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The ckconfig command in lsadmin for Load Sharing Facility (LSF) 5.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary programs by modifying the LSF_ENVDIR environment variable to reference an alternate lsf.conf file, then modifying LSF_SERVERDIR to point to a malicious lim program, which lsadmin then executes.
