CVE-2002-1617
Multiple buffer overflows in HP Tru64 UNIX 5.x allow local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long -contextDir argument to dtaction, (2) a long -p argument to dtprintinfo, (3) a long -customization argument to dxterm, or (4) a long DISPLAY…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
