Multiple buffer overflows in programs used by scoadmin and sysadmsh in SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a and earlier allow local users to gain privileges via a long TERM environment variable to (1) atcronsh, (2) auditsh, (3) authsh, (4) backupsh, (5) lpsh, (6) sysadm.menu, or (7) termsh.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy SCO OpenServer local privilege-escalation issue. A person who already has local access could abuse buffer overflows in administrative helper programs used by scoadmin and sysadmsh. The provided sources do not show remote exposure or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy SCO OpenServer 5.0.6a or earlier systems where untrusted or lower-privileged users can log in locally or through shell access. Treat as high priority only for organizations still running legacy SCO OpenServer with local users. For most modern environments, the main action is asset discovery and legacy-system retirement planning. Mitigation focus: Inventory SCO OpenServer systems and identify versions 5.0.6a or earlier.; Review CSSA-2001-SCO.25 and vendor guidance for the official corrective action.; Prioritize upgrade, replacement, or decommissioning of legacy SCO hosts..
