CVE-2006-0178: Cray Unicos

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Format string vulnerability in /bin/ftp in UNICOS 9.0.2.2 allows local users to have an unknown impact via format string specifiers in the quote command. NOTE: because the program is not setuid and not normally called from remote programs, there may not be a typical attack vector for the issue that crosses privilege boundaries. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.

Affected products

• Cray Unicos: version 9.0.2.2 only
