CVE-2001-0366
saposcol in SAP R/3 Web Application Server Demo before 1.5 trusts the PATH environmental variable to find and execute the expand program, which allows local users to obtain root access by modifying the PATH to point to a Trojan horse expand program.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.56%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
