SCO OpenServer 5 ships with several suid 'root' executables used for email-related tasks. This includes sendmail, a component used to deliver or forward email messages to recipients. 'sendmail' contains a confirmed locally exploitable buffer overflow condition present in the handling of command-line parameters. If properly exploited, this can yield user root privileges to the attacker.
