CVE-2003-0937: Sco Open Unix

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows local users to bypass protections for the "as" address space file for a process ID (PID) by obtaining a procfs file descriptor for the file and calling execve() on a setuid or setgid program, which leaves the descriptor open to the user.

Affected products

• Sco Open Unix: version 8.0 only
• Sco Unixware: version 7.1.1 only; version 7.1.3 only
