CVE-2003-1358
rs.F300 for HP-UX 10.0 through 11.22 uses the PATH environment variable to find and execute programs such as rm while operating at raised privileges, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the path to point to a malicious rm program.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.95%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
