SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, does not follow "-" entries in the /etc/group file, which may cause subsequent group membership entries to be processed inadvertently.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2003-0177 affects legacy SGI IRIX systems. IRIX may ignore “-” exclusion entries in /etc/group, causing later group memberships to be processed when administrators expected them to be blocked. This could create unintended access through group-based permissions. Exposure is limited to environments still running SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless legacy IRIX hosts remain in production, labs, manufacturing, or archival systems. Prioritize only if the organization still operates SGI IRIX. For active IRIX systems, treat as a legacy access-control risk requiring inventory, configuration review, and vendor advisory follow-up. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining SGI IRIX systems and their exact versions.; Check SGI advisory 20030701-01-P for vendor-recommended fixes or patches.; Avoid relying on “-” group exclusions until vendor guidance is applied..
