CVE-2011-1738
HP Palm webOS 1.4.5 and 1.4.5.1 does not properly restrict Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) applications, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging unintended filesystem write access.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
