CVE-2008-6558
Untrusted search path vulnerability in (1) hvdisp and (2) rcvm in ReliantHA 1.1.4 in SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the RELIANT_PATH environment variable to point to a malicious bin/hvenv program.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.87%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
