Title: SCO UnixWare '/var/mail' permissions Vulnerability
Severity: INFO
Description:
Certain versions of SCO's UnixWare (only 7.1 was tested) ship with the /var/mail/
directory with permission 777(-rwxrwxrwx) . This in effect allows malicious users to read incoming mail for users who do not yet have a mail file (/var/mail/username) present. This may be done by simply creating the file in question with a permission mode which is readable to the attacker.
Affected Products:
- SCO Unixware 7.1.0
