The Korn shell (aka mksh) before R33d on MirOS (aka MirBSD) does not flush the tty's I/O when invoking mksh in a new terminal, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening a virtual terminal and entering command sequences, which might later be executed in opportunistic circumstances by a different user who launches mksh and specifies that terminal with the -T option.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local privilege escalation issue in older mksh on MirOS/MirBSD. A local user could leave input queued on a terminal, and a later mksh session using that terminal might execute it under another user's context. Exposure appears narrow and legacy-focused. Likely limited to legacy MirOS/MirBSD environments running mksh before R33d, especially where multiple local users can access virtual terminals or where mksh -T is used operationally. Treat as a targeted legacy local-privilege risk, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize if MirOS/MirBSD or old mksh exists on shared-user systems; otherwise track as low operational urgency. Mitigation focus: Confirm whether any MirOS/MirBSD systems run mksh before R33d.; Upgrade mksh to R33d or later where vendor guidance applies.; Review operational use of mksh -T with shared or user-controllable terminals..
