CVE-2007-0752: Apple Mac OS X
High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The PPP daemon (pppd) in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 checks ownership of the stdin file descriptor to determine if the invoker has sufficient privileges, which allows local users to load arbitrary plugins and gain root privileges by bypassing this check.
