CVE-2003-0704
KisMAC before 0.05d trusts user-supplied variables when chown'ing files or directories, which allows local users to gain privileges via the $DRIVER_KEXT environment variable in (1) viha_driver.sh, (2) macjack_load.sh, (3) airojack_load.sh, (4)…
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.
