CVE-2004-2579
ACLCHECK module in Novell iChain 2.3 allows attackers to bypass access control rules of an unspecified component via an unspecified attack vector involving a string that contains escape sequences represented with "overlong UTF-8 encoding."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
