Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SCO Unixware versions 7.1.3 through 7.1.4

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the uidadmin component of SCO Unixware, allowing local users to execute arbitrary code. This is achieved by specifying a large file via the -S (scheme) argument.

Recommendations For SCO Unixware versions 7.1.3 and 7.1.4, consider restricting access to the uidadmin component until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the -S argument with large files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
