Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-1998 is a legacy remote code execution issue in the rpc.cmsd calendar service on SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 and Open UNIX 8.0.0. A remote attacker could trigger a buffer overflow and run arbitrary commands. Business urgency is highest where these obsolete systems remain reachable on networks. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 or Open UNIX 8.0.0 with rpc.cmsd accessible. Internet-facing or broadly reachable legacy hosts would carry the greatest risk. Prioritize as high if any affected systems remain in production, especially if reachable by untrusted networks. The main business decision is whether to isolate, patch per vendor guidance, or retire these legacy hosts. Mitigation focus: Identify any SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 or Open UNIX 8.0.0 systems.; Review and apply guidance from Caldera/SCO advisory CSSA-2002-SCO.12.; Remove unnecessary network exposure to rpc.cmsd on affected hosts..
