Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: SCO OpenServer versions 5.0 through 5.0.6

Description: A buffer overflow issue exists in the lpforms command of SCO OpenServer, which can be exploited by a local attacker to gain additional privileges. This is achieved by providing a long first argument to the lpforms command.

Recommendations: For SCO OpenServer versions 5.0 through 5.0.6, consider restricting access to the lpforms command until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using long arguments with the lpforms command to minimize the risk of exploitation.
