Summary
SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and Open UNIX 8.0.0 allows local users to bypass protections for the "as" address space file for a process ID (PID) by obtaining a procfs file descriptor for the file and calling execve() on a setuid or setgid program, which leaves the descriptor open to the user.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
