CVE-2008-4313
A certain Red Hat patch for tog-pegasus in OpenGroup Pegasus 2.7.0 does not properly configure the PAM tty name, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and send requests to OpenPegasus WBEM services.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
