CVE-2005-3149
Uim 0.4.x before 0.4.9.1 and 0.5.0 and earlier does not properly handle the LIBUIM_VANILLA environment variable when a suid or sgid application is linked to libuim, such as immodule for Qt, which allows local users to gain privileges.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
