CVE-2003-0703
KisMAC before 0.05d trusts user-supplied variables to load arbitrary kernels or kernel modules, which allows local users to gain privileges via the $DRIVER_KEXT environment variable as used in (1) viha_driver.sh, (2) macjack_load.sh, or (3)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
