CVE-2003-1067
Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) dbm_open function, as used in ndbm and dbm, and the (2) dbminit function in Solaris 2.6 through 9 allow local users to gain root privileges via long arguments to Xsun or other programs that use these functions.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
