Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-0327 is a local privilege escalation issue in Century Software TERM. A local user could abuse a buffer overflow in the callin program’s tty argument to gain root privileges. This matters mainly for legacy systems where TERM is still installed and local users or compromised accounts exist. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Unix/Linux systems running Century Software TERM with the callin program present. The sources indicate local-user access is required; they do not indicate remote unauthenticated exposure. Prioritize this on legacy multi-user systems or environments where old terminal emulation software remains installed. It is not presented as an internet-wide emergency, but root compromise from a local foothold can materially increase breach impact. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Century Software TERM and the callin program.; Remove or disable TERM callin where it is not operationally required.; Check vendor or archived package guidance for patched TERM versions..
