gr_osview in SGI IRIX 6.5.22, and possibly other 6.5 versions, does not drop privileges when opening description files while in debug mode, which allows local users to read a line from arbitrary files via the -d and -D options, which prints the line as a formatting error.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-0464 is an old local information disclosure issue in SGI IRIX gr_osview. A local user could cause the tool, in debug mode, to reveal a line from files they should not be able to read. Business urgency depends on whether legacy IRIX systems still exist and allow local user access. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running SGI IRIX 6.5.22 or possibly other 6.5 releases, especially where untrusted local users have shell or application-level access. Treat as a legacy-system risk. Prioritize if IRIX systems support sensitive operations or allow multiple local users. Otherwise, handle through legacy asset cleanup and access reduction. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining SGI IRIX 6.5 systems.; Review SGI advisory 20050402-01-P for applicable vendor guidance.; Apply vendor-recommended patches or configuration changes where available..
